Convince me duke wouldn’t be better without Barrett

What do you mean or?

It’s a joke some of my friends say to each other. You stupid? Or just dumb?

He means that he is both... no need for “or”

He's still the second most efficient player on Duke's team. Nowhere near Zion efficient, but who is? Here are the PER numbers of the 8 Duke players that average double-digit minutes.

Zion Williamson: 41.8
RJ Barrett: 24.9
Javin DeLaurier: 20.4
Marques Bolden: 19.1
Tre Jones: 17.8
Alex O'Connell: 14.9
Jack White: 14.5
Cam Reddish: 14.1

Does anyone really want to say they wouldn't take RJ on their team if they could have him?

I'd be happy with White or O'Connell.

Imagine Zion on a team without him

They wouldn't be as good. As much as RJ shoots, he protects a guy like Zion. Plus, I mean really? He(RJ) is probably going to be 1, 2 or 3 in the draft. He's explosive. Can get to the rim at will. Now....a better question would have been:

Imagine if RJ didn't take as many shots.

He wouldn’t score as many points? : )

Barrett is a black hole
