Sometimes, it’s a little too easy to see the potential in young NBA players.
Sure, the potential may be there. How likely are they to reach it? That’s a question NBA teams need to ask themselves before investing in a prospect.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will need to be mindful of that question. This is a young team with a historic number of first-round picks in upcoming drafts. They’ll need to choose wisely.
On the other hand, the New York Knicks have already invested in RJ Barrett.
Some might suggest that they’ve invested too much in him.
Could they send him to the Thunder this summer?
