I don’t mind Barrett being inefficient I’ve chalked it up to he’s going to have good days and bad days, but I can’t have him be inefficient playing the most minutes and taking the most shots with 22 while shooting 26 percent.

Thibs is trying to make him roll with the second unit and maybe that will help.

Again you hope he picks it up in December or January but this is 6 out of 7 games now he’s shooting under 32 percent. Time is running out.

You're more patient and optimistic than I and most others on here are in regards to Barrett.

I held out for awhile too but the start of this season just has me completely thrown off with dude. Year 4 and same issues we've been seeing since Yr 1 still present. Sloppy handles, turnover prone, can't finish around the rim to save his life, poor shooting, etc.

Aside from being a Knicks fan how do you still have any hope for RJ? It's been asked before a few times in this thread and no one can provide an answer, what exactly does Barrett do well? His defense used to be something you can point to and say well at least he holds his own on that end but you can't even say that anymore. He's not Randle or Fournier bad but this season he's had some stinkers on that side of the ball as well.

Seriously, what does this guy do well?

Enough is enough! RJ can’t be getting coddled.

This slow start shyt is for the birds. I’m not trying to hear that.

This isn't even hyperbole. He needs to go to the bench and find his game there, it might be the one thing that saves his career.

I called it last season that he should be coming off the bench.

He definitely should be coming off of there now with his play.
