Harrison Barnes more impactful than John Wall
Posted May 12, 2009
Once the John Wall situation reaches its conclusion, expect a whole wave of attention to flood towards the unanimous No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2010: wing Harrison Barnes from out of Ames High School in Iowa. Barnes is considered to be an even greater difference maker than Wall and is said by all those who have watched him play to be an explosive scorer with NBA-level athleticism.
Recruiting analysts rave about his polished fundamentals and competitive mean streak. And they all seem to agree that Barnes’ days of stardom in both college and the NBA are a foregone conclusion.
