Who is better right now?
Who are you taking going forward?

I'd take Cade going forward without hesitation. Right now roughly the same so I'm having trouble deciding between poll options. I guess I'll give the nod to Barrett since Cade is still figuring out how to play NBA defense

Better now as in this season prolly Rj but Cade has turned it on and figured it out. Cade is a generational talent and Rj will just be a good player for a while prolly make a couple all star teams at most. No brainer long haul

idk, i'm v bias and rj has averaged 24 ppg his last 35 games -- he has to improve his efficiency but he's finally learned to score in many ways.

if cade has elite athleticism then obviously him but if he's like rj athleticism then lets revisit this in a few years.

They are probably about the same in terms of impact currently but Cade being a rookie and RJ being in his 3rd year makes Cade the better choice for me.

RJs problem for me is that he just doesn't seem to do anything well other than scoring and he probably never will. Cade already has a great feel for the game and his ability to control offense and pace is pretty impressive for a rookie.

RJ is quite a bit better when looking at the season as a whole.

Cade has significantly higher upside. He can be a 1B [Maybe 1A] playmaker on a good team once he hits his prime. Its a level RJ will never be able to reach.
