Barbosa is the real deal

[Blunt91]

This kid will be the pointguard of the future for the Suns when Nash leaves. He can dribble, defend and shoot the 3pointer. The Suns really got a steal by drafting him. I will even go as far to say he will be better than Tony Parker because he is already a better shooter than Parker.

haha, real funny, last year, round draft time, I pronounced him SOD (steal of the draft).

I am the smartest man alive.

everything JT was supposed to be.

Before you give him too much credit... When Diaw started backing him down, you saw his weakness. He can't defend the post up. Guys like Baron Davis/Dwayne Wade/and even Stephon Marbury will be licking their chops to get this guy in the nut cracker.

[Blunt91]

Yeah he is rather frail and needs to add muscle.

[Diesel]

Diaw could have fouled Barbosa out in 5 minutes... BUT... He's not aggressive enough. Everytime Diaw has a size advantage, he should take the guy to the post.

[Wretch]

I didn't think he'd be the steal of the draft, but I thought he was a HUGE sleeper. I really wanted us to pick him up, but I'm happy with Boris. I think Diaw will be the better player IF he will just attack the basket.

Boris has great court vision and makes great passes. Learning to attack the basket will open up his game TREMENDOUSLY.
