I was a huge believer of him after his amazing U19 run. I thought i saw Manu Ginobili in him, but it looks like he only knows how to play as is he head and shoulders best go on the court, when he faces higher level now where he has teammates and opponents just as good or better than him, his IQ kinda getting exposed, he doesnt know how to play this different role at all.
I actually liked him almost as much as Doncic, but Doncic grew up into his role, when he started he was just a kid trying to make the rotation, then he learned how to be role player, then he learned how to be started, and only then he became a leader. Where from my understanding, RJ was the guy for years in his highschool and thats sometimes the problem with north american prospects.
Should Knicks be concerned about RJ Barrett's Summer League play?

He played well the last 2 games. If he gets a jumpshot and learns to finish with his right hand, then the sky is the limit.

Re: Should Knicks be concerned about RJ Barrett's Summer League play?
It's only the SL so it's very easy to overreact but from the two (2) games I've watched RJ thus far, you're damn right they better be nervous. His play thus far screams "Andrew Wiggins Lite". His shot selection has been terrible and his defense is non-existent. Let's wait to see how he performs when surrounded by NBA level talented team mates. With that said, I think Cam Reddish will end up being the better NBA player when it all shakes out.
