I see Barrett potential to that of Demar Derozan (without the defensive limitations and a better 3 point shot).

Zion: far more raw talent, more athletic
RJ: the more skilled player, will have the necessary skills to translate to the NBA game and stay long-term.
Zion is 6'6 and 285 pounds, so he's physically destroying everyone in his path. But, his range needs to improve and has to build more of a versatile offensive repertoire to counter a lot of defences, which will happen in the NBA. Against men during the Canada Basketball stint, RJ made the right reads, had counters to defences, and made some spectacular plays -- he's also deceptively strong.
Now, I'm not trying to sound bias here -- I do think Williamson is far more talented than anyone in the upcoming class, even to Barrett, however, as high as his ceiling is, Zion will also have a serious risk. Apparently he's not in "conditioned" shape.
After seeing these athletic monsters come into the league and bust really quick, I'm a little more skeptical on Zion, even though he is a fc!$ing specimen.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

I have a feeling that the pendulum will swing back the other way and guys will want to compete against each other again, but there’s a chance that the buddy buddy aau mentality never goes away. Hopefully I’m right.

My only concern with Zion is his weight. He needs to lose 10-20lbs imo.

They got it from the Fultz/Tatum trade.
