New York Knicks potential ROY RJ Barrett is playing exceptional basketball on both ends of the court. The 6’7″ 215 lbs. the rookie from Duke hasn’t resembled a rookie. Instead, Barrett looks like a seasoned veteran both physically and mentally on the basketball court.
Scott Perry and Steve Mills drafted Barrett with the intention of making him a cornerstone of the storied New York Knicks franchise. The draft pick is paying off so far this season. Knicks coach David Fizdale has been pounding defense into the rookie every chance he gets. Defensive principles are a priority for the entire team at the moment.
