RJ might be the most underrated player in the league
I fw Williams too though. Probably because I’m a little Biased towards the Thunder because of you-know-who
raptor fans have no sense of context at all.. they just look at numbers .. JW is only a second year player while Rj been in the league for 5 years. Big difference. RJ remained stagnant forever now so of course ppls hype of him went down. However, he played great for the raps
Give me Barrett any day
RJ has higher floor but J Will has higher ceiling I think
I think RJ was getting his respect with the way he was playing on the Raptors. Between that and the olympics, many people seem to be much more optimistic about him now versus when he was back at the knicks.
You’re not gonna reverse your entire reputation in the league after a half season that most nba fans didn’t bother to watch.
Raptors need to make the playoffs and then people will notice.
defense exists
He’s 24
If he can continue his player with the raptors (and an 80% free throw percentage), his reputation will be vastly improved. But his was never any of the three you listed, he was a important piece in a trad for OG and earned a 25+ million dollar contract. The leagues upper management definitely rate RJ.
Rj is not good he shines on the raptors because they are terrible team with no direction. Put him on a quality team with a assigned role and watch him crumble
32 games vs an entire season? Kinda bad defence vs elite defence? 5th nba season vs 2nd nba season? Bottom 4 team in the east vs best team in the west?
I don’t agree with RJ being a toxic asset nor do I think Williams is top 20 or a future superstar. But this is a fucking dumb comparison
Didn’t RJ shoot 49.5% from the field last year? J Will is also much better from the line, gets double the steals, and turns it over less.
People are I think maybe not taking into account that the Knicks roster forced RJ to play a game that wasnt his optimal style.
I think we need to see what his consistency is like this year before we jump to conclusions
Damn this subs no fun anymore. Cant even push ridiculous propaganda about our own players now 🙁
Williams advanced stats are nuts plus his length and defense are a problem.
Jdub did that for a whole season on a the 1 seed. Rj did that for half a year on a rebuilder. Love Rj but he has to do this for a whole year before he can get compared to players of Williams’ calibre.
is post like these that make raptors look like idiots
🔥🔥
I can’t wait to see him ball out hopefully this entire season then people will start noticing
I’m Canadian but you can do the same thing for Shai and Tatum. Shai keeps getting put into these future of the league convos when he’s the same age as Tatum lol.

RJ stans are even worse than the OG fanboys
Honestly I’d rather have Jwill
