A significant part of the New York Knicks‘ future rests on the shoulders of RJ Barrett. The lefty wing is coming into New York with a lot of hype and his former teammate, Zion Williamson, believes he’s going to deliver.
“(Knicks fans) can expect that they’re getting a killer,” Zion Williamson said via Ian Begley of SNY. “For the people that are trying to look down on him, RJ’s been through worse. He knows how to battle through it and he’s going to bring the city everything he’s got.”
Williamson is likely referencing some of the criticism Barrett received for his up-and-down play in the Las Vegas Summer League.
