So yeah we should probably apologize to RJ.
Offense has kinda fallen apart without him. Can't even score 100 without him.

We're an offensive juggernaut with RJ he draws attention, he cuts and hits the three. Those skills are valuable to any winning team.

110 and 99 points in the two games without RJ, pretty nuts he takes our team to 120 points

I would probably be even more concerned for when we play games without Ingram to bail us out.
Not sure how many games we are winning if both Ingram and RJ are out.

Re: Official RJ Barrett Thread Part 2
And people wanted everyone and their mama starting over RJ. That never made sense to me and I’m glad RJ has proven me right. Shooting isn’t the only way to elevate an offence. Especially on a team that needs rim pressure just as much as it needs shooting. Oh and RJ shoots it just fine on catch and shooter 3s. His defence isn’t good, but his offence is helping us way more than his defence is hurting us

People are kind of obsessed with getting a 3&D guy in the starting lineup but I've been saying for this team specifically, that player should be "added" to the rotation rather than just replacing RJ. This offense seems to work best with at least 4 really good offensive players out there at once which makes them hard to defend. Small sample size without RJ, but hard not to notice how much this team is struggling to generate easy baskets. Gravity is created not just from being able to shoot from the outside extremely well.
