It’s time for the world to start putting some respect on RJ Barrett‘s name. The second-year wing is the most overlooked player outside of New York City right now. He’s becoming a bonafide second star for the New York Knicks.
Still, he’s consistently underappreciated on the national stage and that needs to change. It goes back to his rookie season when he was snubbed from the NBA’s All-Rookie team in favor of guys like Terence Davis (averaging 7.3 points per game this season).
Barrett, 20, entered this season with hopes of proving his doubters wrong.
