New York Knicks: 5 options for pick No. 3 in 2019 NBA Draft

1. R.J. Barrett

Well, did you really expect Tacko Fall?

If I were R.J. Barrett, I’d probably be looking for a permanent home in New York right about now. After spending an entire year on the spotlight, betting on Barrett being a New York Knick next season seems like the safest bet of all.

With the third pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Knicks might be able to snatch the most talented player in this year’s draft class. Barrett is a straight-up scorer. In fact, he led his team in scoring while being teammates with Zion Williamson, the best prospect we’ve seen since LeBron James.

It seems like the Canadian shooting guard has had his heart set on playing for the Knicks for a long time.

Anybody who has watched Barrett play is already familiar with what he brings to the floor. As a 6’7’’ shooting guard with natural athleticism and a great skill-set that is set to segue into the NBA, Barrett is someone the New York Knicks should closely look into.

He has scoring-leader type of potential, and even though most Knicks fans seemed to be devastated after missing out on Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett could prove to be just as good.
