Ever since Barnes entered the NCAA I have enjoyed watching him play at a high level. As a freshman everyone knew how good of a season Barnes had. This year might not have been quite as good but he still had solid season in 2011-2012. He averaged 17.4 points per game and 5.2 rebounds per game. Barnes was one of the few leaders on UNC along with Tyler Zeller and Kendall Marshall. The Tar Heels had a great season and I believe that he will had the best season of them all. He had 27 games with at least 15 points and 21 games with at least 5 rebounds. Barnes is a great outside shooter and is dangerous when he is not double covered. He is projected to go in the early first round to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Considering that we do not know the actual draft order and we are taking estimates, I think he will go to either the Cavs or the Sacramento Kings. Last year, Cleveland drafted points guard, Kyrie Irving and he has made a smooth transition to the NBA. They could use someone like Barnes who could play at the small forward position. The Kings just need someone good in general. They have brought in some solid prospects in the past years such as, Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins. Their franchise is building up and adding Barnes would only help them. Barnes has the skill set to be a great player in the NBA standing at 6 feet 8 inches weighing in at 210 pounds and can shoot the rock effectively. Barnes has had a great two years in college and I can not wait to hear good things about him while he is in the NBA. He is a great talent with potential to do great things at the next level.
