3:20 “Barrett should live in the free throw line at the NBA” - from which he currently shoots 65%. He’ll have to improve on that but overall I agree that he is a top tier prospect

As a RJ Barrett fan I’m happy we going to NY 😁

Just draft him Knicks no need to get fancy.

I can tell ryt now that he is going to be an elite defender. If he puts in the effort. He has all the physical attributes.

Hope this guy comes to the knicks💯 has winners mentality and would be waaaay better with nba spacing

Inefficient scorer. Great stat lines if you do not read the percentages and watch the late game tapes. If he works on his decision-making and jump shot, he can be a good pro otherwise he will be an average starter at best.

It's pretty interesting watching your analysis now vs at the start of the year

the weeknesses can be fixed by nba coaching

Been waiting for these draft scouting videos! Good shit

If he develops a right hand, he will be a solid pro.

ik the gripes on rj are that he isn't a great shooter or passer but his godfather is literally steve nash... i think a summer of training with him would tremendously help rj in both of those aspects of his game and make him basically a guaranteed star in the future

Watched all highlights - like 50 of them and saw only a handful of him going right. NBA defenses will feast on this knowledge, always forcing him right. RJ Barrett will need to develop major parts of his game like going right with his handle and becoming a consistent 3pt shooter. In other words, he won't be NBA-ready like the video suggests. However, as the video also suggests, his mental toughness and aggressiveness will get him there - his shot mechanics look good and he is aware on D and has size to be a great defender and he will improve his weakness such as going right more often. My prediction - on a rebuilding team without all-stars, he will average 16-18 pts 5-6 rebs 3-4 assists for two years but with bad %s and TOs but will break out in year 3 or so to become a dominant and fairly efficient scorer in the mold of Jimmy Bulter - a wing who can score and defend at near-elite levels (all-star but not superstar) but also acts as a secondary facilitator.

It’s really cool watching this now in 2022. The analysis was quite accurate

23, 8 and 4 wit a future all star IMPRESSIVE

Lefty Jimmy Butler. Not day 1 but will eventually be that type of player. Knicks must keep him along with young core and sign two max guys. C- Mitchell Robinson PF- Marcus Morris SF- Kevin Durant SG- RJ Barrett PG- Kyrie Irving Bench DSJ, Knox, Dotson, and other vets Contenders in 2019!

Please new York, do not pick Culver over him, and do not trade him for AD.

He needs to just work on his shot selection and use his right hand more

Future Knick.

His decision making needs to improve the most, he forces things too much.

All 3 duke guys are worth drafting all have great potential.

His body frame is Derozen but his play-style is different. Derozen has a better midrange while rj has a better 3. Rj has a great soft touch around the basket while Derozen is more explosive. At this point I don't know if he should be top 3, certainly has great potential though.

Knicks will draft RJ Barrett... Nothing to get cute about. Talent acquisition, youth development, culture, youth and depth building. Scott Perry been sticking to the plan.

Gonna look spectacular in the Garden with two stars on the way. Knicks chip in 2023!

I can’t lie... it was easy to look over RJ. You know, because of that man 😂

Knicks are not giving the Pelicans a 3rd pick,Knox and Mitch for a guy who will be a Free Agent after next year... Welcome to NY R.J

Plz plz plz plz Knicks who cares if we missed out on Zion I think we got blessed with RJ at 3 he's the best player in the draft

this is true.....with shooters around him he is damn near unstoppable....he has advanced tools for somebody that young...shooting percentages will increase for him too....I would take him with the second pick even though I love Morant's game I think RJ has more potential

New York Knicks is the perfect fit for RJ Barrett if he improves his defense.

I want to see him play some point for the Knicks

hell be like kuzma rookie year and blossom from there

With his great jumpshot

Driving and finishing there contact is his strength. Inconsistent from 3 and the free throw line.

Whom he ends up with is one lucky team.

I see some Harden, some Penny, and some Brandon Roy.

One thing i noticed is that he doesnt really have a layup package. He just barrels into people. Hopefully he can develop something before he plays! I still think hes the safest pick for anyone. Zion is a big project. Morant is a project as well and he needs to go to a team that fits him.

The fact we have Fizdale and young players makes me hopeful that we can become great again especially if we pull 2 solid F/As for years to come.

They say he’s got Derozan’s height and wingspan but he looks like he plays way longer than Derozan

#Knickstape 2020 Who's with me?

RJ need to get that right hand 🤚 involved in the game!!!!!!!

Bro is not hard to guard him🤦🏿‍♂️ his weaknesses is to force him to drive on the right side or shoot

RJ is likely in for a good 13 year career. He could end up being a 10 time all star. Zero bust potential.

Lol this guy was the no.1 option every time in the clutch at duke and he choked most of the time. Not hatin just saying what I saw

He would go second in the draft if the Grizzlies were a ready to win team. But since they would still be in rebuild mode I understand why they would pick Ja instead since he is more exciting and will fill seats.

Future Knick (or Pelican)

7:33 RJ weakness

People wonder why Cam Reddish had an underwhelming season, in the clips of him being selfish it was almost Cam who was open and didn't get the ball. He had to play as a third option and the 2nd option hogged it way too much. RJ reminds me of Harden, he will do great things by himself, but won't be able to fit in with other stars around him. Hopefully that changes but he's way too aggressive at times and doesn't defer to his teammates enough.

This will be a easy draft for Knicks i think. Unlike other times where they have to think different and usually get some shitty player from Europe. This time all they have to do is listen to New Orleans for the pick. I am not worried.

He's basically like Ben Simmons with a shoot.

6:15 double dribble

Pick 3 was not that bad for the Knicks, RJ and Ja are good options

If the Knicks draft him I swear we finally got what we needed this guy is a scorer

Too many left drives and he doesn’t seem to have a good right side. He also needs a 3 point shot in this day an age - not buying into his game.

I hope he will not become like Wiggins

RJ's nonexistent right hand game is a deal-breaker. That skill should already be somewhat present by now. The Pels already had Austin Rivers who was forced to drive to the basket, while unsuccessfully trying to recapture his college outside shooting consistentcy, but being off-hand limited, his drives were easily-guardable and became a predictable crutch. Nine years later, Rivers still doesn't have an off-hand game (or outside shot). Pels better re-sign AD.

He's averaging 20 points per game in his third season 🤯

Kids got the complete package can't wait for summer league

This seems like a solid review

This is the most NBA ready prospect in the draft 💯

My biggest concern is he doesn’t seem particularly intelligent on the court. Very reactionary when things slow down. Great when he can use his instincts and things happen quickly. I like him all the same.

I c a left handed Paul Pierce, not bad lol Knicks or Lakers

I’m anxious to see how RJ Cam and Zion each do next season.

His playstyle looks like Derozan without Midrange

Barrett and Cameron Johnson to the Lakers to help LeBron.

Defenders clogging the paint to stop Barrett if that jumpshot is not fixed

I'll laugh if the Knicks trade him to my cavs

WELCOME TO NEW FUCKING YORK!!!!!

Yeah NOLA need to go for Zion and RJ. Do they have shooters though?

Triple double threat 👀

Mark my words. He'll be the best player to come out of this draft.

Safest pick tbh, not overly dependent on his athleticism, crafty scorer, can get to the line. If he continues to improve his jumpshot he’s gonna be a nightmare.

RJ should definitely go 3rd anyone with a top 3 pick has got a good pick also don't sleep on Goga Bitadze I reckon he will be drafted like 9th then put up a good enough rookie season that people will question if he should have been top 3 or not.

Knicks front office - don’t be STUPID! Do the right thing and take the sure bet. If not the fans are gonna burn you

64th percentile on pull-up jumpers, but 41st percentile on catch-and-shoot jumpers. 4.9 assists, 8.6 rebounds per 40 mins. There's a lot to like about RJ, but man I do wonder if his bad shot selection will carry over into the NBA. The Knicks obviously should take him if he's there & they don't trade him, but they should look to pair him with a Tremont Waters type of point guard to set up the offense and let RJ do some secondary scoring like a lot of these clips in here. He'll also be a lot better with shooting around... but the Knicks don't have a lot of that.... yet.

I think most star potential and only 18 sheesh cant remember a recent draft with 3 sure stars like this one

Okay, but you're wrong. He only uses his left hand and NBA defenders are going to take his left away and make him go right. He also can't shoot from the outside yet, he has poor shot selection, and he turns it over a lot. He is going to struggle early in his career until he develops moves and finishes with his right and improves in the other areas I mentioned.

I never get why people get the height wrong when they have the shit in front of there face

knicks fan and i really wanna buy into this dude but he just does not impress me for some reason. hopefully he proves me wrong cause we're probably gonna take him if we dont trade for ad

doesnt have the Wingspan 6'9?! (got to be at least 6'11), doesn't have the explosion...I am not a believer but hopefully I am proven wrong..I didnt think Jamal Murray could perform at that level in the NBA, but he certainly has the character...Maybe RJB has the same in him.

Left HANDS are rare someone like him on the Knicks its CLIPPED

Demar is DOO DOOO BRO

Get a right hand ✋ stop trying to be like kobe! Be like RJ. Hopefully this kid get a great head coach that'll teach him the way! Baby harden right now but he could turn into a cj miles if ur not careful wit him lol #roleplayer

Depends on the team

Pls NY don’t fuck up another pick. Don’t try act smart by taking someone like Culver. I wouldn’t mind Garland tho

Today's NBA is about 3-pointers. 😎😎😎 A weakness for Barrett

Almost identical to James harden... the left hand game is something else! Only difference is RJ isn’t a lethal shooter like harden... time will tell folks

Has no right but still a great scorer

what are the knicks waiting for draft this kid dont waste him this dud got a star talent,, please

Reminds me of Ginobli a little bit

Lakers need him

>> all his weaknesses are things that can be improved

Godson Of Steve Nash

His mindset reminds me of Kobe and melo. I hope though he's more like Kobe than melo . Mentality wise

The amount of times Tre Jones is seen wide open on the corner when Barrett drives is pure comedy

This video feels like I’m watching a Andrew Wiggins pre draft video 😂😂

Im going to be upset if we pass on him, talking about we want the 5th pick, no we dont !! We want RJ

Just hope he doesn't have to go to the free throw line with the game on the line

He’s a dog but he’ll have to expand his offense game at the next level. He’s either a left hand driver or a spot up 3.

if he comes out like derozan im more than satisfied

He looks like James harden when he dribbles and they defend similiar where they get lazy after one good stop. When he finishes around the rim he looks like DeRozan.

The Knicks know what they have to do
