And it was the third time he’s scored at least 23 points.
Per @bball_ref,
The last Knicks rookie to score 23+ points three or more in his first 16 career contests was.... Patrick Ewing in 1985
RJ Barrett (age 20) and Immanuel Quickley (age 21) combined to tally:

49 points,
9 rebounds,
5 assists,
7 made 3-pointers
in a 20-point blowout victory over the Cavs.
Yes, Knicks fans, there a reason to believe New York may have found their backcourt of the future.
