BARRETT
New York • 2021-22
Dec. 14, 2020 - R.J. Barrett's rookie season was marred by dysfunction and uncertainty at an organizational level. In 2020-21, the 20-year-old has a chance to play more of a significant role as part of the team's core. Barrett may need to refine his game at the NBA level in order to produce efficiently with a Tom Thibodeau workload but he'll put up respectable counting numbers while he figures it out. (@AustinKent)
