I think this comes down to Suggs has a higher floor while Barnes has a higher ceiling. Can you imagine Barnes, as a growing 6’8” elite athlete PG, what he could do if he develops a semblance of a jumper?
i think that’s why Suggs at this point isn’t the consensus #4 pic. Suggs we know will be a great scorer, but he’s only got decent size and isn’t a natural floor general. Barnes could be all those things, but chips has to fall in a lot of good directions.
At this point, I’m happy with either but prefer Suggs in light of our team
