I am with Luka in this.
I really though RJ Barrett was born in USA. So he is from Canada.
First time I dig for that kid about his background but I do followed him in college.
He is one of the great guys in Duke but it is just that Zion was also in the same team.
But I still have the high hopes for him. Somewhere in maybe 2 to 3 years he will bloom and his name will be popular to everyone.
Then there is Brandon Clarke which is also Canadian.
RJ Barrett was the Canadian highschool player of the year when he came out of high school and into duke. He was mocked as the #1 pick by everyone prior to the college season. Zion was supposed to be good but no one thought he was going to be that good. That all changed in the preseason Hawaii tourney where he wrecked everyone. That's when the legend of zion started. If RJ went to any other college he would be just as well known he was just always second fiddle news to zion though
Yeah, I never knew that. It was just the Duke time where I saw that kid. He was really amazing.
Who knows? Maybe someday he will get that number 1 spot in NBA. That will be more awesome than being the number 1 draft pick.
He does have the figure of being a star. Tall, average body which makes him not much prone to injuries unlike Zion's built.
The kid just needs some upgrades with his shooting skills and also with ball handling.
Well, practice could make him better. It will be a different training now with NBA.
I placed a small bet on Team USA to win, took the moneyline but really should have gone with the spread instead, roster is just too stacked imo.
I have Trae or Ja winning the MVP even though Zion if favored by the bookies.
Congratulations. You won!!!
That was a hell of a fun game. Lot of laughter at the first half and specially that Luka Doncic buzzer beater at the half court.
Trae using his signature ball handling skills and then Ja Morant and Zion's dunks. It was awesome.
It could have been a big roar from the audience if Ja had caught that ball when he tries to block RJ. Damn high flying Ja.
