Because they lost out on Zion Williamson, Knicks fans may not be ready to hear it, but landing a top-3 pick in the lottery qualifies as a success. New York beat the odds to land No. 3, and will be rewarded with a top-tier prospect.
WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 31: RJ Barrett #5 of the Duke Blue Devils reacts in the second half against the Michigan State Spartans during the 2019 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament East Regional Final at Capital One Arena on March 31, 2019 in Washington, DC. Many Knicks fans will wake up bummed out on Wednesday morning. Some will be in worse shape than others, but most New York hoops fans will be nursing a “we didn’t get Zion” hangover of some sort.
After those three, there is far less of a consensus amongst most pundits as to who will come off the board HARTFORD, CT - MARCH 23: Murray State Racers guard Ja Morant during the NCAA Division I Men's Championship second round college basketball game between the Florida State Seminoles and the Murray State Racers on March 23, 2019 at XL Center in Hartford, CT. Make no mistake, Barrett is an elite NBA prospect. At this time last year, he was the clear-cut No. 1 prospect in his class, well ahead of Williamson. Heading into the 2018-19 season, he was the more heralded Duke freshman.
Yet, Barrett is not solely a scorer. He dished out 4.3 assists per game, which ranked fifth overall in the ACC. He had 11 assists in their win over Virginia Tech in Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. Barrett also averaged an impressive 7.6 rebounds per game. That’s a higher rebounding average than first-round forward prospects such as Grant Williams of Tennessee and P.J. Washington of Kentucky.
While this particular column focused primarily on Barrett, similar praise could be pointed in Ja Morant’s direction. I will work up a deep dive into Morant’s pro prospects should it appears the Grizzlies plan to pass on Morant and go with Barrett.
