After a 1-6 start to the season, the New York Knicks and head coach David Fizdale have already found controversy surrounding the minutes of RJ Barrett.
Barrett has been far and away one of the biggest positives of the season. After mixed reviews coming out of college, and an up and down summer league/pre-season, Barrett has put on a show averaging 18.3 points per game and just over six rebounds per game.
However, after a recent blowout loss to the Sacramento Kings, in which Barrett played 40-plus minutes, coach Fizdale was pressed about his young point guard’s heavy minutes.
