After RJ Barrett’s 4 ½-season rollercoaster ended in New York, Carmelo Anthony called the third overall pick a “bland” player and personality who probably wanted to leave because he was the third wheel. “He’s just a bland player, bro,” Anthony said on his digital series show, “7PM in Brooklyn”, on Thursday. “That’s not a shot. That’s not disrespect. I ask a lot of people who are Knicks fans to see what they say, it’s just like, ‘He’s good, he gets it done sometimes, but he’s not an exciting player.’ You don’t know if he’s going to get 4 (points) or 26.” -via New York Post / January 13, 2024
