Too bad the Knicks don’t have anyone we love to do a trade and get them closer to Toppin 

#6 for #8, Frank N and #27.

Personally I don’t like RJs game . He’s not very good to me. I would rather keep our pick and take whatever rookie falls to us.

Same. RJ is a little overhyped to me. Heart of a Lion though.

Dude cmon rj would easily be the #1 pick in this draft.

I’m not big on him either but let’s be real here he’d easily be our second best prospect behind Trae.

Yeah nah.  He's a shooting guard that can't shoot and isn't athletic enough to get to the rim all that well.

There's a reason many think Mitchell Robinson (and his no-offense having self) is their best prospect.

The fact that the Knicks are all in on Toppin should raise some red flags for anyone who wants him.

I am being honest and I disagree. RJ is very overrated until proven otherwise just my opinion . Mind you he’s just 1 year in the league but even at Duke I didn’t like his game. He doesn’t impress me and I definitely disagree with second best prospect on this team after Trae, that would be Cam.

hell cam could very well surpass Trae shall he truly hit his ceiling in my opinion.

RJ is ok but I wouldn’t be shocked if he doesn’t live up to his draft number. He reminds me of a poor mans Derozan. His best ability offensively is to drive yet he’s not a good finisher and wasn’t in college either he just took a bunch of shots.

Neither do I , mainly because they never fit well at duke I highly doubt they fit well at the pro level

No, I don't like his game that much either. He didn't impress at all in his rookie season. Cam showed continual improvement the healthier he got during the season away from the injuries at Duke. RJ looked lost at times out there all season long.

And if you think RJ is better than Collins then I don't know what to say. RJ is behind Trae, Collins, Cam, Hunter AND Red Velvet to me.

I wouldn’t say he’s not athletic lol...he’s athletic but he’s not jumping out of the arena athletic like the media tried to make him seem. Edwards on the other hand is very athletic despite some of the criticism he gets. Not to compare the two but with RJ I personally don’t see a star level player there.

him not being able to shoot also is and has always been a huge concern

RJ is basically Derozan before he got they mid range jumper and hell that’s probably to nice of a comparison for RJ and a insult to Derozan as the athleticism is far and apart between the two 

[Dean Walker]

Lmaooo the rj hate is real.

Agree to disagree I guess.

I think rj's best position may be 4, honestly.   Edwards' issue is he's only an athlete, not a basketball player.  I know there's like 6 of you that wanna fight me on that so imma log out for a while.  Ha

It's not just here.  Read around on him and the Knicks prospects from outsiders.

If Hawks had drafted RJ somehow I suspect their opinion of him would be slightly different.

RJ is one of those dudes that was a bust the moment he was talked about as a top 10 prospect. No shot, no athleticism, mediocre handle. Ain't his fault, unreasonable expectations, weird scouting. He'd be better as a 4 probably tbh, next to Robinson.

A bust? After one year? Lets see where he is after year three. Of course, even if he is putting up numbers it will be readily dismissed as "empty calories." Tough crowd around here.
