New York Knicks rookie RJ Barrett has been given a glimpse of what it feels like to be introduced at Madison Square Garden.

You can just see the emotions on his face. The young athlete can't stop smiling.

Selected third overall in the 2019 NBA Draft, the hopes and dreams of Knicks fans have been placed on Barrett's shoulders, especially now that it looks like the team won't be able to sign All-Star forward Kevin Durant this summer.

The 19-year-old forward was once regarded as the best collegiate player in the United States, and there are still some who believe that he's the best player in this year's draft despite the fact that Zion Williamson and Ja Morant were picked ahead of him.

Barrett has made it clear that he intends to win the Rookie of the Year award next season, which is a good sign for the Knicks. Their masterplan of building a superteam may not come true this summer, but they have a potential superstar that can take over the league within the next five years if developed properly.

But even if the Knicks sign KD, the two-time Finals MVP won't play for the entire 2019-20 season, which means that the spotlight will be solely focused on Barrett.

Barrett should know that the Knicks are more than just the bright lights. As a team that has long been a laughingstock of the league, they are determined to bounce back and become successful.

With that said, he should prepare himself. After all, the next time he would be  introduced at MSG, thousands of fans will be watching.
