Former Duke Star and Top NBA Prospect RJ Barrett Looks Incredibly Jacked in Latest Instagram Post
By Scott Rogust
All of the talk leading up to the 2019 NBA Draft will be about Zion Williamson and his eventual selection by the New Orleans Pelicans, who own the first overall pick. But we're here to talk about Williamson's college teammate, RJ Barrett.
The Duke freshman is a top-three draft prospect who is expected to go as high as second overall by the Memphis Grizzlies, with his basement hitting No. 3 with the New York Knicks.
If you're a fan of either team, you're going to like Barrett's latest Instagram post, where he looks incredibly jacked as he leaps up for a dunk.
Once the basketball season ends, players begin putting in extra work at the gym, to get ready for the draft. When you're a projected top-three pick, you've got even more drive and focus than pre-workout could ever give you.
Even though he played in Zion's shadow at Duke, Barrett was no slouch. Through 38 games this past season, he averaged 22.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists.
Long story short, RJ Barrett has earned some serious gains as the NBA Draft rapidly approaches.
