Knicks Player of the Week: RJ Barrett’s swagger returns

The New York Knicks have been waiting for RJ Barrett’s consistency to show up all season, and it finally did last week.

The third-year wing out of Duke finally reminded everyone why some call him the Maple Mamba with three strong performances. He manhandled the Indiana Pacers, overcame a rough performance to send the Boston Celtics home with a loss, and was looking strong before things went south against Boston again on Saturday.

And though his averages are a step back from his tremendous step forward last year, RJ Barrett is trending in the right direction.
