Perhaps you’re used to people taking 20 steps back. His move was actually legit. If he can add that then he’ll be a 25 point per game scorer.
The release could be sped up but thats the key and he knows it too. His trainer has been saying how the next step over the summer for him is shooting off the dribble. if he can maintain his shooting splits while increasing OTD shots then yeah he's going to be a monster.

There's a few NBA players on the canadian team for this score to be that close

Meh that happens and yeah Canada has a big talent advantage but as long as RJ does his part then thats all that matters

I'd agree with guys on deep playoffs team but feel like Randle would get uber exposure to high level guys and it would rub off on him in a good way.
Practice/play on team versus working out... same mileage? Maybe not same but similar
this - and this is also one of those recruiting forums for super teams. Playing with other top talents. Doesn't always work, but it helps.
But I agree on the miles and extra injuries.
Yeah...that RJ, Wiggins, Olynyck.
Superteam ready to dominate for us 🤣

Former #1 pick Anthony The Bear Bennett would like some superteam consideration please
I really like this kid and hope he's the not the centerpiece of a trade for an old guy like Dame (Booker would be OK)
When RJ becomes useful with his right hand he really will be an a yearly all star bucket getter. He's got some work to do but it really all seems achievable. He's got the head and his physical profile is really good. Stay healthy kid! 
Super excited for RJ, but my gosh how in the holy hell is Kevin Love on the US team over Julius? You say you want his passing and shooting ability? I mean Randle averaged 6 assists and shot over 40% from 3...Love doesn't even want to play anymore. Not only insulting to Randle, but insulting to fans of basketball period.

Hey, why rush it if you don't have to? Kinda reminds me of Jordan and that famous three to end his Bulls career. Definitely took his time on that iconic shot.
We won't get to see Luca carry his squad for another two weeks.
https://www.archysport.com/2021/06/argen...The Argentine team, world runner-up in China 2019, has confirmed three friendlies in preparation. On Saturday, July 10, Hernández’s team will face Australia; on Monday the 12th they will face Nigeria and on Tuesday the 13th they will have as their rival the United States, the current three-time Olympic champion

I guess Max Kellerman and Charles Barkley are picking the US team?

I’ve been dealing with clowns like Tommy Beer on twitter who are screaming for us to trade RJ plus assets and picks for Lillard. The kid is 20, working his butt off to get better which he is. Lillard is on the wrong side of 30 for God’s sake.
What’s the argument for? RJ’s ceiling is Jayson Tatum? I’ll take that

I agree with you on this. From the improvements I saw this year, I want to build around Barrett as much (or more) than any player on the team.
You can see him testing out his 3 creation in these games. I think the way everything was mapped out by his trainer. it’s improve RJ’s 3pt creation this year, and then ball handle next year… So great news to see him put what he is learning to work.

Remember Melo having a career yr after playing in the olympics in 2012.. It keeps your competitive juices flowing, keeps you in shape, builds your IQ, I hope they make it far..
Rick Pitino Definitely had some HIGH PRAISES for RJ
Pitino, the Iona coach who formerly coached the Knicks and Celtics in addition to college stints including Kentucky and Louisville, said of the Knicks’ No. 3 overall pick in 2019 out of Duke: “Barrett in college couldn’t really shoot a 12-foot shot, and I absolutely love players that work at their game and get better. I’m obviously a big Knicks fan, so I’m a big RJ fan. But the fact that he’s improved so much is amazing to me.”“If you give him his left hand, he’s unstoppable,” Pitino added. “He’s strong. He’s tough.”
I hope the knicks don't include him in any trade

Same clowns who screamed do whatever it takes to get Westbrook.
