I don't hate the Larry Johnson comp in principal, but most of it obviously stems from the heavy frame and athletic ability. I do agree with his notes, honestly. I don't know, I get why people think Zion is a slam dunk prospect but I really don't like his lack of length and the non existent jump shot. It just seems like such a giant risk to me. While Barrett doesn't have the same ceilling as Zion I would frankly be much more confident drafting him than Zion.
Are their floors much different though? There's maybe even a case that Barrett's floor is lower or more likely than Zion's too.
Inefficient ball handlers that struggle defensively are a dime-a-dozen.
When you're picking at the top of the draft, you have to go with the upside play more often than not imo. And that's without factoring in where each's floor is at.
