Everyone has bad games... I don't think Moti has much left to prove in his offensive game... I'm glad he's keeping up the improved rebounding

According to most people here it only took 2 games to make Barnes' stock plummet in the eyes of scouts. It's a good thing we have all these insiders around here.
The Polish league (in which this loss came from) is pretty bad FWIW. I disagree about Barnes though. It's not about two bad games. People were starting to cool on him along the way already.
I still think Barnes is a top 10 prospect in a deep draft class, so I don't understand why people are suddenly so down on him. His intangibles are a concern, but 7 foot wingspan + good shooting is pretty special.
Professional league is still better than college though. At the very least, it gives players a better mindset and team mentality for coming into the NBA. As well as competing against professionals rather than college kids. There just aren't that many games where you can really judge college kids. 1st round picks generally out-talent their opponents by quite a bit in most games. There are very few games where you can see how they stack up against similar competition.
I don't think Barnes will be as good as Parsons. Barnes IMO will be a role player and limited at that. Perry Jones III just pass please. If Marcus Morris is a Power Forward in a Small Forwards body then PJ3 is a Small forward in a Power Forwards body.
Harrison Barnes is such a terrible passer that the only he'll succeed is if he becomes a "Melo type scorer, which is a possibility but not likely.
I still laugh every time I hear an announcer for another team mention how Parsons spent a season playing in Europe. They seem to forget there was a strike and many of the players like Parsons went to Europe for a month or 2 waiting for the strike to be over. Parsons certainly was not there long enough to get anything from the Euros.
