Disappointing loss last night but it’s easy to take some positives away. Barrett is starting to emerge as the player we all hoped when he was drafted. He’s taking on more responsibility, hitting big shots in the clutch, and making plays in the halfcourt. It’s so important for his development to be the focal point of the franchise going forward and for them to find the right PG he can grow with that can bring more out of his game. Drose probably can’t save them again this year, so the goal should simply be to give barrett increased usage and see where things are at the end of the season. RJ may not be a franchise changing player, but it certainly can’t be ruled out.
Second insanely clutch buzzer beating 3 he’s hit this year. Couldn’t agree more. We are missing the playoffs but at least RJ is showing he’s the real deal and a foundation for a better future
To have a career best game on national TV against LeBron is a big time accomplishment. These final 29 games need to be all about RJ continuing to become that alpha dawg.
And shoot a thousand free throws a day in the off-season.

RJ shoots 70% from FT line this year and in a couple of particular games and the Knicks win like 2-5 more games?

Whatever h is working on I say go with that. He is becoming a legitimate 3 lever scorer.
I think we all agree RJ is a solid player that we want on the team for the next 10 years. The issue is finding the other players to play with him. I think the only keepers in this team are RJ and Mitch. Randle has to prove he has his head on straight. Grimes has to prove consistency. Toppin is probably traded if you keep Randle. Quickley has to establish what he is, whether that is a pg or Bobby Jackson type scorer. But at least RJ looks like a keeper.
One good game followed by 10 mediocre ones.
Franchise player

He’s playing in a different role. So is Randle. I actually love what both of them are doing.
