The New York Knicks were the “favorites” to win the NBA Summer League and after three games the team has yet to win a game and although it’s just Summer League, the fans in the Big Apple are beginning to grow restless.
However, on Tuesday night the No. 3 overall pick of the Orange and Blue notched his first NBA double-double at Summer League.
R.J. Barrett scored 17 points and grabbed ten rebounds against the Toronto Raptors in addition to six rebounds and three blocks with only one turnover in 28 minutes of action.
Barrett’s 17 points were a team high on the evening but not enough to carry the Knicks over the Raptors as Toronto came away with a 85-73 victory.
