Twitter Is Ruthlessly DESTROYING R.J. Barrett Over His Summer League Performance (TWEETS)

Making the transition from college to the NBA is never easy, and it’s especially hard when you’ve been drafted by the Knicks. You have to deal with an intense media that is unlike any other in the NBA. And then there are that fans. Those poor Knicks fans have dealt with so much disappointment over the years, that it’s almost as if they’ve just come to expect failure at this point.

Heck, I think everyone has come to expect failure from the Knicks at this point. That seems to be the case with the team’s third-overall pick, who’s already being written off by NBA fans and analysts after a rough Summer League.

RJ Barrett is Josh Jackson except he’s a worse shooter and not as athletic

RJ Barrett has the triple double in sight. 8 points, 9 rebs, 8 turnovers

Most of it was bad, but there actually were some some people on Twitter who were a little more realistic about the entire situation:

Reacting to two summer league games from RJ Barrett is one of the craziest things I’ve witnessed. Give the kid a minute, and maybe even a real game or two, good gosh.
— Ryan Ruocco (@RyanRuocco) July 8, 2019

Both of these statements are true:

– RJ Barrett has been about as bad as you could be in his first 2 summer league games so far

– RJ Barrett is 19, hasn’t played a game since March and a good amount of rust, growing pains should be expected.

Inhale. Exhale. Repeat.
