NBA notes: Harrison Barnes could fall to Cavs in draft
Posted Apr 1, 2012
The 6-foot-8, 215-pound Harrison Barnes has dipped to No. 8 overall in ESPN draft analyst Chad Ford's rankings. Barnes would look good in a Cavs uniform next year. He has the ability to shoot the long ball, something drastically needed on the Cavs. A big question would be whether Barnes and Cavs point guard Kyrie Irving — a Duke product — would co-exist. Normally, UNC and Duke are like oil and water.
