If I had to guess...Harrison Barnes.

Michael Jordan brings in the UNC connection.

MKG >>>>>> T-Rob


T-Rob seems stiff at times, MKG is only 18 years old and will be sick with a few years of NBA coaching.

Probably gonna be MKG. Thomas Robinson measured up a little short (6'7.25"), but I don't think it was really unexpected.

MKG is the only answer here. His performance in the tournament was outstanding. He was hurt down the stretch, but he still stayed aggressive by putting the ball on the floor and driving to the lane. Barnes is legit, though.

Don't you put that evil on Kyrie Irving.

How does Harrison Barnes make everyone forget that he's so average? Does nobody remember when he played his way to the back of the lottery during the tournament?

MKG is a more athletic version of Bledsoe, probably a better overall player too, and we saw how good Bledsoe can be if given the chance during the Memphis series.

I understand what you are saying, but they really do serve two different purposes. Bledsoe is a PG/SG hybrid, depending on where you need him, and MKG is SG/SF. They are both incredibly aggressive.

At their respective positions of course. I think of them in similar roles on their respective Kentucky squads too, as not THE guy, but a really good player with lots of potential.

I think MKG can be THE guy. He has great instincts, he likes to get to the basket, he is a good passer, and he can create his own shots. I like the kid a lot.

I agree, just wasn't at Kentucky long enough to move into that role, I think after 3 years he could be that in the NBA, maybe even 2 years. I was thoroughly surprised by Bledsoe's shooting ability this season and how much it had improved from college and last season. If MKG can make that same improvement, he could be very good, better version of Joe Johnson maybe? Maybe even the only guy in the NBA capable of sticking with LeBron using pure athleticism.

Harrison Barnes will be a solid 3 in the NBA. I didnt say great and I didnt say all star. I just said solid.

I told everyone there was no way he was 6'10", but everyone said "he measured 6'9" in socks"
