Anyone get Jimmy Butler vibes when it comes to RJ Barrett?

As for RJ comps, I still like Danny Granger.

Makes sense for his potential as a scorer, but I feel like RJ's a better defender and has better vision; which would enable him to be much more of a playmaker than Granger was...if he ever becomes dangerous enough of the dribble to have the kind of gravity that Granger did.

More important question Knick fans, this is his 3rd years, you're maxing him out or what?

I dont think he'd get the max at this point but knowing that by the time his extension kicks in, the cap could very well be north of 170 million dollars, I could see us agreeing to a deal that may appear to be an overpay.

If I had to compare RJ to a guy right now, I think that Jaylen Brown is the closest to where I see his trajectory being. RJ's efficiency isn't quite there, but he's still really young and Brown didn't really find his way till his age 24 season (4th year in the league). I think the skillset and the demeanor are similar in both players honestly. RJ is 21 right now.

He's gonna be the first rookie contract we've extended since Charlie Ward (23 yrs)
