Chet Holmgren declares for 2022 NBA draft. Projected #1 pick.

[PortCityProphet]

Dude is skinny

But at the same clip he's strong as fukk

Strong to who?
It took him forever to establish position. Then every time he was in the post he gave up a ton of space at contact.
Idk where he'll play in the league but he bet not be put in the post or his coach failing him out the gate.

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.

This was said about Porzingis, and it never happened, or he couldn't put on enough to reach NBA-level strength. Chet has no shoulders which tells me he'll never fill out the way needs to be effective.

 

[Organic Trees]

Our starting SG

 

[GunRanger]

He will be a better Porzingis

 

[FishNGrits]

He needs to build his body up but the kid has shown he a straight hooper.



I personally like Paolo Banchero at number one but hey I ain’t no scout.

Porzingis has gained weight. He doesnt need it though.

Theres no back down center he has to worry about. Chet's agility makes him far better for modern NBA defense. And on offense, he'll be quicker than most centers and can shoot

People do realize that he’s going to play the 4 and not the 5 long term right?

He has gained weight, but like I said, not enough.

Jokic and Embiid aren't back down centers? And regardless, every center or PF does not have to play like it's 1995, this is a contact/running+jumping sport and a 7'1" 200 lb player is going to have issues keeping up with this at the NBA level.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

By far the most skilled player in this draft (no offense to Jabari) but he really shouldn’t see the court until he gains some more weight and muscle. I still would take him number 1

If this was 10-15 years ago, I'd agree. In today's game his height will force him to play the 5 since the next tallest guy will likely be a 6'7-6'8" SF masquerading as a 4 like most teams.

 

[Trojan 24]

His comp is KD

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

KD was a monster compared to this dude

 

[CarltonJunior]

Please don’t wind up in Orlando

fukk that

Orlando needs every bit of talent they can get, I want them great again

 

[malbaker86]

Is he a "put him on any team and he'll improve them immediately" talent? I don't think so but I think he can be close or a 20 ppg scorer in the right system. May need a few seasons to reach his FULL potential

 

[Trot LaRoc]

He will be solid....16/8/2 blks by year 3
Comp to me is a skinnier Mobley

The KD comps make no sense, KD is just a super tall wing....Chet doesnt have wing level handles or shot

He needs to add weight but even tho he looks anorexic, he held up and wasnt usually getting rag dolled

I dont think he will be an Allstsr but he can be an impact role player as a starter

Id take him over Smith....Smith gives me Rashard Lewis vibes....1 dimensional tall shooter

Banchero seems like a black hole gunner who doesnt play D


Not mega impressed by this draft

Chet better pray he doesnt go to Magic

Every team doesn’t play that style of basketball though so he’ll be fine.
