a little more cutting, spacing... just to make sure that he has room.
When Kawhi Leonard is back, the Raptors' offense changes, RJ Barrett said Oct. 10: "a little more cutting, spacing... just to make sure that he has room." If he's doubled, teammates stay available. Immanuel Quickley said Leonard already chimes in during film sessions.
When it's your country, it's a little bit of a different pride.
Lu Dort would pick Olympic gold over an NBA title. Toronto's RJ Barrett didn't pick: "When it's your country, it's a little bit of a different pride." A Toronto title would be different too, he said. From practice, on an injured teammate: "we'll see once he gets back."
I'm almost like overconfident of a person
"I'm almost like overconfident of a person," RJ Barrett said on Oct. 3, adding the Raptors' system "fits my game very well." He owned "some stupid shots in the 2nd half" but said the game beat practice: no "annoying, pesky, pesky teammates" trying to steal the ball.
