Thread: HB

**FloridaClone** · 12-03-2008, 08:26 AM

I've been reading lot of about HB over the past months about how great he is, and is going to be. Recently I've read on here that he would be a superstar at Duke, KU and so on.... Can anyone tell me which player he will be like from these powerhouses or any team for that matter? Being from Florida, all I know is what I read on here. Example - will he be a mario chalmers?

Worst thread title ever.

**Lenny25** · 12-03-2008, 08:29 AM

Very similar to Greg Ostertag.

**FloridaClone** · 12-03-2008, 08:30 AM

Really? Nothing better to do today?

You really should just search the threads on the board for HB. You'll find all the discussions you could ever want.

Welcome to the board. I'm sure you honestly wanted information on HB but he has been discussed sooooooooo much over the past two years here that no one really wants to bring him up anymore.

Very similar as in really no real similarities at all? Heard on KXNO this morning that both Bill Self and Johnny Dawkins were at the Ames game last night. I wonder if they saw a little bit of Ostertag in him.

wow... you guys sure know how to make a newcomer feel welcome.

We're just kidding ya big galoot.

To answer your question real quick so you don't have to read all of the threads posted about him. Barnes is a silky smooth player with great outside touch. Chalmers would be a pretty close comparison but I think Harrison has a lot more to offer than Chalmers did at this age.

You know, I'd say his athletic abilities are close to Rashon Clarks. His athletic abilities. Not much more than that. His shooting, ball handling, and vision is what seperates him from Clark. He is fast and jump like Clark though. I'm not sure about his defense. That is the one thing that no one really talks about.

It's snowing, people are grumpy.

Harrison is a very unique athlete, with amazing athleticism. He is great at slashing and putting up a shot. His most underated aspect is his defense. He lacks a consistent 3 ball, but has a decent looking shot. He can jump through the roooooooof!

It is really hard to judge when going to his high school games b/c his team/coach play a slow tempo style of game, and it takes away from his true ability.

If I had to compare him to any former player at this point in his young career I'd say Kareem Rush... just my opinion

It's not listed in the TOA, but thick skin is certainly encouraged.

He will be the prototypical two guard in the pros. About 6-7, smooth ball handler for his age, great hops, good vision, good passer, silky smooth touch on his shot, can take it to the rim, team player.

Probably a very athletic wing (3) in college.
