RJ BARRETT STATS VS GRIZZLIES PRO
Let's begin by noting Barrett just celebrated his 22nd birthday, and the counting stats he's been able to rack up over his first three pro seasons, at such a young age, are jaw-dropping and place him in elite company. More on that in a bit let's first talk about Barrett's value based on his production over the first three years of his NBA career. However, providing context to those salary figures is vital, specifically as they relate to the rising salary cap. Here's what the annual breakdown of that max extension would look like:Īt first glance, those astronomical numbers may appear nonsensical for a player that has not yet sniffed an All-Star berth. Under a max extension (assuming he doesn't make an All-NBA team next season, which would bump his salary up to 30% of the cap), Barrett would earn $193 million over five years, beginning in 2023-24. The Knicks have until October 17th, the day before the start of the 2022-23 season, to reach an agreement. Three members of Barrett's draft class - Ja Morant, Zion Williamson and Darius Garland - have already inked max deals.
