    Is he Brazilian? I looked it up and it said he's an Italian stallion (mixed with African American)


    You know, Tilman himself is also an Italian stallion

    Until he really "makes" it to the NBA, you can't say that. There are lots if not almost every year of other supposedly good players but when you put them in NBA became busts.

    The ball dominant forward with little playmaking for others and average defense is not an archetype I want to invest a top pick in.

    Personally, I’d go for Chet or Jabari.

    So the 7 foot skinny guy who can't be a go-to scorer is the archetype for what?

    I think you underestimate the playmaking skills of Banchero the only guy who has the all-around skill level is Smith but Banchero has dominant offensive skills, unlike Chet.

    Is Chet a guy you can give him the ball when the clock is going down to get a shot? He might develop that but he does not have that now.

    Yea I can say he is a better rim protector than Yao this has nothing to do with him being a better player than Yao.

    So stay on topic.

    Well well, Gonzaga played another ranked team and Chet looked horrible again who coulda seen that coming :rolleyes:

    Being 7ft tall and camping in the paint works nicely against guys that can’t shoot I bet that’ll translate real well to nba :rolleyes: .. since it doesn’t even work against good college teams

    Cant wait to have the anorexic duo of Green and Chet to anchor our defense lol

    Chet game last night was still far better than Banchero game against Ohio State.
    At least Chet can affect the game when offense isn’t there. 11 boards, 4 blocks and 0 turnovers

    Jaden, JD Davison, JQ & Alabama Make A Statement Against Chet Holmgren & No. 3 Gonzaga - YouTube

    Did they bench him the whole 4th quarter?

    Nah bro
    Just pretend they play Tarleton State every game so you can see how amazing he is, basically like KD combined with KG.

    His perimeter defense is currently not all that. His close outs are no bueno, but this can be fixed.

    Dudes hating on Chet when he actually does more than score. While Banchero laid an egg against Ohio State lol. Banchero is a busted Carmelo. Bum ass dude

    i'd much rather hope rockets are able to get jabari smith or nikola jovic - those two are much better prospects than chet or banchero imo.

    Honestly, I would prefer to draft all shooters if Silas is still coaching here...

    Our pick - Jabari Smith (6'10", 220, 44% from three, 83% free throw)

    Heat/Nets pick - Hyunjung Lee (6'7", 210, 43% from three, 86% free throw)

    2022 Roster w/ snipers
    KPJ, Christopher, Augustin(41%)
    Green, Brooks(37%)
    Mathews(40%), Lee(43%), Tate
    Smith(44%), Hauser(43%), KJM
    Wood, Sengun, Garuba

    I would keep Wood and probably Augustin. You gotta get rid of Wall, House, Nwaba, and Theis by any means necessary. They don't fit. I'd be cool with trading EG for a pick or young sniper + expiring contract. He deserves to compete for a ring somewhere, and I want to give those minutes to our young snipers. I'd like to send him to the Celtics for Sam Hauser (6'7", 217, 43% from three, 90% free throw in GLeague) and an expiring contract. I wanted us to draft Hauser this past draft, but Celtics stole him.

    Surround KPJ, Green, and CWood with more snipers. Let's see what happens!

    So you really are that guy.

    Do you get some kind of compensation if Chet is picked over Banchero?

    That's the only reason I can see you being so invested in ******** on Banchero.
