GREENBURGH, N.Y. — RJ Barrett knows how to fight through a rough start.
Last season, he overcame a horrible shooting slump — at one point he had missed 21 straight three-point attempts — and ended up having a breakout year.
Knicks fans can only hope that will happen again this season as Barrett once again isn't knocking down shots as much as he would like. In three games, he’s averaged 12.7 points while making just 38.9% of his shots and shooting 21.1% from three-point range. Sunday night’s loss to Orlando was his biggest clunker as he went 5-for-17, including 1-for-7 from beyond the arc.
