Awaiting RJ Barrett’s first comments amid Knicks intrigue

Duke swingman RJ Barrett will stage his Pro Day at UCLA Tuesday, along with 18 other Bill Duffy clients, but he will not participate in workouts.

Presumably, Barrett will be on hand to speak to teams present and also break his post-lottery silence with the media. After the lottery reveal that put the Knicks in strong position to select him at No. 3, Barrett went mum. The Toronto-born prospect left the Chicago Hilton studio without speaking to reporters.

The next day, Barrett interviewed at the NBA Draft Combine with the Knicks and Grizzlies, who own the second pick and The Post has reported Memphis is leaning toward point guard Ja Morant.
