I'm a Chet fan, but his body language and facial expressions remind me of Greg Hirsch from Succession.
That 7'7" wingspan and height combined with 240-250 lbs can be bothersome. I'm guessing Chet hasn't seen that often. Paolo is guarding Chet now a lot with Williams on Timme.
For those late to the party, before cramping Paolo was dominating first half. He had half of Duke's points and took over. Chet had early foul trouble but has quietly gotten back up to 16pts 7 boards and 3 blocks.
Paolo is deserving of all the praise he gets. His movements and size are Lebron like, he just isn’t close to the athlete Lebron is. Boozer/Randle with better handles is a good comp. Chet is KG/KD hybrid. Opinions didn’t change from this game. Chet has a higher ceiling, Paolo the higher floor.
Bigger Carmelo is actually a good comp too. He doesn’t really seem like a true power forward. More like a big 3.
Branchero is Carmelo Anthony in Amare' Stoudemire's body. Chet is Pau Gasol (in terms of offensive impact, not playstyle) with Andrei Kiralinko's length and defensive instincts. I'd be happy with both.
If Banchero had Amare athleticism and length he would be hands down the best prospect. Maybe one of the best ever. Chet closest comp is KG
