    Chet is the guy for this team. Wouldn’t be mad at Paolo, but Chet offers so much more.

    Yes I have been saying he is like Boozer, but more skilled in the perimeter game.

    Side note Williams is playing Chet pretty well.

    I'm a Chet fan, but his body language and facial expressions remind me of Greg Hirsch from Succession.

    Agreed, impressed by Williams. Chet will be fine , he needs to shoot more and be confident.

    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.

    I’ve only tuned in for the last 5 game mins, but Chet looks timid right now.

    Timme is a YMCA hall of Famer!

    Timme is a player. He worked over Mobley last year also.

    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
