" No Cat shooting the most out of the top 19 ACC scorers does NOT imply that he should pass the ball more. Thats just a bad assumption on your part because none of the other top scorers are on his team. "

LOL you still didn't answer the question. You said Cat shoots a lot, so what should he do genius?

^ 1st rule

Man Cat is so fun to watch. Even when we do lose. He makes it somewhat tolerable.

He's also shown a tremendous amount of class as well. His demeanor never changes and he always plays hard. Very proud to have him represent the program.

What do you mean what should he do? Of course he should shoot a lot. I didn't say he wasn't doing what he should be doing so I'm confused at what you want me to answer

2/1/2016 11:37:22 PM

Thats funny, I don't understand why you mention that he has one of the lowest fg% among the leading scorers in the ACC on an appreciation thread. As again, when 3/4 of the team is sucking ass this is what you decide to nitpick on? Flabbergasted.

2/1/2016 11:53:19 PM

Its just kinda misleading when people say, "he's 8th in the nation in scoring, he should be in the hunt for all of the awards". It doesn't mean he's doing anything wrong. It just means his ppg are inflated by being on our team.

If Cat played football, mamba wouldn't be Kobeing him

2/1/2016 11:58:41 PM

Apparently there is chatter that Cat said he will come back if he's not a guaranteed first rounder.

This whole year it's been..."Cat is gone regardless." This is the first time something different has come out.

First things first...if he continues this play, he's going to be a first rounder.

Second...if he were to stay...that would be the exact opposite of NC State Shit.

Third...if he were to stay...DSJ would probably transfer or both would get in a car accident to fulfill our 30+ year long curse.

2/2/2016 1:34:37 PM

cat's fg% isnt great but he draws a lot of fouls and converts hits FTs (unlike everyone else on the roster)

soooo

maybe not ACC POY but also still really fucking good

2/2/2016 2:41:38 PM

2/2/2016 2:44:38 PM

Cat is stealing shots from other players who should be taking them, like Henderson, Lacey, and Warren.

2/2/2016 3:36:37 PM

If Cat would just pass it to Brackman more often we would be undefeated

2/2/2016 3:47:46 PM

i feel like gavin grant should be starting at PG over cat.

2/2/2016 3:49:30 PM

If he stays the real nc state shit would be that

1. we continue to suck on defense so it doesn't really make us great
2. dsj and cat don't get along
3. someone fucks abus girl
4. referees cost us a few games directly
5. let some random guy go off for 20 to put us out of the tournament

THATS ncstate shit.

2/2/2016 4:30:24 PM

Too lazy to look it up, but what are Cat's splits on his shooting non-ACC vs ACC. It feels like he has been shooting much better lately although he had a bad game or two.

I really hope Cat stays and he and DSJ gel. We deserve a great team for once.

2/2/2016 9:35:50 PM

38.7 minutes per game and only 2.4 turnovers per game. His assist:turnover isn't great but 2.4 turnovers considering how much he has the ball is damn impressive.

2/2/2016 9:42:12 PM

He'd have a ton more assists if he wasnt throwing it to big men with stone hands that cant hit 2ft shots consistently.

2/2/2016 10:34:51 PM

his conference stats are

41.3% 3PT 45.1% FG, 91.5% FT, 23.9 PPG

2/3/2016 7:38:31 AM

I had a dream last night that I was at a meaningless game this season and Gottfried decided to put DSJ in the game. The fans in PNC started booing and throwing water bottles at Gott on the bench

That is all, thanks for reading

2/3/2016 8:41:36 AM

i would probably boo that decision, because it would mean wasting a year of eligibility on a guy who shouldn't be playing competitive basketball right now.

2/3/2016 9:29:11 AM

The NBA declaration deadline was extended right? I think it's after the NBA draft combine now, but idk if that's official. I would assume Cat would take full advantage of the evaluation process while maintaining eligibility.

2/3/2016 10:09:29 AM

Yeah, if there's something we need to be worried about with Dennis Smith it's exhausting his years of eligibility

2/3/2016 11:12:32 AM

Lol yeah we ain't worried about burning a year of eligibility with DSJ. He's not staying 4 years anyways.

But I did lol at that dream

2/3/2016 11:38:17 AM

You're right, he'll probably transfer.

2/3/2016 1:51:43 PM

Cat is the front-page story on NBADraft.com. GG Cat

"Anthony Barber, better known as 'Cat', has gone from NBA Draft afterthought, to one of the fastest rising prospects in the country. The 6'2 junior from Newport News, Virginia has been on a tear this season and is turning the heads of scouts each time he steps foot on the floor."

[Edited on February 3, 2016 at 2:16 PM. Reason : All this praise, and he's still a 2nd round pick in their mock draft]

2/3/2016 2:16:21 PM

But fuck this mention:

Quote :

"But Barber's career hasn't always been fairy tales and rainbows. During his recruitment, there were rumors that the five star guard had stolen things from current players during his official visit to Louisville. Those accusations never gained any traction and nothing ever came out of them, but the damage was done to his reputation. Certain schools began backing off of their recruitment of the lightning quick lead guard and he ultimately chose to make his way to Raleigh to 'run with the pack'."

2/3/2016 2:30:47 PM

"those accusations seem baseless at this point but let's mention it anyways"

2/3/2016 3:29:03 PM

Thug Barber

2/3/2016 3:33:15 PM

cat burglar

2/3/2016 3:49:17 PM

also...the way that's worded makes it sound like no school wanted him anymore and he settled for nc state since we're the only one that didn't shun him after that incident. which isn't really how it went down, iirc.

Thanks for posting that. Cat needs to shoot more 3s.

2/3/2016 4:26:44 PM

What if Gottfried pulled a frank Underwood and started those rumors to shorten cat's offer list

2/3/2016 5:44:32 PM

Then hopefully he would have done it more often and we'd be better..

2/3/2016 8:11:40 PM

cool, we have a teacher named Cat Warren... combo of probably our last 2 ACC POY

Cat in the first round of NBADraft.net's latest mock (last pick in the round, but still ... he'd be great on Golden State);

http://www.nbadraft.net/2016mock_draft

2/12/2016 11:10:19 AM

hey, remember when marcus paige should have gone pro? lol.

2/12/2016 11:13:29 AM

Paige joins Barnes and McAdoo as UNC guys that should have gone pro sooner and only hurt their draft status by staying longer. Granted Barnes was still a top-10 pick, but he could have been top-5 if he left after his freshman season.

2/12/2016 12:38:17 PM

i forgot about McAdoo...he was like a top 10 projected pick after his freshman year.

2/12/2016 12:55:54 PM

Barnes was a bad example to choose considering he's developed into a key role on arguably the greatest team ever.

2/12/2016 5:46:15 PM

^ yeah he got lucky as fuck to be picked by a team that would eventually have three All-Stars, best shooting backcourt in history and an amazing coach. He still should have gone pro and been a top-5 pick in 2011 instead of "slipping" to #7 after a disappointing sophomore season at UNC.

Yes he is important to the GSW, but dude was compared to Jordan and LeBron coming out of HS. Now he is a role player. If he played on the Portland, no one would give two shits about him.

Hmm so the longer you stay at UNC, the lower your draft stock is.. Maybe recruits will figure that out

2/12/2016 6:27:42 PM

and longer, more successful career
