Coli poll

Holmgren, 19, averaged 14.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 3.7 blocks for Gonzaga. Holmgren shot 60% from the field and 39% on 3-pointers. Holmgren said he told the Gonzaga coaches to "coach him hard" during his season there, and believes he benefited immensely from the experience with a deeply talented roster and a Hall of Fame-caliber coach, Mark Few.

His comp is KD

after kd’s struggles, I would think twice, especially if you have other franchise players in this draft

did he play on the perimeter as much as KD did in college? Was he handling the ball as much as KD? I ask bc KD was every bit of a 3 in college, handled the ball plenty and was on the perimeter a lot.

I don't think he will be a bust. But I don't think his stats will justify his high draft status. What I mean is Chet might put up numbers like 13 and 7 but still have a major impact. I don't see him putting numbers like most high drafted All star big men (Blake Griff, Ant Davis, Towns, Jokic, Embiid, etc). The one thing that would worry me is that white american players haven't panned out as superstars in the NBA.

Chet skinny as hell but he’s not soft. He’ll battle and be put on alot of posters but doesn’t have many holes in his game other than his weight. He’ll eventually put on weight with NBA workout regime and diet.

I'm sure they said the same thing about Durant. Some guys just have a skinny frame and that's ok.
