people who were saying this team was going to be improved all summer or that they were really gelling in the practices to start the season? It seems like we've heard a lot about all of these players being much better than last year's team. Phillips was supposed to be an all-star and much improved and Walton was supposed to average 12 PPG. Jackson was supposed to command major minutes and Geist was an upgraded backup. So far almost every production about production and skill that we've heard has been flat out wrong.

At this point I don't know why anyone would believe this to be true based on all the other claims we heard all offseason being false. I guess if you just want to be hopeful then I could buy it. I'm betting best case he is probably good for 3 or 4 additional points a game versus what CVL and Hughes have given us.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Barnett's ability will be a HUGE key to this season. - alwaysright MU - 12/5 21:25:13

I am guessing he will get about 7 ppg - quicksand MU - 12/5 21:44:00

If he only gets 7, things are not going to improve - alwaysright MU - 12/6 07:05:13

Depends how that impacts everyone else's production - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/6 07:59:03

I'm not as optimistic as others about Barnett - KC rules MU - 12/5 20:53:18

I assume he is not better than Puryear - quicksand MU - 12/5 22:03:12

This is probably what's going to happen. - BigSlickTiger MU - 12/5 20:57:17

if true it will give Hughes the help he needs - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/5 18:38:59

He needs to not only be the best player - Eggs MU - 12/5 18:38:05
