Youre right about him about an anti knox: but for the wrong reasons.
Rj was bred for basketball, groomed and schooled from birth to become a successful nba player.

Kevin knox was a football player until he was 15/16 untill he grew a foot and outgrew the sport. Imagine you playing bbal 3 years and now youre in the nba. He looked like a deer in headlights alot, its not because he doesnt care, its because he is new to the sport.

Dont know how good or bad knox will be, but its foolish to give a young rookie with so little bball experience the "dont care " lable.

from a mentally standpoint RJ to me has the best chance in this draft class of becoming a perennial all star...
and I think thats why you dont see resistance...most fans feel deep down that we did well with him - even if you have issues with part of his game...

The one thing I like about RJ already is how much he's embracing playing in NY.

He just needs to improve that jumper, especially from the FT line. Once he does that, watch out.


Kahwi is not anywhere close to being the quickest guy on the floor. He's almost slow by comparison to half of the talent in the NBA. That's why I discounted comments about RJ not being a quick player. He seems to have most of the fundamentals and mindset to impose himself on many players. Add in guile and cunning to a player like that and they probably can be a top scorer.

It happens like that a lot. MJ's draft always comes to mind in instances like this. Hoping you're right.

I don't think there is much that can limit Zion. He looks like he could be unstoppable. But I've never seem a full sized linebacker play at the highest level in the NBA so it is probably does come down to whether or not Zion can stay healthy.

But even if both excel, RJ might be on track to becoming the more well-rounded player.

That and how calm, cool and collected he seemed under the spotlight. Bodes well.
