Duke product RJ Barrett is one of the most sought-after players that is set to enter the 2019 NBA Draft, and he’s a surefire top-3 pick. At this point, it’s really a question of where he lands, more than anything.
The Pelicans have already made it clear that they’re going to draft Zion Williamson with the No. 1 overall pick, which is a surprise, to, well, no one. As for Barrett, he’s been linked to the Knicks, who have the No. 3 pick. And apparently, that’s exactly who he wants to play for — under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden.
“This is the place I want to be, so I hope they draft me,” Barrett said.
R.J. Barrett won't be meeting with any other teams, and says that he wants to be a Knick:

It remains to be seen if Barrett will be available at No. 3, but if so, it sure seems like the Knicks will draft him.
