So you don't watch college ball?
Ok, first of all, who the is Harrison Barnes??? I'm getting tired of seeing all his shots going in. I had never heard of this guy before the playoffs started.
But based on what I'm seeing so far in this series, it looks like Harrison Barnes >>> Kawhi Leonard, at least in terms of offensive game.

he was like the #1 high school recruit in the nation
Not since the 1980s. That's when college basketball died as far as I'm concerned. So I guess he played well in college? Nevertheless, I had never heard of him before.
Best young small forwards in the game
1. Leonard
2. Parsons
3. Barnes
So Paul George is already a veteran?
It helps that when Barnes has a mismatch... He gets the ball... When Kawhi has a mismatch we are refusing to give him the ball in the post
He was the #1 rated player in high school 2 years ago, went to North Carolina and didn't quite live up to the hype, but a lot of scouts were saying that he would be a much better pro than college player. And so far they're right.
My bad, I forgot about the all-star.
Kawhi is guarding the best shooting backcourt in the history of the league. Barnes is guarding a bunch of jumpshooting pussies
Just listened to his stats on the TNT halftime. Regular season averaged 10 pts, 5 boards. In the first round, averaged 16 and 7, and now 18 and 8 against the Spurs. So it does seem like his success is a surprise.
I was hoping Barnes was not one of those scrubs who only seems to play well against the Spurs. If he's truly a good player, I can live with that.
Leonard is better than Barnes. Yes, Barnes is having a good series but I'd take Leonard any day of the week.
no, only >>
Harrison Barnes was a 13 PER regular season player that sucked for most of the year..his playoffs PER is 13.5, his playoffs output has been average, tbh..
He's being guarded by Tony Parker, Gary Neal and Matt Bonner..naturally, he's going to have some decent moments..
If the Warriors win this series and go against Memphis, he'll have a horrible series against players of the same size, just like he did for most of the regular season..
I'd take him over Kawhi. He has a pair of balls, and is making his presence felt.
Harrison Barnes isn't better than Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, Chandler Parsons and Gordon Hayward either, tbh..
No
Landry might be better than Duncan though. ( Not really but Duncan is playing like )
Kwahi ting on OP with a poster dunk
Kawhi with the big...
Barnes was a lottery pick in a strongish draft, while Leonard a mid-teen pick in a poor draft. Add to that the fact that Leonard's rookie year was the lockout shortened season, and yeah Harrison Barnes is probably a better prospect than Leonard. Oh and add the fact that pop is bringing him along slowly, while Jackson is playing his rookies a lot, and yeah...
Yeah, he was hyped as the next Kobe but instead shot 10-18.
KL has so much more game than Pop lets him use at this point..
u don't know who harrison barnes is? him and reggie bullock were the 2 guards for carolina here. bullock went to high school here in my area. he was top 10 in the nation coming out of high school too. but he aint better than leonard. he's a better scorer, but leonard is not out there to score. leonard is a far superior defensive player.
I will take 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.
