RJ Barrett is a pick n' roll maestro for the first time in his career (Video Essay)
Briefly

When it comes to gravity with the ball in hand, Barrett is pulling defenders everywhere. It's part of the reason why the Raptors shoot so much better on C&S threes with Barrett making the pass - they're better shots with more clearance against contests.
One final wrinkle that the Raptors lean into as well, and credit needs to go to Darko Rajakovic for this, is the off-ball cutting that the Raptors employ in their offense.
An insane stat: per Synergy, the Raptors have scored off as many cuts on Barrett pick n' rolls this season, as the Knicks did in Barrett's last 169 games.
