He’s a mixture of DeMar DeRozan and Rodney Hood, all these other comparisons are trash.

Crafty lefty with a strong body, long strides, solid athleticism, a nice eurostep, good rebounder, P&R orchestrator, solid shot creator, decent outside jumper but streaky, attacks the glass, has solid defensive potential

Really looking forward to him and Knox develop. In a few years those guys are going to fill out nicely they have nice sturdy frames and compliment each other well.

after all these years, people still haven't learned their lesson that the top 3 drafted players almost never turn out to be the best players in the draft class down the line.

I promise you that a few of the lower drafted players 6-28 would go on to be better nba nba players than him and morant

Its a crap shoot. I just looked at the 2010-2015 drafts and 3/6 times the best player was in the top 3.

Regardless, I think RJ is going to be good. I think he’s going to put up some great all-around seasons eventually like 23/7/7-type seasons.

His ceiling is more determined by work ethic than anything else IMO.

He don’t have the athleticism you need to be a super all time elite perimeter player but Barrett is going to be a 24-27 a game scorer imo on efficient numbers. Zion took all the attention but Barrett had one of the best freshman seasons of all time.
:scust:

I was 33% right. When I saw him in high school, it was clear that he didnt have the athleticism to be upper echelon. I thought he was more skilled than he has shown and his bbiq is not high enough to make it up. I thought he would be a smaller Paul Pierce.
