RJ Barrett shined brightly on Broadway in his sophomore season, improving in all statistical categories, playing with the composure of a 10-year veteran, and looking like a franchise cornerstone who might just be on the precipice of stardom.
Following his rookie campaign, we noted that Barrett was one of only four players in NBA history to average at least 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1 steal during a rookie season in which they were still teenagers, alongside LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Luka Doncic.
This year, Barrett — who only this month became old enough to legally drink alcohol — joined another weirdly specific, yet illustrious, list.
