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.
