Marvin Williams only played one season at UNC and when you compare his freshman year to Barnes he was every bit as good and imo better. He was definitely a better shooter than Barnes so I don't know what you're talking about.

Williams frosh year stats:
2004-05 36 22.2mpg 11.3ppg 50.6fg% 43.2(3pt%) 84.7(ft%) 0.7apg 6.6rpg 0.5bpg 1.1spg

Barnes frosh year stats:
2010-11 37 29.4mpg 15.7ppg 42.fg% 34.4(3pt%) 75.4(ft%) 1.4apg 5.8rpg 0.4bpg 0.7spg


4 less ppg while playing 7 fewer minutes and shooting at a MUCH higher percentage. Better shooter from everywhere on the court including 3pt range. Better rebounder.

How is Barnes any better of a prospect?

_________________

See my above post, your comments about Barnes being "10x the better shooter" are worthy of the dumb sports thoughts thread.

All these guys being drafted were born around the time I was going into high school. I swear I'm not that old.

_________________

Marvin williams still doesn't have a mid range game, and he didn't avg 17ppg for 2 years against ACC comp.

LOL ROY WILLIAMS. he just outed kendall williams as changing his phone # yesterday, which is hilarious considering all the I DONT KNOW YOU HOES-ing going on during tonight's draft =D

_________________

You have to look at context shakes, unless you also think Marvin Williams was a better 3 point shooter than Ray Allen as a frosh in college. most NBA people disagree with you. Doesn't mean you couldn't end up being right, but it'd be a surprise. That's why it's annoying when people blindly quote stats. Barnes is a safe pick. You know what you're getting.

I love the commish getting booed every time he comes out on stage.

_________________

That Philly roster is real solid.

_________________

He was a better player than Barnes when comparing their freshman seasons. Not even really debatable.

_________________

I have heard the story. Thanks for destroying humor tonight.

_________________

Sure its debatable. Like it has been said before, Barnes is a safe pick. Williams was chosen more for his potential.

fuck that. Jay Bilas has twice now referenced the Jay Bilas Draft Drinking Game. Humor is alive and strong tonight.

Kendall Marshall and Tyler Zeller really NBA starters?

_________________

Damn terrence jones and jared sullingers fucked up tens of millions of dollars by going back to school. Fuck that.

_________________

You don't think Zeller can be a top 30 center? C'mon.

Marshall is tougher to evaluate. I think he can be Andre Miller or a poor man's Marc Jackson. He's gonna need to get the right team, right coach, etc.

Did anyone just hear Van Gundy say, "His last name should be Meyers, and his first name should be Leonard."? Classic.

_________________

That's why I ask about Zeller. I think he'll be somewhere between 27-40 as far as centers go.

Marshall went to phoenix earlier.

Celtics with two 1st rounders back to back

Pick 1 is Jared sullinger.

I really, really hope Moultrie or Wroten Jr fall to us at 29. Those are top 15 talents IMO.

Good fit. Should be able to do a better Big Baby impersonation coming off the bench. Assuming his back is ok.

Jared Sullinger is a better Glen Davis?

_________________

Yeah I think so. At the start of the college season this year he was projected as a top 5 pick. Glen went in the 2nd round right?

If the Celtics draft perry jones as well I will shart myself in shock.

If this isn't the worst draft in the past 20 years its definitely in the conversation.

_________________

Why did the rockets draft 3 guys who are all the same height? All very talented tho.

Actually considered one of the deepest in a long time.
