RJ Barrett

RJ BARRETT (TOR)

STAR UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: GO-TO, TWO-WAY WING

 

A go-to wing threat hailing from Canada, RJ Barrett’s one of the faces of Raptors basketball; ruthless scoring tools - RJ’s very comfortable with the ball in his hands; NBA body, frame allows Barrett to finish thru contact*; elusive on offense (quick crossover), can slip by for a euro finish or iso into looks off the dribble; underrated playmaker (has the size & know how to find teammates), will improve as patience matures; has gotten more efficient from inside & outside the arc - more volume coming soon?; FTs & drives will be a large part of Barrett’s scoring attack to start out - reliable post game at some point?; must avoid poor shot selection & improve playmaking on the run; strong defender on the wing: sized, doesn’t give up easily; budding backcourt duo w/ Scottie Barnes: All-Star upside?

*controlled bully ball, uses strength & contact to his advantage


SIGNATURE! COMING SOON.
