If I was on the Knicks I might be willing to move Barrett to Pg. I said on another site 18 months ago I think if he could develop a better j he could be a Harden hybrid pg type

But Barrett also deters me from Lamelo ball— I don’t see synergy nor is the shooting anywhere good enough to have both.

He should be a wing, but play alongside a PG that can play off the ball. That is a big reason i value Haliburton so much. We need a plug and play PG that can knock down open shots, play D, and move the ball.

this is where I'm at. There are tons of top teams where the offense does not run through a pg: lakers, rockets, denver, bucks to name a few

you want a situation where the guy can handle the ball better than the opponent can defend that guy with the ball, and also want someone smart with good vision. i can totally see the offense running through RJ. I just want his FT% to improve (a lot) and his shooting to improve at least some and steadily

I wonder what it would take to get Monte Morris from Denver? He’s a free agent next year and I can’t see Denver paying him to remain stuck behind Murray. The fans and media have been calling for him to start alongside Murray over Harris. He’s a younger PG with a good bbiq, can knock down open shots, takes care of the ball and plays decent D. I’d give our late first round pick or a future pick for him. Such a great fit next to Barrett. Not a high upside guy but could be a good starting PG on a winning team if the plan is to run the offense thru a wing player.

I’m not particularly high on Ntilikina because of his confidence issues, but man if he can get his shooting to come around than on paper he’s a good fit with Barrett. He just needs to become a spot up threat.

Barrett might not be the player to build an offense around. Might not have the ability to put the team on his back at will, like a superstar. Believe RJ is the kind of leader you can build a team around. Which is just as important.
