Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

I agree. I think his peak is Barkley who was pretty dang good. But the guy isn't going to be LeBron or some all time top 25-50 type player.

I think Zion will be the best player since Lebron. And he will take over the league from a marketing standpoint like MJ.
 
Barkley is top 20 on several lists.

Quickly....

MJ
Pippen
LBJ
Malone
Stockton
Kareem
Magic
Bird
Russell
Wilt
Cousy
Isaiah
KD
Curry
Klay
Hakeem
Shaq
Kobe
Havlicek
Duncan
Robinson
Vince
Kawhi
Ewing
Reggie
Oscar
Gasol
Payton
Wade
Iverson
Clyde
Dominique
McHale
Walton
Frazier

That's 37 in less than 5 minutes
 
Do you think he's top 20 all time? I don't. He might be top 50. Might.

I'd have him top 50. Not sure about top 20 though, especially since a lot of great players have come since he retired. But he was freaking amazing for a bunch of seasons and a MVP.

I agree that Pippen is the 2nd best of all-time :)

He'd be close.

I just don't think Zion will get to his level. He might have a couple dominant statistical seasons similar to Barkley, but I don't see him altering his game to succeed without the next level athleticism. Barkley was an absolute beast, but adapted over time.

It's even harder in today's game to adapt after you lose a step. If you can't hit the 3 consistently, it's tough.
