New York Knicks‘ incoming sophomore RJ Barrett won’t take the All-Rookie Team snub sitting down.
Last year’s third overall pick, Barrett said he would use that as extra motivation coming into the new season.
“It bothered me a lot. I’m not gonna lie,” Barrett told reporters after the first day of training camp.
“It bothered me a lot. I really don’t understand why I wasn’t on it. But you know, it’s a motivation for next season. It’s good to have that extra chip on your shoulder and just prove myself even more,” he added.
