Harrison Barnes the next Kobe Bryant/ Lebron James

[GOBB]

I remember when every 6'10 kid with athletic ability was the next KG. Now we're flooded with the next Kobe, Lebron even tho those 2 players games are not identical. And watching his highlights he doesnt come across as either. But neither did most of those 6'10 kids with athletic ability aka next KG.

How old are you freshprince? 15?

Kevin Durant except 3 inches short, wingspan is 4 inches shorter, and he doesn't have anywhere close to the moves/shot.

Poor mans Kevin Durant

durant sucks, nothing but a chucker

LeBron has always been flat chested, not a really defined core. He not a heavy lifter terms of how much he can put up. However, he has thick bones and leg muscles that give him all his weight, and has been since he was a 15 year old freshman

Stop being an idiot. They have been doing pre measurements since the early 80's. LeBron elected not to do any testing because that could only hurt his stock

http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-...15&pos=3&sort=

LeBron measured in at 6'7.25 w/o shoes and 245lbs

Exactly to this day he hasnt stepped on a scale. And NO they just started measuring players vertical,agility, and all that somewhere in the last 5 to 6 years. Before that they never tested that stuff. Lol @ 80's. Why dont you think theirs no official vertical for Vince,Jordan,Kobe etc.
That pic was when he was already in the Nba. When he just turned 17 he wasnt even 200 just look at his frame.

When Lebron came into the league he wasn not 245. Theirs a reason he skipped the combine. Lebron now is 250. And can you tell the weight he put on since he was a rookie? .probably like 25-30 pounds. He came into the league at like 210-220. Lebron obviously lied about his size to make him seem more godly. If it was so true i dont think he wouldnt entertain the idea of coming to the draftBut you claimed he was 200 as a freshman
Admit you were wrong already

Howard is athletic. Oden is not

The string of stupidity you just displayed with these posts is amazing.

Just from watching that mixtape he looks like he has a great jumpshot, but he doesn't really seem super athletic. It might be me but he looks like a stick.

Anyway, he should be a very good NBA player come his time.

Wait until you see him next to John Henson at North Carolina next season.

[midatlantic09]

I think he'll be a Loul Deng type player in the NBA.
This talk about him being comparable to Lebron, Kobe, Durant, etc. is absurd.

[GiveItToBurrito]

He might wind up being the best player in his class, but, really, when was the last time a shooting guard got taken number 1? Is he really a good enough passer that he would be most natural as a point forward?

How often you do see a kid who has a better jump shot then 95% of the NBA?

Who has a better jumpshot then him? Kobe, Dirk and then im stuck so its probably higher then that. His pull up is nicer then Jj, Pierce, Crawford,roy.

Yes the NBA lacks shooters outside of Kobe and Dirk.

Amazing thread though

[Im so nba'd out]

I remember this time period vividly. Harrison Barnes had an Andrew Wiggins esque level of hype during this time. This was right around the time he was seen as a kobe level player, and Tyler Zeller was seen as a paul gasol level player. Both comparisons were horribly inaccurate, but most people at that time believed it.

The hype started dying down when barnes kept disappearing during random college games; especially when they needed him to take over. It was completely gone by the end of his sophomore year, when people noticed he wasn't an elite ball handler.
