One team source said Perry Jones is in the race, but he’s not a front runner. Another Warriors source rated the Baylor sophomore above Terrence Jones, though the Warriors’ camp likes the Kentucky star. But both are at risk of being trumped by future prospects. Ohio State power forward Jared Sullinger is scheduled to come in. Golden State is still hoping to workout North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes, who is projected to be a better SF at the NBA level.

But Barnes is an interesting figure, as he’s been described with an upside somewhere between Luol Deng and Glen Rice. There’s a potential scenario in which the Bulls could trade Deng for a top five pick to select Barnes, or if he is taken, Florida shooting guard Bradley Beal. The Bulls would have a potential young star to develop with Derrick Rose upon his return and then enough money with Deng traded to get a point guard to play much of next season for Rose, someone like Jason Kidd, Kirk Hinrich, Andre Miller, Steve Nash or Ray Felton.

The Wizards haven’t scheduled a workout with Barnes yet, but he met with them in Chicago and said he expects to come to Washington at some point. If the Wizards pass on him, Barnes is expected to land in Cleveland, where he would be paired with his good friend, Kyrie Irving. Barnes deflected rumors that the Cavaliers desperately wanted him.

Most of the top prospects did not participate in drills at the NBA combine, but Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said the team was able to get some much-needed information during their meet-and-greet sessions with the players. They met with Robinson, Beal, Kidd-Gilchrist, North Carolina players Harrison Barnes, John Henson, Tyler Zeller and Kendall Marshall, Andre Drummond and Jeremy Lamb from Connecticut, Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger, Washington guard Terence Ross, Duke guard Austin Rivers, Mississippi State forward Arnett Moultrie, Illinois center Meyers Leonard and Vanderbilt guard John Jenkins, among others.

"It was good," Barnes said Friday. "Coach (Tom) Thibodeau was there and we just kind of talked about where their team was, where they saw themselves going, and the personality traits I have are similar to what they want to keep on that team." Chicago Tribune

The Bulls own the 29th pick this year, so any chance to select Barnes would necessitate a trade. That Barnes plays the same position as Luol Deng raises eyebrows, particularly in an offseason during which Deng has said he will play in the London Olympics with a torn ligament in his left wrist.
