It’s one game

Yes.


Yes they should.

To me the shooting isn’t s huge deal. The turnovers are a much bigger concern. He wasn’t asked to carry the offense at Duke and looks to be having trouble doing so efficiently.

It's two games.

Wait to see how Summer league goes. We all know that guys can have big numbers in summer league and be crap in real life, but I'm not sure it happens much the other way around. The competition he's facing now is nothing compared to what he'll see in the L. If he can't play well now, it's a bad sign.

Trey Young started slow in SL last year but was cooking by the end. If RJ does that, he could still be fine.

Two actually.

But no they shouldn't. Anything with summer league means literally nothing.

Knox was great last year and it didn't translate so way too early to care.

It's summer league, but they should be concerned about it because he had similar struggles in college. He shot 30.8% from 3 and 66.5% from the free throw line in college. The guy can't shoot.

It's SL. Guys show out that will never pan out, and stars can stumble and go on to be great.

It's summer league, so the performance shouldn't matter all that much.

Are you thinking two summer league games are enough to get a real concern over?

I'm seriously not expecting much out of Barrett tbh except to be a volume shooter and a good passer.
The Dunc'd On podcast before the draft covered alot of his issues.

Ehh, it's not really.

Everyone could see the painting on the wall for a long time even from the Duke days.

He's a more athletic Evan Turner.

I think there's a difference between looking great in summer league and it not translating to the league, and playing like crap in summer league but becoming good in the league. If you brought in people who didn't know his name and didn't know where he was drafted to watch him play, would they think he's an NBA quality player?

Good. Get all the bad games out the way now

it's been literally a game and a half, for **** sake, in which RJ hasn't even played competitive and has been on a media tour essentially for months...

wtf are we even doing?

I wouldn’t be concerned until the all star break to evaluate. Too many players look good in summer league because they are playing EXTRA hard to get a contract or more ply time. Meanwhile lottery picks come in coasting trying not to get injured before the season.

Nope. Keep letting that thang fly Barrett.

Isn't this who he was in college?

I was really surprised the suns beat RJ and the Knicks... considering none of our rotation players or drafted rookies played.

His jumper isn’t broken like you know who’s.

He’ll be fine with more reps.
