NY Knicks: Comparing RJ Barrett’s ceiling to other young franchise players

Donovan Mitchell and Devin Booker are two of my top five favorite players in the NBA today. The other three, in no particular order, are Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, and Julius Randle. Randle is a recent addition since James Harden now plays for that other team.

The NY Knicks’ young slasher, RJ Barrett is absent from that list. The second-best player, arguably the future number one, on my favorite team somehow is not in my top five favorite players in the league.
