And RJ Barrett, across the next four to seven games, can make a loud statement to those in the front office who didn’t ship him to Cleveland.
It’s not a fair comparison. It’s never been a fair comparison. It’s never going to be a fair comparison. They are different players. They do different things. They have different strengths. They have different weaknesses. So that means this is not a fair debate.Well, as noted sports columnist Billy Shakespeare once quoted an old swingman named Bassanio : “I like not fair terms and a villain’s mind.
And for much of this season, that has been a matter of some profound conversation, since Mitchell has played at a level in Cleveland that will almost certainly earn him a spot on the All-NBA first team while Barrett were grinding out another season at Madison Square Garden, one that landed them four games behind the Cavs in the Eastern Conference roster of merit.Want to catch a game?

“I’m serious about winning,” Barrett said after the Knicks closed out their regular season Sunday with a ho-hum loss to the Pacers in which everyone inside the Garden — players, fans, probably everyone but the obsessively in-the-moment coach, Tom Thibodeau — was already focused on the Cavaliers, hoping this dance in the NBA’s postseason can go better for the Knicks than it did two years ago against the Hawks.
But Barrett is another. It was a decidedly up-and-down season for Barrett, who regressed slightly in points and rebounds and 3-point shooting but improved significantly in both his free-throw shooting and his 2-point shooting, reflective of his commitment to take the ball to the basket more, and be more aggressive and assertive inside the arc.
