R.J. Barrett grabbed the rebound at rim level. He pushed the ball to halfcourt in only two dribbles and by the time he reached the center circle, he was already sizing up his target. This was Barrett’s debut appearance on Nike’s EYBL senior circuit, but the 16-year-old from Canada needed no introduction. He is the most decorated high school player in the world. (SB Nation)
