RJ will NOT struggle once he gets in the League; he was the #1 HS player for a reason, plus, he has a good head on his shoulders and is very level headed. If there's a leak in his game, he (and his *team) will find it and fix it before we do. Let us not forget, he's still only 3 games into his freshman season.
* his father was a pro (Rowan) and his godfather is Steve Nash.

barrett, i don't really get excited watching him but he seems like a guy that probably deserves a pretty high pick because he's obv got some craft, and no huge holes in his game. that said the athleticism is good not great, and he is obviously a bit of a chucker - 40usg, 51ts is very lol esp on a stacked team like duke
Good to see these numbers, but again, remember, he's only 3 games in.
