GREENBURGH, N.Y. — RJ Barrett is a man who knows what he likes.
Barrett likes a challenge. He likes playing under pressure. And he loves the idea of calling Madison Square Garden his home court.
“This I the place I want to be,” the star out of Duke told reporters after working out for the Knicks at their practice facility on Monday. “So I hope they draft me.”
The Knicks have the No. 3 pick in next week’s NBA Draft. Barrett is widely projected to be the No. 3 pick, after Duke teammate Zion Williamson and Murray State’s Ja Morant.
