[KnicksMuse] Through 2 games, players being guarded by RJ Barrett have shot 9/27 FG (33%). Jayson Tatum and Trae Young are a combined 1/8 FG (12.5%) when being guarded by RJ this season. Are we seeing both an offensive and defensive leap?

[6th lowest DFG%](https://www.nba.com/stats/players/defense-dash-overall?CF=D_FGA*G*10&dir=A&sort=D_FG_PCT) in the entire NBA for players that have defended at least 10 FGA
It’s two games into the season. I hope this is RJ taking that leap, but let’s not pop bottles just yet.
As a huge RJ fan I hope so but I’d love to be able to say this holds up for, say, 20 games.
This is not statistically relevant yet. I hope it continues and proves true over a longer sample size.
Way too small of a sample size but I hope so!
I hope he continues to be consistent, mofos were so impatient with him but it takes time to develop
I would wait for a full month before I make any conclusions
