New York Knicks: Should we be pleased with the development of RJ Barrett?

As we inch closer and closer to the halfway point of the regular season, we’ve now seen the top three picks of the 2019 draft in action (after Zion Williamson‘s debut last night). For the New York KnicksRJ Barrett, the third overall pick, how do we assess his development to date?

The NBA season is a marathon as opposed to a sprint, and rookies are particularly made aware of this through their first season in the league. There’s still plenty of basketball left to be played, but the general consensus is that the 2019 draft class has left much to be desired through the month of January.
