Zion is an otherworldly talent, but New Orleans will have to figure out the NBA fit for him when he is also 6'7" but weighs 284 pounds (!!!). Dude is definitely not a guard and probably not a wing in the NBA. He's also not the same kind of player as Lebron because he's not a ballhandler/facilitator (2 assists per game in college). Zion will probably need to be Charles Barkley and give up height every night against opposing PFs.
Would I take Zion over RJ? In a second. There are definitely some things with RJ that will make life easier though.
