Tariq Sbiet, Canadian national scout, predicts R.J. Barrett to Oregon Ducks

What will be at stake when R.J. Barrett, the No. 1 prospect in the class of 2018, announces his commitment between Duke, Kentucky and Oregon on Friday at 3 p.m. PT on SportsCentre in Canada?

A generational talent who is projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NBA draft.

Once the No. 1 prospect in the 2019 class, Barrett elected to reclassify to 2018 this summer and managed to maintain the top spot among athletes a year older than him.

This week, Canadian national scout Tariq Sbiet told North Pole Hoops he believes the 6-foot-6, 180-pound scorer is an immediate program-altering talent.
