This kid is corner stone player, I’ll stand by RJ
He may never be better than Randle and an all star birth would heavily weigh on team record .

If Knicks pushing for a 4th seed and he playing good he’ll be in the mix. Otherwise Zach LaVine averaged 23.7 ppg and 25.5 ppg on good efficiency and still didn’t make all star .

The bar is kinda high it’s reliant on team success which isn’t looking that optimistic right now .

He can kinda get up, he isnt fast nor is he slow and he is big but lacks awareness sometimes. I like that he doesn't expend energy chucking but he really play defense or make plays. He can kinda shot but not really, he is perplexing.

End of the day, I think he gets to point were he becomes a great 3rd option with glaring holes in his game kind, kinda like a Derozan.


Derozan made several all star teams.

I think with some extra effort, RJ can absolutely get to Evan Turner levels.

Evan Turner once scored 38 points.

Bet you don't know who against.

The Knicks.

Time is a flat circle.

I'll be fair

I wanted Garland over RJ

However, there are no stars who were drafted after RJ so honestly, did we screw up this pick?

That year I wanted Hunter, Garland, or...Nassir Little :lol:

So glad the FO didn't put as much weight on his selfish play early in his freshman year, as I did.

I think the big issue was landing the #3 pick in a 2 player draft. I wouldn't bag on the Knicks for taking Barrett.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Not if people make calls on him. Not if an organization is doing their homework and knows all the things he brings with him.

People often mistake Karma for being "what goes around, comes around"

In actuality, Karma is only counted at the end of your life, determining your station in the next life. If you do something sh*tty in this life, you won't be punished in this life, but the next one

However, y'all are making me think karma does exist the way pop culture seems to think it does. Cause if karma is what goes around comes around, then y'all deserve the Knicks as they are.
