Jabari has great range on his jumper and he's an excellent perimeter defender. I don't think he does anything else particularly well. Chet is my choice despite his skinny frame.
If we take Chet and bulk him up to 225 230… we’re getting a better version of Giannis… Giannis came into the league 190 with no skills at all. Chet atleast already has the skills just needs the bulk.
Last starting PF I can remember isn't shorter than 6'6" I can remember is Scola. Oh wait, we had Ryan Anderson.
Good stuff, thanks. I'll check him out. Definitely like the improved three point shooting, in this current era it would take a extremely special guard who can't hit the three consistently and be a star or superstar. I wonder if he has a handle and can consistently shake defenders in isolation, I'll look when I have time.
It's funny the complaint used to be that the big guys were only 6ft 9-7 ish so then the rockets said we can do shorter lol
If rockets get jabari or Chet and Mobely ends up being a better player on top of Ivey ending up being a better player then green then we will see an collective mind explosion on this page the magnitude of which we have never seen
While Holmgren is very underweight for the 5 he plays alongside Drew Timme who is another big. It's Holmgren who plays the perimeter oriented role. He takes 3s, handles the ball even in transition, and makes entry passes. I think he starts his career at the 4 in the NBA and stays there if he can't gain weight.
And you will see the same hype of the wrong player again and again next next draft. The only way is to be forced to take Ivey or Griffin and that is with the 4th or 5th pick. I do hope that this past draft was deep, some guys like Kuminga need more time to develop.
Comparing him with Mobley who made a similar transition, people thought he was too skinny at 35 lbs heavier than Holmgren. Holmgren who will never add weight, doesn't have the frame for it either. Zhou Qi looks like a strongman next to Holmgren. It's a no for me dawg.
