RJ Barrett is eager to start his fourth season with the Knicks and will do so against Ja Morant:
“Morant is a really good player. And just like many other players in the league, but when you come in and play against him, there is definitely motivation because we belong to the same draft class. I’ve always said that I always try to prove myself. So it’s just a motivation and everyone in that draft class is trying to be the best. So everything is really just a motivational type of thing. I’m always excited to play against them”, Barett said on Morant.
Barrett quietly put together a solid preseason ahead of Wednesday’s face-off with Morant.
