He has hit Mitch for multiple alley oops

What a bust.

Word of advice to all...

If you are going to be quick triggered with the "bust" comments, make sure your aim is accurate. Cause when it's not you're going to come off as a :clown:

He is a bust -- as in, RJ will bust your ass.

What is RJ Barrett’s vertical leap?

I’m glad he is playing better but he moves like he has concrete shoes on. As long as it is effective I guess.

RJ doesn't have a vertical leap, he actually can't even lift his feet & has to shuffle over to anywhere he wants to go.

Since this is the rj thread for now i'll post this article here. https://theknickswall.com/could-untethering-julius-randle-from-rj-barrett-unlock-guards-offense/ Dont know if i agree with the premise but still something to consider

I'd like to see RJ & Julius staggered a bit because I think Quickley needs a second playmaker out there with him for the offense to reliably hum even when he's not on fire.

It's going to be tough cause other than about 4 or 5 minutes a game both guys are always on the floor. :lol:

But yeah Thibs should just make sure that one or the other is always on the floor and that he maybe ratchet down each guys minutes by a 3 or 4 minutes a game.

Co-signed. I’m still hoping for a few minutes of

IQ
RJB
Knox
Obi
Mitch

That's what I'd like to see. Let RJ be the first sub for Burks if Julius is going and RJ isn't carrying us, so that he can come back on when Julius subs out for Obi. Burks & Bullock can give Julius a little more room to operate despite Elf's man being free to hang out in the paint...especially if IQ subbing in for Elf was the next change.

That's the dream, but I wouldn't complain about getting regular doses of:

IQ
Burks/Bullock
RJ
Obi
Noel

I just wanna get a feel for what IQ, RJ & Obi look like together, even if it's alongside a veteran rim-protector instead of Mitch and a veteran shooter instead of Kevin.

RJ's pedigree tells you he will an efficient 20ppg scorer in this league. A burning passion for the game and relentless hard work will always yield results in due time.

This thread is gonna need a lot more than this by the end of this season

Remake the thread for Toppin, and the answer is yes.

The way RJ shot from range today was encouraging to say the least. Followed through with his stroke, no hesitation and the ball was going through with nothing but net - all the way out to the 3pt point line.
