2 years agoNew York Knicks forward RJ Barrett agreed to a four-year, $107 million extension with the team on Tuesday. With incentives, he could earn as much as $120 million. Last season, the 22-year-old averaged a career-high 20.0 points while adding 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Barrett's new deal is somewhat surprising, primarily since the Jazz had expressed interest in him during trade discussions surrounding superstar guard Donovan Mitchell. Although a move may still happen down the line, the extension will certainly make things challenging. Nevertheless, the 2019 No. 3 overall can be a viable fantasy option no matter where he's suiting up. However, his lack of consistency has been a burden for fantasy managers. His three-point shooting has improved, but there is also work to be done in that area as well.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
