Even before the Golden State Warriors drafted Harrison Barnes, I was completely against the idea.
My gripe was that he was an inconsistent player, whose shot selection was questionable (at best), who simply didn't seem to have a clear understanding of who he was.
To be clear, I do think he had some vision of who he wanted to be all along as he frustratingly created shots that seemed to show off the athletic prowess that everyone raved about even as they actually underscored his terribly inefficient decision making. But Barnes biggest problem, in my opinion, was best highlighted in contrast to a prospect like Draymond Green: I always thought that Barnes had a clear vision of what he wanted to be without a clear sense of how to maximize the tools he had, which made him a less-than-fully-actualized player; Green entered the league with a clear sense of who he was, what he could become, and how to maximize the tools he had to be a productive pro.
