The 1 thing that stands out the most about Barnes is his character/work ethic. Barnes is a kid who wants to be great and is willing to put in the work to become perfect. There is a reason a NBA scout who was there to watch him at the Hoop Summit likened him to a taller Kobe Bryant. You just cant teach those intangibles of a kid his age seeking self perfection. He got stronger in the offseason and improved his game and at only 19 its hard to find a player like that.
Please dont even compare him to Marvin Williams because they are 2 completely different players. Marvin was never "polished" with a legit skillset nor was an impact player in the college ranks. He was an athlete with the upside to be a versatile 3/4 in the NBA and was drafted far too high in one of the dumbest draft moves in NBA history.
