Well, this is the poster that think RJ Barrett is better than Zion.

RJ has really improved in his last 15 games in playmaking, shoot and when he attacks the rim.

Zion is very good (i just ranked him 2 behind Barett, I did not put Zion 10 or 11 either lol) but he still has a playstyle where i'm not sure it's suited to the current nba, especially in the playoffs.

He will have to have a reliable shooting. Moreover, he finishes all the time left hand when he attacks the rim. He will have to have a reliable right hand also.

The amount of sheer dumbassery and complete stupidity in that post is utterly staggering.

RJ Barrett is an inefficient second option with 52% true shooting. Zion is one of the most dominant scoring threats in the last 25 years shooting 65% true shooting and getting baskets basically at will against anyone. Not suited for the current NBA? GTFO. He shoots left because he fricking can! Because no one can stop him from going to his dominant hand, but he absolutely can finish right if he wants to. He’s done it plenty. Zion is a mini Shaq with point guard skills and vision. LMAO that such a player can’t exist in today’s NBA.

Frankly if I’m doing 2019 over, I’m not sure I wouldn’t be taking DeAndre Hunter, followed by some combo of Tyler Hero, and potentially Cam Johnson or Keldon Johnson over Barrett. With Zion and Morant still going 1 and 2. I might still slight lean Barrett at 3 for upside still, but on this team RJ is a third option. So how you then turn around and claim he is better than Zion and Morant blows my mind.
