It's kinda hard to judge what a trade might look like cause there are so many variables still in play, like we have no idea who's gonna be picking top 5, if there's gonna be a team with a top 5 and top 10 pick, or if anyone else distinguishes themselves as the year goes on
I think it's not totally blasphemous to say trading back might be a good idea, even if it means losing Zion. To me, he's like I said, and A-class prospect, I've comped him to Larry Johnson, maybe Barkley at his absolute peak if everything goes right, but more realistically he's a Larry Johnson type. That's not an insult, he's clearly the best prospect at this moment and worthy of a #1 pick (unlike say, 2013 when there really wasn't anyone worthy of a #1 pick at the time), but he's not good enough for me to say there's no package that I'd trade him for
I think barkley is his floor, the kid is bigger, possibly stronger, and way more athletic , not to mention a better passer than Barkley.
Barkley is his floor
His floor is an MVP, HOF caliber player
You're either overrating Zion or underrating Barkley, or both
Barkley was a freak in college. At 6'4" and 250 lbs., he defied gravity. As does Zion. Can Zion pass like Charles? Charles was a very good passer.
