I always had my questions about Barnes. He has an NBa body and a very good jumper but thats about it IMO.

I hate using the word potential but I think with the right coaching that Barnes has the raw talent to be super good but I still would pick Gilchrist over him.

On Simmons' podcast Steve Kerr said he thinks Harrison Barnes might fall out of the top 10.
I realize I'm putting this here for you to read... but please, don't talk about it.

FWIW I read somewhere this fall that Barnes played hoops all summer with a bunch of NBA guys, and all the players said he had the game of a 4 or 5 year NBA vet. Not sure it's worth drastically lowering his stock based on a few games. I think he'll be really good in the NBA

He hasn't been that good all year. I think that he'll end up being the 3rd best pro on UNCs team right now.
Kerr said he thinks Barnes' ceiling is a softer Sean Elliott and I think I agree.I realize I'm putting this here for you to read... but please, don't talk about it.

He strikes me as one of those "solid pro" guys. There is no question that he they are a pro caliber player but they aren't a superstar or even a star for that matter. I just don't see him standing out on the NBA level.

Arnett Moultrie is in
Arnett Moultrie needed only one season to leave his mark at Mississippi State. Fans hoping for a second season did not get their wish Wednesday. MSU's leading scorer and rebounder intends to enter his name into the NBA Draft next week, effectively ending his short- but-memorable career in Starkville. "Everyone who is in his corner and is around him feels like it's time," said Brian

Kerr also said he thinks Sullinger could be Kevin Loveish. Which I don't agree with and seems crazy considering how goods KL has become but when you think about what he was at UCLA maybe it's not that crazy.

I'm not that big on Barnes either. He reminds me a little of Marvin Williams.
I will admit I was wrong about Love, but Sullinger is soft, and will be a bust.
