RJ Barrett is really a shooting guard. In fact, he won the award for the top SG in the ACC even though he really played a 2/3 wing and occasionally a point forward bringing the ball up. He and Rabb are playing different spots and wouldn't really have been in competition for minutes. Regardless, I'm hopeful that Rabb sticks for a long while. Hard not to root for that kid.

More a reflection of their need for a PG and an overall belief league-wide that Morant was the second best talent in the draft, I think.
