The New York Knicks are missing out on Zion Williamson and Ja Morant in the draft. However, they might be able to draft a younger version of James Harden. RJ Barrett has drawn recent comparisons to the MVP candidate.
ESPN analyst Jay Bilas thinks highly of Barrett and believes he is going to develop in a stud at the next level. The Duke alum praised Barrett’s play during his freshman year and offered up the Harden comparison to make Knicks fans salivate.
“He’s legit,’’ Bilas told Marc Berman of the New York Post in a phone interview.
