The preseason is completely meaningless. Let’s set the stage early because it’s important to remember what games we are talking about right now. RJ Barrett looked phenomenal in the two preseason games the New York Knicks played against the Detroit Pistons. Dare I say it — Barrett looks like he might be an All-Star as soon as this season.
Barrett, 20, led all scorers in both games and did so efficiently. The Canadian-born wing started off the preseason by going 0-for-6 from the floor, but he was able to shake off the rust in the blink of an eye.
