Who would you take in this scenario? Why?

Would have to pick between Barnes, Robinson and Lamb. Need to see more before I would make the pick, but those are likely the 3 I would consider.

Barnes atm he looks to be coming into his own as of late

I've noticed more driving and finishing (at the rim) in his HIGHLIGHTS lately, for what it is worth. Has that been a factor?

A nice balanced arsenal of scoring by Barnes here:

Obviously he's not on Kobe's level. But to me his movements are similar to Kobe's. Probably a little bulkier and less explosive than a young Kobe.

Ive had night mayers of Barnes being the next MJ . And us taking A Davis picking first . That would be our luck.

I know that as a near consensus Perry Jones has dropped, but do you think we should give him some consideration? He seems like a guy that could play very nicely with Kemba and Henderson. He seems like he could also compliment BB.

I know he hasn't lived up to hype, but I've read part of that might be the system and players he's been with. Then again, is he Diaw 2?

Definitely a factor. He's been settling for fewer faders and getting to the rim more. For sure helping his numbers and offensive game in general. Has been showing freaky body control when finishing, getting fouls and still finishing. Definite improvement.

For me, Sullinger is a "wait to see the measurements" player. We know he has skills, and we know he is a below-the-rim guy. But flat-footed positioning is a big part of the interior game, whether one can leap or not. If he turns up with a 7-foot-or-more wingspan and a decent standing reach (8'10"? 8'11"?), I'm much more comfortable taking him.

I had similar concerns about Kevin Love, Tyler Hansbrough, and DeJuan Blair while they were college stars. Their combine measurements eased my worry a bit.

Jerry Lamb: I don't claim to be an nba scout. But I've noticed his outside shooting release point is sometimes a little low when he doesn't get lift off of the floor. ("Elbow-out" shooting) That's the only negative I can pick up on so far, based on seeing some footage.

After watching more of Barnes lately I say you take him regardless or where you pick. He reminds me a lot of how Kevin Durant plays.

I did a bit of research and found that he is compared to Luol Deng. So I found this website pretty interesting that you can compare players stat's when they were in college. Make judgements for yourself
