I dont hate barrett for the record.
He was just very erratic in college and his game reminded me of tim hardaways.
I feel like we were better off using to the pick in a trade to get one an allstar or something.

But now that he's here, i gotta roll with it. shyt, i gave andrea bargnani a fair chance (lasted about 2 weeks) so young boy is gonna get one too

Salute to the homie:salute:
fam, barret plays literally the opposite of tim
we were begging tim to attack the rim, draw fouls and to do things other than shoot 3s.
rj is much more of a rounded player...his first option is to get to the rim, get to the line. he has a motor to get boards....and he's naturally a better facilitator even with him having a scoring focus.
rj is already taller than tim, and shyt....at 19 he might already be stronger than him despite being damn near a decade younger than him.
the potential is there...its up to the staff to see it through.

I saw a lot of :youngsabo: in RJs game watching Duke all season, tunnel vision to the max.


Doesn't mean that can't change or improve but it's why some of the Wiggins comps I saw made no sense (other than both being Canadian). RJ never got passive or apathetic and disappeared like weedplate at KU, he went too hard and did too much.

timmy had a strict leash in atlanta...he wasnt getting no minutes unless he was productive.
but you can't pay him 18 million a year just to have him gimped.....you gotta try to trust him with responsibility and he failed more often than not.
rj has an alpha dog mentality, while irrational at times...for his talent level......it's the confidence required to be an elite player. he just has to put in the work.

RJ is my ROY. Don't think he's gonna be that good overall for like his career or whatever but as a rookie I can see him putting up volume stats...plus the large market boost should be enough. This all changes if yall get a premier FA though.
