RJ isn't a bust, he's just not as good as Zion or Ja Morant. Kevin Knox was a bust. RJ will probably finish the season somewhere around 18ppg.

If RJ averages 20/6/3 for the majority of his career on 45/37/80 shooting splits, that's solid for a #3 pick

43/35/75 would make him an average player, unless he could be elite on the defensive end

If his shooting splits are more like 40/30/68, that's a bust

Is he more of a 2nd or 3rd best player on a winning team? Or can he be THE GUY? Can he improve his scoring to 22-25 ppg without sacrificing efficiency?

I really feel like the Lakers would win a title this year if RJ played with Lebron and AD. Knicks would have to LOVE Grimes and Reddish to give up Barrett like that. Barrett might be worth those '27 and '29 Lakers picks though

It doesn’t matter but here’s RJ flirting with the 50/40/90 club the last 4 games

20.8 ppg
5.8 rpg
3.3 apg
0.8 spg
52.5% on 14.8 FGA
43.5% on 5.8 3PA
84.6% on 3.3 FTA

There’s been 9 games

RJ is complete trash. I thought having a good PG would help him, but he is complete trash.

This is how stupid your response was.

You literally quoted indisputable facts and think anything that’s happened since that time, somehow erases that these facts happened.

I didn’t make a prediction.

I didn’t call anyone out.

I literally stated data. He could miss every shot for the rest of his career.

There’s literally nothing you can do about the fact that at that time, the last 4 games he averaged that.

Thx for giving me the opportunity to show again just how stupid America has become.

I sound like a crybaby for correctly pointing you misusing the term “of aging well”?

It’s not my fault you’re somehow didn’t grasp that the term is used for opinions or predictions.

It’s not my fault that you read the literal numerical data I pointed out, which I btw said doesn’t matter, and somehow thought there was an opinion or prediction in there

And instead of realizing you messed up which any little girl could do b/c knowing the meaning on opinion & prediction is handled it grade school, you’re somehow trying to pretend I’m the one who’s in my feelings

Bravo :lol:

After all that you think it’s about the type of calculation? Holy moly. :lol:

It’s not my fault you couldn’t simply say “and how he’s doing since then” which would have made sense.

“You’re soft b/c you correctly pointed out I couldn’t execute a basic burn”

Amazing
