Harrison Barnes is averaging 9 ppg on 40% shooting; why did you all overrate him?

[PleezeBelieve]

All of a sudden nobody talks about how the Cavs should have drafted him.

Figures

[outbreak]

because he looked great last season, we could flip this and post Kyries stats and ask why cavs fans are no longer bragging about how great he is? Same thing players can have slumps when their situation changes...

[G-train]

Your numbers are off.

And yes they should have drafted him, but good for him that they didn't.

Dude that Cavs have ****ed up through the draft so much. So many very high picks the last few years and you still look the worst pile of shit in the nba(yes, worse then Detroit), I seriously cannot see the upside of the current roster, besides that you may have a borderline superstar in Kyrie.

[no pun intended]

Seems to have trouble in getting into rhythm off the bench.

I was always curious in having a starting lineup of Curry/Iggy/Barnes with Thompson off the bench. Thompson's streaky shooting would benefit them more if he were the sixth man, in my opinion.

Irving and Thompson are great but yeah they are a rebuilding team that is in need of a fresh rebuild.

Anthony Bennet doe

[Lebron23]

He's actually averaging 10.1 ppg on 41 FG%

[bdreason]

He's not adjusting well to coming off the bench and playing limited minutes. In the games where he's started and played extended minutes, he's actually played really well.


Barnes is a utility player; good at everything, great at nothing. You can't put him out on the court with the 2nd unit and expect him to carry the offense. He needs to be playing with the starting unit, and either Iggy or Thompson need to come off the bench.

Exactly, they have had what? two number 1 picks, and 3 top five picks the last four years and unless they can ass rape some dumb GM when they eventually trade Dion they are already in need of another rebuild. Except rebuild how? through the draft is not likely lol, their coach isnt likely to develop the young players they have let alone any new rookies.

Seriously I feel for cleveland fans.

[HylianNightmare]

doesn't help that they signed iggy

[Bigsmoke]

He meant to start.

The Warriors need both of those guys to start. Barnes is still a luxury to have coming the bench.

[Im so nba'd out]

In other words, he's just not that good of a player. Marginal talents always need better players around them to look their best.

Can't create his own shot. Can't playmake. Can't believe he was hyped all like that.
