You guys are tough defensively with OG, Barnes, Boucher and Siakam when he's on the court. How about a quickie Raptors scouting report?

This has a real chance of sticking

A few more clutch performances, and he'll be our bastion of bing bong. After searching near and far for the proper nickname, this is the most logical choice.

i like broadway barrett too. sounds almost mafioso.

Will RJ show consistency or disappear again watch the next exciting episode of KnickerbockerZ.

Barnes looks like the best player from the draft. He has top 10 player in the league type potential.

If Knicks were ever to win a chip with RJ on the team, I think he'd get that. Feel like it's somewhat reserved for Namath in some fans minds, though they are all getting way old.

I like it.

There's also Broadway Bing Bong Barrett for fans of the long alliteration.

I see a lot of PTSD in here. Hate to use that term but y’all really scared of the Craptors? I’m getting out of control, I ain’t scared of nobody.

no, LaVine was questionable. Doubtful is pretty much not going to play.

Thibs only likes old guys but 4/10 guys in the rotation are on their first contract.

RJ
IQ
Mitch
Obi

I'll take it. Knicks need to bank early wins against that rough stretch later on

As MPHarris pointed out, Kemba providing that extra spacing and scoring punch is huge and has opened the floor for RJ, though of course RJ worked on off the dribble shooting etc in the offseason.

I mean, Fournier probably doesn't add spacing over Bullocks, but certainly adds offensive variety. So, spacing remains, but variety increases a lot.
But Kemba over Elf adds spacing AND offensive competence/variety.

We were playing 4 on 5 with Elf. Huge difference now.

I could provide countless backup of why he was a total disaster for this team. He was awful with the ball in his hands but he was even worse without the ball because his defender could basically play a rover position to cut off drives.

RJ has gotten better but it doesn't take a genius to see when RJ drives there aren't multiple guys standing in the paint because the guys he's playing with are legit shooters.
