What weve seen these 1st 10 games is exactly what we were hoping for that RJ Barrett would become. A guy that finally hits high efficiency on his jumper. It chang3s and opens up everything.

Spacing will change dramatically. An RJ that can hit a jumper and even hit a 3 at an above average rate is easily a 22+ ppg scorer. This team still may need that final star but we legitimately have 2 borderline 3 guys that are decent to high efficiency 20+ scorers in Brunson, RJ and Randle potentially now that he is getting past the after effects of the ankle injury last season.

Now guess what? There is a 4th high efficiency guy right on the doorstep of the others potentially in Quickley too.

With Mitch in the middle this team is formidable. They are deep and have the ability to have 3 20+ pt scorers on the same night if they keep the ball movement going as we've seen these past 3 games.

Let's see how tonight goes vs Boston. I don’t love that Boston had yesterday off while we had to play but lets see how it shakes out. This team may be able to play with the top teams. We still probably need one more guy to put us over the top but this team most definitely takes a big step up with the RJ we've seen for team Canada and these 1st 10 games.

I've been jumping on and off RJ's wagon but yes if he can hit jumpers consistently, we can have a Big 3, he can legitimately become an All Star.

Awesome news. Too bad RJ's season long knee issues will get in the way of all this

I was hoping for R 'found a' J in the A Barrett but no cigar

Maybe, maybe not. We shall see.
