Only A Sophomore, R.J. Barrett Could Be Best High School Player in Nation
Posted Dec 22, 2016
R.J. Barrett is only a sophomore at Montverde (FL) Academy, but he may be the best player in high school at the moment. Montverde coach Kevin Boyle, who has coached lottery picks Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, believes Barrett is No. 1 in the nation. R.J. isn’t focused too heavily on recruiting right now, but by spring or summer that could change.
