When the New York Knicks drafted RJ Barrett with the third overall pick in 2019, they saw superstar aspirations for his future. Barrett was never an elite level shooter, but his ability to drive to the basket and display extraordinary athleticism was a selling point.
Barrett had his fair share of struggles in his rookie season, averaging 30.4 minutes per game. He averaged 14.3 points per contest, five total rebounds, 2.6 assists, and a .402 field goal percentage. One of his biggest negatives was his free-throw percentage at 61.4%. However, he has seen that number bubble to 86.
