The New York Knicks have ample time to locate a third star to align with Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson for the upcoming 2023-24 season. However, their decision hinges on whether they anticipate a significant improvement in RJ Barrett’s performance.
Barrett, the 23-year-old guard, is undeniably a promising talent but his stats took a dip last year, with averages of 19.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and a .434 field goal percentage. If the Knicks are considering a strategic shift and planning to unload his contract, Toronto Raptors’ OG Anunoby could be an ideal replacement given his defensive skills and scoring abilities.
