RJ Barrett

The Blue Devil guard attained elite level status as Duke Basketball touched new heights under his and Zion's skillsets. RJ Barrett is a bonafide basketball superstar and has the code to greatness already hardwired in his DNA.

The 19-year-old averaged 22.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists and stacked up 860 points on what was the fourth most points scored by a freshman in Division I history. Barrett is a superhuman finisher at the rim with his strong drives and doesn't flinch when it comes to dominating in the paint. He is a fierce rebounder who crashes the boards at will and his instincts to read the play on defense are out of this world.

"New York is the place I want to be, so I hope they draft me." - RJ Barrett

The Ontario native is expected to be picked behind fellow teammate Zion Williamson and Ja Morant as a strong No.3 overall pick in the upcoming draft and has repeatedly expressed his desire to play for the Knicks.

Only if he could develop his off-ball offense and improve his decision making in the half court, his ceiling is sky high.
