2011 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Harrison Barnes
Position: Small Forward
Size: 6-8, 210
School: North Carolina, Freshman
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: Despite struggling with the high expectations casted upon him before he even stepped onto the floor as a Tar Heel, Barnes is still one of the top prospects for the 2011 NBA Draft. He has a complete all-around game on the offensive end and will end up being a special player at the next level.
Player Comparison: Tracy McGrady. Think T-Mac early in his career, and not the washed-up, injury-riddled version we have seen the past couple of years. Barnes has an offensive game similar to McGrady though McGrady was more skilled than Barnes with the ball in his hands early in his career. Barnes can create his own shots, get to the basket, is loaded with potential and is still trying to become a true threat from the perimeter just like McGrady in his early NBA days.
