SA's higher burst is still indisputable, and personally as an advocate for SA, I would say the amount of trouble one would have as SA in teamfights depends on one's competency and the level of the game they're in.

To put it short, if one's confident, I would say SA has higher carry potential than Rhaast, but by very different means. SA's pick potential is absurd, even when the enemies are grouped up to about 2 or 3. This can be useful when the enemy carry may be fed, but hasn't bothered to pick up any defensive items. Smart usage of Shadow Step and Ghostblade almost guarantees a kill, if not both summs and a large portion of their health, allowing for some clutch windows of opportunity for large objectives.

Rhaast is able to make up for his shortcomings with straight up sustain and hard CC, whilst SA has to make up for his by thinking ahead of time. Especially when one's the most valuable asset on their team as SA, as trading 1 for 1 would definitely not be worth.
