Manhattan Project wrote:Once we landed the third pick, we all knew it was going to be Barrett. There's a lot to like about his game with a ton of improvement to be had under Fizdale. If Fizdale can get him to finish better at the rim like he has in the past with guys like Conley and Mudiay, he's going to be a very good player in this league.

Happy about this pick, he's going to be a day one contributor for us.


So, do the Knicks send him to Summer League - or to Team Canada and the World Championships, chance to play for Nick Nurse who is coaching Canada? Maybe play it cautious - less injury risk, I suppose, in summer league? But he'd certainly learn more good things, and faster, playing against elite talent.

Also let's be patient with him in his rookie season. I know the 3rd pick in the draft comes with high expectations but please don't expect him to be an All-Star or even a good player right away.

He will make mistakes, commit turnovers, make bad reads and take bad shots. I only ask he plays hard and tries on defense.

last college season, there was a point where this man said Zion might not even be the best player on his team, that RJ was.

Still can't believe The Grizz went with Ja instead of RJ - glad they did because we have the better prospect. I get that they "needed" a pg. But, they also need talent. They aren't a pg away from contending. I'm glad they did because we have the more unique talented player because of it.

It’s sad Steven is blinded by free agency when we have an actual core lol.

Anyone else have the feeling that RJ gonna be on some “You my man 50 grand, so It’s not fu*k you but fu*k you” towards Zion?

I just get that ambition for him to not only be great but to prove to everyone that he’s not a consolation prize.
