R.J. Barrett has been the consensus top high school prospect even before the 2018 NBA Draft. That’s what being Canadian basketball royalty gets you. His father, Rowan Barrett, is one of Canada basketball’s most important figures, and his godfather is some cat called Steve Nash.
Teaming up with fellow elite prospects in Zion Williamson and Cam Reddish, Barrett enrolled with Duke and formed one of college basketball’s “superteams”.
Looking at his basic numbers: 23.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, Barrett is seemingly doing a solid job. He’s leading Duke to wins, and the #2 ranking on the AP leaderboard.
