For The NY Knicks, when the chips are in the middle of the table and you need a bucket, Tom Thibodeau should put the ball in the hands of one man – RJ Barrett.

The 20-year-old has ice in his veins. He’s consistently The Knicks’ most clutch player. Friday’s win against the Memphis Grizzlies should only affirm that Barrett should be the team’s go-to in winning time.

With a strong game-tying lay-up to tie the game and the dagger three-pointer in overtime, the former third overall pick has the clutch gene that makes Madison Square Garden go wild.
