Right before the calendar turned over to 2024, the Toronto Raptors made perhaps the first significant trade of this NBA season by receiving RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a second-round draft pick from the New York Knicks for OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa.

While both teams have seemingly received a boost following this deal, the Knicks appear to have benefitted the most, as they immediately went on a five-game winning streak.Image

However, on an individual basis, Barrett has been doing very well in his new surroundings, and Basketball Reference pointed out that in his six games with Toronto, he’s averaging 21.8 points a game, and his efficiency has been through the roof.
