Why potential No 1 pick in 2019 NBA Draft won’t play AAU ball this month

Posted Jul 12, 2017
R.J. Barrett is in the conversation for the best high school basketball player on the planet, but you won’t find him playing at any AAU event during the recruiting frenzy of July. After leading Canada to a gold medal in the FIBA U19 World Cup on Sunday in Egypt, the 6-foot-7 guard will shut it down for the remainder of the month and then announce his decision about reclassification sometime in August.
