I can’t believe RJ felt like a throw-in for the OG trade

  1. I know, small sample size, but RJ has been such a great addition to this team. Can’t wait to see him continue developing on the Raptors.

    How the Knicks used RJ didn’t play to his strengths and thus his value was very low

    Even then, you could see flashes of the player he could be

  3. Yeah go back to the trade thread, not too many folks were excited about him.

    Gotta get him shooting 500fts a day all summer. Everything else is good for me.

    Weird I was aware of both players stats but seeing them compared to each other this way really puts into perspective how good RJ has been for us. Look at that 3pt%!

    Throw in? What else did the raps get in return

    /uj Crazy how I only knew him from
    /rj barret

  7. Am I crazy for thinking he could just make the all star team in the future. Like as an injury replacement.

    To be fair, Knicks RJ was never this good, or more specifically this efficient. He has been so good since coming to Toronto, probably their 2nd best player behind Scottie.

  9. Nobody remembers Duke RJ

    When RJ was drafted to the Knicks he was relegated to a role behind multiple other players, principally Julius Randle

    There is no one ahead of RJ in the Raptors now aside from Barnes, and Barnes is a passer, and completely OK with allowing other people to get their offense off

    This is RJ’s real game, not the stuff people saw from him in NY

    hadn’t thought about it before but that’s actually crazy how similar RJ and Siakam’s stats have been on their new teams. The graphic doesn’t show it but they’ve both had dropoffs in FT% as well, 61% for RJ and 69% for P

    This graphic just has the wrong stats for Siakam.

    I’m looking at the numbers on basketall reference and RJ’s numbers are correct, but Pascal’s stats with Indiana are:

    23.9 ppg, 8.8 rpg, and 4.3 apg. The field goal and 3 point % are correct, but for whatever reason, they shaved 2.6 points, 1 rebound, and .4 assists from Pascal’s averages.
