I'm sorry, but absolutely no. This is why looking at stats alone, clouds your judgement.
Berardi, is like plenty of these so called "promising strikers" we saw in Belgium. They are quick and will capitalise of poor defending. Kinda explains why Berardi tends to score in baskets instead of 1/2 / game.
He's fast. Limited technique, passing, vision and dribbeling. Decent shot. Will score goals. Thats Berardi. He's a fine league player for a decent team. Put him against a big defence and he's useless cause he lacks the neccecary ability to unlock defences.
Pjaca. Very fast player with a high workrate and stamina. Technically very good, good close controll, and complete dribbeling player. Current juventus player with the highest chance of winning a 1v1. Just watch it. Pjaca close to, or in, the box with 1 player and a little room and he will get past it. he needs to find his spot and adapt, but the greatness is here.
Pjaca's dribbeling style isnt just fancy the shitfuck. Its very effective. Feits or stepovers and opposite of where defender goes. And he isnt one dimensional, he'll literally make the defender put his foot down and picks the best direction, either outside or cutting inside, doesnt matter. Thats the mark of a great dribbeling player who knows where to go to.
Against spain, he had his natural free role down the wing (but the right one). He was terrorising their entire flank and created all kind of issues. What an amazing performance that was tbh.
Here is the deal. When facing a good team you'll have little chances. or face a game completely locked up. Players with the ability to take out players and dive into the box, are what can unbalance a perfectly positionned defence.
Berardi wouldnt do shit.
He'd be a decent sub. Pjaca is a future star.

our best dribbler in the team last few years was Bobby Pereyra, before him Giovinco, both were capable of going past anyone on 1v1, did it do much good? it's not like Pjaca has demonstrated he has a good end product and his work rate is questionable, at least according to Allegri, I'd wait a bit before calling him a future star and Berardi a decent sub
the scenario you mentioned might well be true, but atm it's equally possible Pjaca becomes a Miccoli and Berardi becomes a Vieri
