IMO, he's the guy with the clearest path to becoming a star player that was available, though I would have Garland up there too.

There are some concerns about his game. Like any 18/19 year old. What we have to do is hope he can patch some of the holes.

Not gonna lie I was a little down on RJ going into the draft, but the way he's carried himself since is making me a believer. Love the confidence and alpha vibes that I'm getting from him. I hope he can get you guys out of purgatory.

The Knicks should call up OKC and make an offer for Westbrook on this alone. :lol:

he's already the best passer on the team. I'm intrigued to see a line up of Super Mario at the 1, RJ at the 2 and Knox at the 3.

I think with his passing skills, if he can get his percentages up, he can be more like Harden

We have a player with star potential that really wants to be a Knick. RJ is not one of those players that were happy just to be drafted but was happy to actually be drafted by the Knicks. It is in his blood to be a Knick. He grew up watching Knick games with his Grandfather and Father. He said his Grandfather told him he would be a Knick. We don't have a player here that is just saying all the right things but believes in what he says. We have the real deal and he is going to be a huge reason why this team is headed back to respectability. Don't worry about the pressure and expectations about him, he can handle it. Welcome to New York young man, this is going to be your city.

Do Team Canada fans have a popular forum somewhere on the interwebs? Or is it usually just a thread on Raptors forums?

Would love to get extra film of RJ against grown men other than Summer league so I hope he plays for Canada in World Cup Qualifying.
