Not even looking at his age, but his actual games played (218 through Sunday) to balance things out a bit more in terms of experience, Barrett is part of a unique group of players to have reached the next marks in that span of play since 2000: Speaking of stats, from Rose's angle, RJ Barrett surely is in an elite class. “They are the only other four players that by the age of 22 scored 3000 points, 1000 rebounds, and 300 three-point shots.” Rose got his stuff right, indeed.Īs much cherry-picking as he could have done going for the single-digit-unit difference with his comments and vague research, the truth is that the 3K-1K benchmark along with 300 3-pointers offered by Rose wasn’t even a remotely fine-grainily crafted stat line made up out of the blue just to put Barrett into an exclusive one-man club. In a proper, historic context, that’s actually fact. “ numbers are in the company of elite,” Rose told MSG Network, before making it clear that Barret’s stats are “in the company of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Kevin Durant.” “We are thrilled to announce a well-deserved extension for RJ Barrett, a core piece of our team’s foundation,” said Rose while introducing the Knicks' statement about the contract extension. Three months since team New York Knicks’ president Leon Rose made some remarkable, magnificent statements about the now-and-forever face of the team. Nearly three months since the Canadian signed a then-undisclosed agreement with the franchise that drafted him with the third-overall pick of the 2019 NBA draft. It’s been nearly three months since the Knicks announced RJ Barrett’s contract extension.
