2019 NBA Draft profile: Duke forward R.J. Barrett
By David Barr
Film Study
R.J. Barrett’s elite ability to get downhill and to the basket is evident in this series of highlight clips:
Barrett completely overwhelms NC State with his ability to get to the rim numerous times in this clip. His success for drives begins to open up the rest of the game, as he gets an open mid-range jumper, and an open 3 throughout this clip.
He doesn’t possess a unique skill-set offensively, so bringing physicality and forcing defenses to react to that might be his best course of action for offensive success.
