Both the Blazers and the Knicks have been very disappointing this season, with last season's playoff teams missing out on the playoffs this season, but the Knicks are clearly better in this game, winning 128-98 to the Blazers by 30 points. With no star players on his side, Barrett became the brightest player in this game.
Barrett played the team's highest 40 minutes in this game, the whole game bombed 31 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, the plus-minus value reached the team's second positive 22, shooting percentage is also efficient 20 shots 10, 5 of 11 outside the three-point line, and also walked on the free throw line seven times, grabbed two frontcourt rebounds in the Blazers' head in four rebounds, 14 points in the first quarter, almost single-handedly blew up the Blazers' entire team, becoming the strongest thigh of the Knicks in this game.
In fact, this season, although the Knicks' record is very bad, and last season can not be compared with last season, but Barrett's performance is still remarkable, according to statistics, in the last 25 games Barrett played an All-Star level performance, averaging 24.5 points and 6 rebounds per game, the three-point shooting rate reached 36.6%, if this season's Knicks record is the same as last season, Barrett is very likely to enter the All-Star.
Comparing the performances of Randle and Barrett this season, it seems that Barrett is the Knicks' number one star, although the previous third overall pick was selected controversially, Zion and Morant's performance is much higher than Barrett, the first season average of 14.3 points, 5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, the shooting rate is even more miserable, Barrett is even considered to be the only parallel pick in the first three picks in 2019, but Barrett, who is now just 21 years old, has definitely proved that he has the potential to become an All-Star in the future.
As we all know, before entering the draft, Zion Barrett and Reddish were known as the young Duke Three, Zion is considered to be the highest achievement in the future, and even Reddish's limelight once surpassed Barrett, but from the current performance, Zion, although the talent is terrible, but the continuous injury impact makes his future not look so impressive, Reddish wants to become an All-Star player is almost a fool's dream, now look, but Barrett may become the strongest player in the future of Duke Three.
