Carmelo Anthony Labels RJ Barrett as 'Bland', Praises Anunoby
Knicks See Success Post-Trade, Winning Five of Six Games
- Carmelo Anthony, in his digital series show '7 PM in Brooklyn', referred to RJ Barrett, the former New York Knicks player, as a 'bland player'.
- Anthony believes that OG Anunoby, who was traded to the Knicks in exchange for Barrett, is a better fit for the team as he does not demand to be a part of the offense like Barrett did.
- Barrett, who was the highest Knicks draft pick since Patrick Ewing, averaged 18.1 points per game in his Knicks career but shot only 42%.
- Since joining the Toronto Raptors, Barrett has averaged 21.8 points while shooting 59.3% in his first six games.
- The Knicks have won five of six games since the trade, with increased production from Brunson and Randle and the defensive presence of Anunoby.
