New York Knicks collapse late, but RJ Barrett is the real deal (Highlights)

Win, lose or draw, there were going to be positives for the New York Knicks to take away from the season opener in San Antonio. Most notably, RJ Barrett looks like the real deal.

The 19-year-old rookie is already showing off his ability to finish at the rim. Expect him to be a streaky shooter early in his career, but his slashing will make up for his inconsistent shooting.
