RJ BARRETT NEWS

Serviceable performance Sunday Barrett closed with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 121-108 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Barrett was fine in the loss without doing anything too spectacular. The fact he shot 60 percent from the field and didn't make it to the line were both positives. While he is quite clearly a 12-team commodity, he does come with his obvious flaws, namely a low shooting percentage. Anyone who drafted him should have been prepared for the empty lines, making this a serviceable effort.

Shooting struggles continue in win Barrett produced 22 points (9-21 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 134-131 overtime win over the Hornets.

Impact Barrett missed six of his last seven shots, including three layups, as the Knicks held on to win in overtime. For the third time in four games, he failed to make a three-point shot and he is just 3-for-21 from beyond the arc for the year. The 22-year-old continues to struggle to be an efficient scorer and has made only 37.0 percent of his field-goal attempts in the early going.

Hits for 18 in win over Pistons Barrett finished Friday's 130-106 win over the Pistons with 18 points (8-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block over 28 minutes.

Impact After a disastrous 3-for-18 shooting performance in New York's first game of the season, a three-point loss in Memphis on Wednesday, Barrett looked a lot more comfortable in the Knicks' home opener. The fourth-year wing led the starting five in scoring, but after coming into the year as a career 35.3 percent shooter from three-point range, he's 0-for-9 from beyond the arc in 2022-23.

Wraps strong preseason Barrett logged 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and a block during 33 minutes of action in Friday's 105-89 win over the Wizards.

Impact Barrett concludes preseason action averaging 19.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. He connected on a blistering 50.0 percent (11-of-22 3Pt) of his triples through New York's four contests. He'll look to stay hot in the Knicks' season opener against Memphis on Wednesday.

Scores 21 in loss Barrett scored 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3 Pt, 6-7 FT) with four rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Pacers.

Impact Barrett had a solid night overall with the exception of going just 1-of-5 from the three-point line. He had two nice assists in the first quarter to Julius Randle for three, and then to Obi Toppin for an easy dunk, while shooting 3-of-7 in the first half. The Knicks guard then added 12 third-quarter points before watching his team blow the lead in the fourth quarter from the bench.

Hits for 21 in preseason opener Barrett scored 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 23 minutes during Tuesday's preseason win over the Pistons.

Impact With a huge four-year contract extension in his pocket, Barrett got his preseason off to a flying start, leading all scorers on the night with an impressive display of offense. The Knicks are setting expectations high after they also added Jalen Brunson to the backcourt, and they'll need Barrett to take another step forward in his development after the 22-year-old averaged 20 points a game for the first time last season.
