cam will also be more efficient than RJ
Only canadians and knick fans will think RJ is better than Cam by the end of the season. RJ shoulda stepped up and beat the overachieving Hawks when Randle struggled in the postseason.

this is hilariously not true
every metric, analytic and scout has RJ pegged as a much better player moving forward
Here's an indepth dive to every under 25 player in the league The Best Young Cores in the NBA
Cam has a WAR projection of 10 over the next 5 years and after RJs massive leap forward last year he has a WAR projection of 24
they're not in the same league as prospects right now. Nobody outside bias Hawks fans would even bother to make the comparison

because scouts are always right huh? You’re talking prospects and projections and I’m talking to you about what happened in an actual game a couple nights ago.
You said RJ had a legendary game compared to Cam and I’m asking you how when he didn’t outscore Cam and was way less efficient.
“RJ played great defense on Tatum”
Cam played great defense as well
“RJ hit big shots”
Hawks started blowing out the Mavs when Cam checked in.
So again…What was so legendary about RJ’s performance compared to Cam’s?

rj barret is only 21 and avg 18 points shooting 44% from the floor and 40% from three last year for a guy who "couldn't shoot" coming out of college
cam reddish is older and has never even shot over 40% in any nba season
Not too mention, RJ played well last year despite Julius getting all the touches. RJ rarely getting 20 shots in a game.
If the Knicks trade RJ and picks for Dame, trust and believe folks will start bigging up Barrett.
Who did Cam defend last game? Because last time I checked Deandre Hunter was the one guarding Luka.

You just said no one but Knicks fans and Canadians think RJ will be better. I showed you how the general consensus is massively skewed in the other direction.
They're in the same class, have played in all the same tournaments coming up, played on the same team in college and RJ has always significantly outperformed him. RJ demolished him in their biggest one on one battle ever.
Since they've been in the NBA RJ has been better. RJ took a huge leap forward on both sides of the court to widen that gap even farther last year.
There isn't in an argument in terms of past production or future projections for Cam over RJ at this point.
But you wanna circle back to game one of this season. Ok
Cam didn't play well in the 1st half and got going after the game was already decided. The Hawks win that game with or without Cam. Hunter was the difference defensively, not Cam.
You shrug off RJ locking down one of the best players in the league and Making huge shots in a double overtime win between 2 marquee teams
It was a huge game and RJ had an incredible performance. Cam played well in the 2nd half of a blowout
I get that you're a Hawks fans and like Cam, and I even think he has potential to be good too, but like I said, at this point there's not anything that indicates he's near the same level of player RJ is now or anything that puts him in the same type of projection for the future as RJ yet
You're free to be a fan of your guy, but atleast be honest and objective

Hunter was locking everybody up yesterday. I saw a stat on twitter that said the Mavs were like 1 for 9 in iso situations against Hunter yesterday.
He looks like he's gonna be a monster if he can stay healthy this year

Go back to my initial post where i quoted you. I quoted where you said RJ had a legendary game, then when I called you out and said 6-11 and 19 5 and 2 ain’t legendary… you said well to be fair that’s legendary to Cam. When I mentioned Cam scored more and had a way more efficient game than RJ you went ghost and never responded to that.You just said no one but Knicks fans and Canadians think RJ will be better. I showed you how the general consensus is massively skewed in the other direction.

@TradePascalSiakam said something about Cam shooting 37% to finish this season. I said Cam will be better by the end of the year and only knick and canadians will think otherwise.
You then jumped in that conversation and started talking about projections and prospects which had nothing to do with anything. I never said Cam was projected to be better or that scouts rate him higher. I simply said Cam will be better at the end of the year.
So since you wanted to skip the point i made about RJs “legendary game”. I again brought that up. I don’t care about college games, who was #2 behind Zion or scouts take. I’m simply calling you out on this “legendary game” take that you have.
You want to talk about being “honest” and “objective” when you are in every Hawks Thread complaining about Trae or something. The objective take is that he already owned y’all last year in the playoffs and RJ didn’t do/couldn’t do anything about it.
edit: and Tatum is not Top 5 or Top 10. You gassing

Cam guarded multiple positions. And there were multiple possessions where he was on Luka.
This is my first time hearing someone had a “legendary game” because he had a good defensive night on a streaky scorer.

You keep sticking to this "legendary" thing, when I said borderline legendary and immediately walked it back the next post
You have zero argument beside "I'm a Hawks fans and I heart Cam"

you mad at me for using your words against you? you still said legendary for cam and I asked how and you started juelzing something about defense against a top NBA player like he’s Durant or something
I actually used statistics from the games and you talking about projections
