Zion has gotten, so far, 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists per game. But what are their stats to back it up? In short, their stats are great (especially Zion since returning from that knee surgery). His reputation in the NBA is growing rapidly on and off the court because of how big his success is so far, and if he (or Zion) gets to the playoffs it will grow even bigger.įine, they were big names in college and have great success with their teams. Plus, he made his name known in college before stepping foot onto an NBA court. Morant is with the Grizzles right now, which is in the NBA Restart Season currently. This man was always in the spotlight, which helps tremendously. The injury he sustained didn’t put his career on hold, he continued to get attention because of a shoe incident between him, Duke, and Nike. He was making ESPN headlines, breaking the news and internet, and he was the freak of nature in college. Plus, Zion is a lot more known because of his time at Duke. The Pelicans have been a popular team for a while, people talked about them in a positive and negative way, and they used to have a franchise player (Anthony Davis). The Pelicans are unique, totally better than the Knicks. Zion Williamson, to start with, he is with the Pelicans. Are Zion’s and Morant’s stats any better? Why are they known more than Barrett? It is about how they stunk for the past 20 years and haven’t made any progress because their heading coaching decisions were poor and their signings were mildly okay.Ī team’s reputation can have a major impact on a player’s success for fame and for how the player plays. When people think of the Knicks it isn’t about Patrick Ewing, it isn’t about what they used to be in the ’70s, ’80s, and potentially the ’90s. He was scoring, in all seven seasons, 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. Here are the statistics to prove that his talent was wasted because of the Knicks. Yeah, sure, he had a few botches but the team around him wasn’t that great. Look at Carmelo Anthony, he went to the Knicks and wasted his prime with them. Since the Knicks have been relevant in so long nobody has cared. He has been scoring 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists. It is not like he is playing badly, he is still scoring high numbers as a rookie. Sadly, that might have decreased the interest in so many because of where he landed too.
#RJ BARRETT STATS PLUS#
You would think a team in New York, plus playing in Madison Square Garden would help, but it didn’t. First of all, he was drafted by the New York Knicks. Today, I will be breaking down why RJ Barrett has fallen below our scale of talent, and why we need to stop sleeping on him. So why is he being underrated, or why isn’t getting so much of a look like Zion or Morant? If anyone remembers the last NBA Draft they would remember it went Zion Williamson (Pelicans), Ja Morant (Grizzles), and then RJ Barrett (Knicks). He showed be getting hyped up by the fans, announcers, sports-figures, ETC. Is RJ Barrett underrated? That is a fair question to ask, why? Because he was the third overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, plus this is his rookie season.
