    I think 99% of people were. I thought he was going to be a polished Draymond Green, but it looks like his game is even more refined.

    If he models his game after the Draymonds and the Giannises of the world, I think he could be a top 5 player in like 5 years.

    Barnes will be the second best player in this draft.

    I wonder at this rate if it's gonna be like 2012 draft where Lillard outshone Beal in the 1st year. This time it's gonna be Barnes against our boy Green.

    I've become quite a fan of the Raptors and I was really happy to see they drafted him over Suggs who I was just not very high on. Granted, my reference was reports and highlights, but Barnes made so much more sense. Also with FVV still there for the forseeable future and a departure of Siakam in the offing, I already thought it made most sense. Now it looks like they knocked it out of the park. Raptors have a solid development program and good eye for talent it seems. That championship team was home grown for the most part, just like the Warriors.

    Barnes likes a bit of mid range in his game. (right side of court)

    NGL, shades of Bernard King with his footwork and instincts. So retro, and I love it.

    I had him in the Underrated Top 5 in Pre-season but if he wins it, so be it.
