Barrett averaged 22.6 points and 7.6 rebounds for Duke, which lost to Michigan State in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. He was one of 24 Canadians in the NCAA Tournament. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said Barrett, whose Godfather is Steve Nash, could end up being the best Canadian ever. “R.J. can be as good as anybody coming from Canada,” Coach K said last month. Meantime, Barrett could become the sixth top-3 pick for Montverde (FL) Academy coach Kevin Boyle since 2011. Only Coach K has more. Follow Adam Zagoria on Twitter And like ZAGS on Facebook
