Why does RJ suck at the line?
Is he another one of these guys with a phantom shoulder injury, or is it mental?

Not sure but it cost duke greatly and will cost knicks whenever they get competitive again
He gotta learn to shoot it. Could be nerves but he’s pretty alpha

LeBron doesn't really suck at them though. He's something like a career 73% ft shooter. Barrett is below 50% right now. Which is horrible. Especially for a guard/wing.

His atrocious shooting is killing me in fantasy bb, I might have to dump him if he doesn't pick it up.

Turrrrrrrrable
It’s all good he’s a solid player and it’ll develop. Once his shot sinks, his game will blossom

I don't know why you'd have much of any confidence whatsoever that he's definitely going to become some good to great shooter. What are you basing that on? Not that its impossible but its usually 50/50 at best that guys will go from being bad at something to good at it after they start their nba careers.

Re: Why does RJ suck at the line?
Because shooting is his weakness. He was bad at duke too at the FT line but this is WOOF bad . not worried about it though

Because he can't shoot. Don't let the fast start fool you. He couldn't shoot in college either.

Hes actually a much better 3 pt shooter than advertised
His mid range and free throws needs to be worked on but he will be fine

Shooting 37% from 3 and 44% from the FT line. That's like a Bruce Bowen line lmao.

When most Knicks get fouled, I think "yes"
When RJ gets fouled, I think "ah sh*t"

Re: Why does RJ suck at the line?
Shoulders are stuffed because he's a first year player carrying the weight of one of the largest NBA franchises around already
Also might be because he's 20 a far from a finished product. Probably that.
