    Be sure you're sitting down. Don't want you to get hurt.

    Would OKC f*** with us, taking Banchero (if they believed our heart is set there, mind you) so they can squeeze us for a pick?
    Would we oblige? Or just take Chet and trade down (see also @ch44 ).

    He won't be, I'm predicting he's a Thunder.

    Chet is fine but watch that tournament highlights video for a taste. Banchero is highly, highly skilled.

    If it's more skill set over power then Chet should be number 1

    Disagree. Holmgren has some great instincts/length/commitment on the D end but is in no way more skilled than Paolo on the offensive end. I guess Chet is the better 3 ball shooter but Paolo has a nice shot from out there. Id guess Banchero ends up at 36%-37%.

    Too many Paolo hype vids. Start posting the Chet ones in case of emergency.

    Chet has guard skills that he never showed off in college.

    Chet's greatest skill is his IQ.

    The guy has no wasted movements. He's always in the right spot.

    He's CP3 level of smart at age 20.

    I've never seen a player his age be so efficient in every aspect.

    There is no way Presti is passing.

    If Presti is dumb enough to pass and the Rockets pass, I'm broken.

    Spins was not as high on Mobley or Barnes.

    This draft he's not high on Chet.

    He's obviously not perfect.

    I’d put Jabari at 0% chance. Chet at 1% only because of Presti. I fully expect Paolo to be a Rocket but always be prepared.

    I’ve bought Paolo hard enough to actually be disappointed if he’s not a Rocket tomorrow. But yeah if Chet is sitting there at 3 we should be thrilled as Rockets fans. He’s also absolutely perfect next to Sengun. Trading back would be insane.
