RJ Barrett was always a star when he was in New York. But the fit wasn’t perfect. We’ve now seen Barrett break out properly after being traded to Toronto. Barrett’s still only 24 years old and will be one of the best NBA swingmen for another six or more years. I’m less confident with his teammate Scottie Barnes, but Bobby Webster is high on him. 1/1/2025
