How do they compare?
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

If you can look past raw box it's not even close. 21 Zion wouldn't even be a top5 Barkley season.

I still like the Barkley comp for Zion if he can somehow stay healthy but Zion definitely wasn't as good as peak Barkley yet last year.

1990 Barkley had an absurd +12.4 rTS. Better passer too.
