He doesn't have more upside at all. He is less of a risk though. Zion truly is game changing talent. Barrett will be great though and a more balanced franchise would prefer him. The league doesnt have many Zion's but there are quite a few Barrett's.

Ok the thing I’d take away from this thread is that they both play for duke who will win it all if Zion returns

A) I have said this all year long
B) To clarify, RJ is a better basketball player than Zion RIGHT NOW, but clearly Zion is the most intriguing and most potential of any player in the country due to his sheer size and athleticism.
C) There are several other better basketball players right now, but don’t have as much upside / size / NBA potential so won’t be drafted as high

Can’t remember a national championship team with such little experience, such poor 3pt shooting, and such poor FT shooting. So unless all 6 tournament games get called like they’re at Cameron Indoor, I’d be surprised to see Duke win it all.

No rings, but longest NBA career ever. So I’m confused, what point are you trying to make?

Just because this is the new hot take everywhere doesn’t make it so. Zion is superior. No chance in hell a team passes on Zion for Barrett. I’d lay my sack on it. Just like I did for the Pats win. Barrett is solid but he isn’t Zion special.

That's why it's called March Madness, they could plow through the first 2 rounds only to fall to a team like LSU/ Villanova in the 3rd. Teams that supposedly had the best talent didn't even make it past the first round last year

More upside? Lol
Barrett has 0% bust potential.
Zion has some.
But the upside is not even debatable.

Exactly. No one is turning down the potential once in a lifetimer for the bring your lunch pail to work guy.
retarded analysis, Barrett upside is demarr derozan at his VERY BEST, period. You would be retarded to draft RJ Barrett who is a talent you can find anywhere in the NBA, there are shit tons of players like RJ Barrett in the nba and there's only 1 ZION WILLIAMSON. you'd be so dumb to pass the opportunity of a transcendent talent like ZION for someone who you can find anywhere in NBA like RJ.... come on use your brain.

Zion has heavy feet, they will fail him by 5th year and he will have weight issues
I would not pick him 1

Zion not only has out of this world jumping ability, his quickness is just as amazing. I’ve seen guards not being able to stay in front of him. He’s shooting 68% at 21 ppg. He’s this generation Shaq.

who plays like Zion today? how would larry johnson or shawn kemp do in the nba today? okafor and parker (coincidentially also duke players) have posted excellent numbers consistently and are basically considered worthless by league GM's....... the game has changed so much in the past 5 years. you really need to fit the style (i can think of a couple of exceptions but they aren't remotely like Zion).
also, college basketball for top draft picks is about playing against players who are far inferior. i would worry that zion falls into this category too.

I saw him play at the World Qualifiers over the summer.. he's a guard isn't he? You're comparing him to forwards?
