Knicks snag RJ Barrett with No. 3 selection

The New York Knicks have selected Duke forward RJ Barrett with the No. 3 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

What It Means:

After having the worst record in the NBA last season, many expected the Knicks to get the top pick in the lottery. But they were saddled with the No. 3 choice, and they chose Zion Williamson's teammate RJ Barrett to potentially build around going forward with the rebuild.

As a freshman at Duke, Barrett averaged 22.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
