In Barrett's current iteration barring drastic improvement it wouldn't be hard for Grimes to be the better, more impactful player on the floor.

Quickley and Toppin last year with the higher PER, box plus minus (on both ends), win shares, value over replacement, LEBRON, RAPTOR, RAPM than Barrett with shorter leashes.

put the cocaine downIn Barrett's current iteration barring drastic improvement it wouldn't be hard for Grimes to be the better, more impactful player on the floor.
he's older than rj and averaged 6 points as a rookie. the moment he faced nba athleticism and length he looked pretty average in the summer league
him trying moves that wouldnt work against nba competition means nothing to me.
Him being a 3&D++ guy is optimal. you making these grandiose statements cause rjs game isnt pretty enough to you is gross.
rj will improve with a real point guard. hell, he looked good with any point guard on the court that had a pulse and had a semblance of knowing what they were doing. rose, quickley...it'll only get better from here

Grimes has the stroke
of a perennial 40% 3PT and can thrive off-ball. RJ is a below average shooter.Grimes has the better handle with a quick twitch decisiveness and ability to be low and elusive, hang dribble or hesi into the pull up as opposed to RJ who is usually stiff and upright, loose handler, with a high dribble and struggles to blow by defenders when he can't overpower them with his strength. Grimes footwork and fundamentals are just flat out better it is not debatable.
Not many attempts but Grimes has dare I say more craft around the basket and seemed to have finished every lay-up attempt in traffic we have seen him take meanwhile Barrett is one of the worst finishers in the game.
Grimes was our best perimeter defender last season and is better than RJ on D especially off-ball.
If Grimes tops out as a 3&D player who can attack closeouts and be a secondary-tertiary playmaker that would already bring more impact than whatever the hell it is RJ is bringing to the table.
A Klay or Bane type player>>mini Julius Randle

I dunno cause I did say Frank Ntilikina sucked. My worse take was on Kevin Knox.

Grimes is older than Barrett by a month 
and NBA experience is a more valuable indicator coming into year 4 if this guy doesn't break out this is who he is...
Grimes is the one in only his second season whose the poster that said H20 should give him some post up lessons
