OP thought he had something when he bumped this thread too. Just walked into another L.
Regret Holmgreen Was A Bad Pick
- Thread starter Double Burger With Cheese
- Start date
Chet basically the prototype big you want in todays league. The rim protection, ability to switch, can shoot, and can even create a bit for himself. It was only his second year too and he came off an injury, only will get better
He was great tonight.
People expect every high draft pick to be an All-NBA player in their first or second season. That is not realistic at all. We've been spoiled to see some young players come into the NBA and reach incredible heights right away, but that's not always realistic.
Listen he will probably be productive but is OKC gonna give a guy with two pencils as legs a max extension??
Look at his frame
Me personally I wouldn't draft a dude that looks like that # 2 overall
He has barely played over 100 regular season games and next season I think he takes off to All Star Status. He might not have to get 25 a night playing with Shai and Jalen. But 20/10 with 3 blocks a night is more than feasible with an extra 5 minutes a night and a couple more shots a night. He still has finishing problems at the rim at times but that will come with time as he gets older. As long as he stays healthy he will be a perennial All Star/All NBA/All Defensive type of player and that should be plain as day to anyone with an unbiased opinion.

He was still nothing to write home about overall/had a solid game watching live, he did the job he was supposed to do with the help defense/weak side help/blocks though. Chet still has much to improve on IMO. Coli was saying dude was unicorn status coming out of College.
He missed over half the season with a Hip surgery ( and is still injured)
. He played about as great you'd expect a player to play after a major injury in season

He looked the same before the injury, he has much to prove IMO, considering how he was talked about coming into the league. Cats didn't give Cade the same curtiousy and he had less hype IMO, I'm just keeping it fair.He missed over half the season with a Hip surgery ( and is still injured)
