oof that's not good for Coby. His main appeal, for me, was his size and potential switch-ability on D.

The only thing I don't like about RJ is that he doesn't really seem to go right very much at all. At this stage of his game shouldn't he be able to use either hand pretty effortlessly going to the rim? Maybe he can and just doesn't need to?

So Nash is saying he didn't watch a single Duke game all year?


Or that others were influenced by narratives that may have not been fully true or were somewhat deceiving?

Barrett's issues have been and always were shot selection related and not the ACTUAL passes and reads he can make. When focusing more on being a distributor he can make pretty much every read necessary to be a competent ball handler as a wing. He just doesn't always make the right decision consistently on when to actually pass or take the shot... That will have to be cleaned up at the next level but it's easier to clean that up then it is to clean up other stuff.

Lol “makes every read/pass” come on Steve. He’s a decent passer but not for his usage. Barrett is the guy that decides whether he’s passing or trying to score, the greats read and react and take what the defense gives them. Kid has tunnel vision.

It's funny, if we were at #3 before the lotto we would be going crazy because we're getting RJ

Bro, if we had those Atlanta picks and someone suggested moving up to 3 with them we’d get laughed at. Why would you want to move down? We’re in a good spot, and have a **** ton of youth to develop as it is.
