Yes one of my favourite players as a Knick fan! Doesn’t have any crazy go-to moves yet but is learning how to attack space and finish at the rim. “The Jimmy Butler-fication of his game” very apt description
Stiffest bucket in the league. All jokes aside, really hope he becomes a more fluid athlete cause if he can teams will be at his mercy. His strength allows him to just body his defenders so once he smoothes out his game, improves his footwork, and gets a softer touch he will be unstoppable in the paint
I really appreciate the time you take for the descriptions of these videos. It’s nice to learn the stats and get a perspective of why these players are effective in what they do
I could be wrong about this, but RJ seems like he gets called for travels often. Very spastic footwork at time. I'm glad he's been having a good year. Also, I love you.
He doesn't, actually, but I agree about his feet. There's a bit of a disconnect between his handle and his footwork, which sometimes leaves him picking up the ball earlier than he should while gathering for a layup. As he improves his handle and dribble moves become more natural to him, that shouldn't be too much of a problem anymore
Rj Barrett and Ben Simmons should train together both lefties both slashers but Simmons is an elite defender and Barrett has a jumper. I want both of them to develop a post game.
He’s like a left handed jimmy butler on offense. Not much finesse, really physical, lives on body contact and knocking you off balance. I think he can be a solid number 3 on a championship team. Definitely a good building block for the future. Too bad the Knicks have missed on so many draft picks these last couple of years.....Kevin Knox, Frank Nitlikina, obi toppin. That’s three top ten picks that could have been useful.
You know what, it was depending on FO situation. When Knicks drafted Knox, whole organization was calling for rebuilding. They brought Miles Bridges, and Knox for workouts. Knox was outstanding at that time I heard. So extremely young and talented(Knicks FO thought) Kentucky product Knox was. Even though he is having one hell of bust NBA career, he is still jus 21, still second youngest player on Knicks. Jesus. Frank was drafted by Phil Jackson era for triangle fit PG. His defense is still excellent, but his offense is still damn terrible. (He can not make his own shots as Thib prefers for a G) So Knox and Frank were the choice of FO situations. Toppin is alright. Knicks were considered damn favorite for 30/30 teams before season started. Knicks thought after trading Randle, Toppin would be the starting caliber PF. (Leon Rose went nuts after Knicks got Toppin. He was freaking happy) As you know, Randle is playing the best season of his career, which ironically doomed Toppin's chance of playing time. But Obi is practicing really hard, and ask questions to vets a lot. And he is a damn good teammate. So he will be alright I think.
By the time RJ 's 24 he'll be luka harden level finisher.. doesnt have tht explosiveness but crafty and strong getting to the rim teams aint gone have a choice but to foul

His change of pace when he's driving is one of the reasons why you don't see defenders drawing charges or his shots being blocked.
RJ has a variety of ways to score and his shot is getting better. On top of that he plays hard on defense. Has the making of a top tier two way player
Facts!!

I can watch 9 minutes of this and forever be satisfied
Anyone notice how most of these finishes are with his right hand??? Ambidextrous finisher
people always say that and it's not true, thank you!
The Knicks have one of the best young core's , not to mention their a top tier team.
Teamwork wins games
So happy you made this video. I love the videos you produce and it's great to see one on my favorite players making an appearance.

If RJ can develop his right hand usage more, he will be more deadly.
I really think a mid range game will take him to the next level that or getting to the free
Throw line at a higher clip.
This is awesome.
Could we ever see the version Barrett from the2019 FIBA World Cup in the NBA ?
Rj Barrett and Ben Simmons should train together both lefties both slashers but Simmons is an elite defender and Barrett has a jumper. I want both of them to develop a post game.
Who says RJ is slow ?, I think he plays with Great change of Pace and explodes when he needs to.
I see a SUPERSTAR IN THE MAKING.
Thank you for this video - would love to see Julius Randle mid post / iso scoring video!!
immanuel quickley deep 3s vid would be sick too
Knicks gotta keep this guy! No stupid trades plz!
Imagine lebron or zion doing this. Bodies flying everywhere
