RJ Barrett may not have star production, but he sure possesses star confidence. Talking to reporters in Chicago at All-Star Weekend, the New York Knicks first-year player had plenty to say when asked about the Rookie of the Year Award.
“A lot of people deserve [Rookie of the Year], a lot of people work hard for it,” Barrett said, per Marc Berman of the New York Post. “I don’t know. It’s kind of hard not to vote for myself.”
Barrett is averaging 13.6 points per game on 38.8% shooting.
