CHICAGO—R.J. Barrett currently sits at No. 1 in the Scout.com Class of 2019 player rankings and the 6'7" wing looked the part of top player this weekend at the Chicago Elite Classic.
A smooth and athletic player who burst on the scene as a freshman with Montverde Academy last season, Barrett has done a great job of handling expectations over the past year as he's developed a big national reputation despite only being a sophomore.
Barrett has provided the production to match his No. 1 status as he's been outstanding in international competitions and at the high school level.
