LOL, I could see Scottie in the grandmama dress but I that's about where the comparison would end.

Coming from LJ2, that hurts. lol. But seriously, Larry Johnson was kind of the first wave of do-it-all power forwards. He could post-up, shoot, dribble and pass. Defense is another story, but you could count on LJ2 for some blocks and steals. Of course, body type was different, but both LJ and Scottie use their frame to great effect (i.e. bully ball).
Not going to make any statements though. Scottie is evolving so quickly we could be comparing him to Steph next year

I'll accept "any big forward that played in 1992 or earlier"
Seriously, it's tough to find a good comp for Barnes. I've always leaned into a young Lamar Odom (right down to the funky looking hook/push shot), though, he isn't as polished as Odom was in terms of his perimeter game but is more of a presence inside.
Pippen had more finesse to his game and was more of a perimeter player, whereas, current Barnes operates better inside than off the dribble from the perimeter. Not sure about that one yet. I don't get the Draymond Green comparison at all unless it's defensively but there are lots of bigger guys now around the league guarding multiple positions (hell, Toronto has 3 or 4 of them alone). Comparing anyone to Magic is tough cause he was not only a generational player but completely unique as well.

Hahaha. If Cade is ahead of Scottie in your "rookie ladder" then you have no idea what the hell you're talking about period. I'm not even being homer here.

One of my friends says he looks like rookie Charles Barkley, so there may be something to that!
