Zag guards and SFs are also zeros when it comes to creating assists to him.
Chets a very good passer to if they would create stuff. They don't.
I ain’t seeing the tall skinny dude being all that

Yep. He's got about 10:22 to make a statement. If he doesn't, and Duke wins anyway, he'll have another game. If he shrinks in that one, there's no way he goes #1. I know people will say that you can't judge that much from one or two games, but it's about how he fares against better compe ion. If he looks bad in the next game (if there is one), he could easily go #3.
He’s not struggling with anything other than ty college refs.
If Chet gets into an open flow passing offense that knows how to utilize him he will be fine.
Some half court dina soar iso ball he won't.
I guess you didn't watch the game. There were many times he couldn't handle a rebound because he was too weak. He gets pushed around a lot, too. Very talented, but has the strength of a middle schooler.
Say that's true. Doesn't that sort of fly in the face of him being the across the board shoe-in for the #1 pick? If he has to land in the right situation, it seems like that pretty much means that he might not be the best fit for some teams. I agree with Mr. Body, he looked weak against Memphis, and it's going to be hard to find a place where he doesn't have to deal with some contact.
I think he better come up big in the next game, because if Jaylin Smith pushes him around, it's going to be a lot harder to pass on Jabari Smith. One of the things that makes Holmgren such a unicorn is that he piles up big rebound numbers. I just can't see him doing that against legit NBA big men. And if he puts on 40 lbs. will he still be able to shoot rainbows out of his... horn?
I thought both Holmgren and Duren didn’t perform to expectations. Holmgren as discussed below and Duren’s total inability to use his left hand really limits him. I am more and more liking Walker Kessler as the center to target.
I’m not worried about Chet. He needs to okay SF/PF in the NBA and paired with a defensive big. Other teams might be overly concern about his physique. I wish they would, and let him land to the Spurs
Underwhelmed by Chet’s performance last night. Seems like a real non-factor out there aside from a block or two. Duren looked interesting, but can also see why he’s a late lotto prospect. Gives me the Julius Randel/t-Rex arm vibe.
Kesslers blocks will not translate to the NBA. He isn’t laterally or vertically gifted.
Duren is only about a month older than Primo was last year. You have to do projections with a player that young.
Dude….Duren’s wing span is 7’5”
Exactly. He’s the rare player that actually makes Poku look jacked. In fairness, he’s not a C and will probably be a SF in the pros.
Fair enough, maybe I’m just reacting to how raw he seems on the offensive side of the ball— honestly I haven’t seem him play (aside from highlights) before yesterday. Don’t know much about his D, but feel like he projects to be a replacement level rim runner type with limited outside game.
I’m getting Bam Adebayo vibes in him, not a superstar but could be a multi-All Defensive guy. 10 years ago he could pair with Poeltl at PF. But with his limited range? He could really help Spurs interior defense. Drafting him could mean moving on from Poeltl and maybe move Zollins in the starting PF position.
AKA as fouled last night.
4 blocks
Memphis made run with him out.
Zags 7-17 FTs at one point.
Yes he'll need to strengthen. Only 19.
forget about him, we aint gonna have a chance to draft him, spurs aint understand how rebuilding should look like
I watched the whole game versus Memphis and Chet wasn’t as bad as some are making it seem.
he is really tough to be as skinny as he is and he fearless defensively. Early on I thought his frame would be an issue but so far in college he has done a really good job of handling himself against bigger and stronger players. He is far from perfect but the guy is fearless and doesn’t mind mixing it up in the paint.
Memphis tried to go at him and most of the time they failed offensively. Lol. Him and Duren were in foul trouble a good amount of the game but I honestly thought Chet was more impactful than Jalen in last nights game.
No one is saying he's bad, and he does like physicality, which is huge. But clearly he's not very strong and he struggled to impact the game very much. To me, he projects as a mobile Sean Bradley with a much, much better batch of skills. I would still take him #1.
lmao
he had a big impact on the game when he wasn’t in foul trouble. Memphis likes to go to the hoop. They had issues a lot (not all because he got dunked on once but it was due to a perimeter guy getting beat and he still contested the dunk!) of the time Chet was In the game getting good shots within a set offense. Gonzaga doesn’t have the greatest defenders but they are decent because of how much ground the dude covers defensively.
I am not saying he is a can’t miss prospect but dude would be really good at the 4 with our current roster. He could play with Jakob and would be good in my opinion. Sadly we most likely will not get a chance to draft him.
I really don't see such an issue with Chet's physique, as long as staying healthy is not an issue-- put him next to a solid center and let him be a free safety type of PF defensively, and he'll be blocking shots all over the place. That formula has worked brilliantly for Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen this year, and Chet has blocked significantly more shots as a freshman than even Mobley did.
Nah, you know, I actually watched the game instead of jacking off to whatever fantasy you were creating for yourself. He definitely struggled. The game was won by Timme and that shooter dude. Holmgren struggled
Reading comprehension isn’t the strongest with you I see and it’s sad that instead of having a civil conversation you went the route that you did but it’s to be expected on this site. SMH.
I never said in any of my post that he was the reason Gonzaga won the game. I agree Timme was the MVP of the game and Nemhardt was big also but Chet was good defensively and was a factor on that side of the ball when he was on the court not in foul trouble. Both Jalen and Chet were in foul trouble but between the two Chet was more impactful and overall defensively when Chet was on the floor he was impactful for Gonzaga.
EXACTLY.
Mobley is more athletic (and a little bigger) but him and Chet are very similar in my opinion and I think Chet could have the same impact as Mobley in the NBA. Of course Chet needs to gain some muscle mass but I think if he adds to much it might cause him to lose some of his quickness.
time will tell though.
He was getting bullied a bit so hopefully he can fill out some because talent is nothing he lacks.
