I’m not looking to nitpick. Certainly hope he continues to develop at the FT line. I’m not in the “must sell” category here. I do think that indicators like FT% are important though. He shot 54% in February, so you can’t say he made consistent growth. FT% speaks to skill level to a large degree.

If the Knicks were interested in Hield, I think Hield makes Barrett expendable. We can argue over Hield’s attitude vs Barrett’s upside. It’s highly possible that Barrett is a younger Wiggins. Or he could be a young Tracy McGrady. Hield is a volume 40% 3pt shooter that will open the floor a bit on a long but decent contract.

Personally, I’d be just as happy with Hield. I hope Barrett proves me wrong. Nothing would make me happier.
