    but here is the glimmer of hope regarding his frame: he will put on more muscle as he matures and works out AND he doesn’t shy away from contact. I agree that Mobley is coming in much more NBA ready, but Chet will get stronger and he will bang in the paint. I think that’s a good sign. If he was shying away from contact at this point I wouldn’t be that interested in him.

    If we draft him, hopefully you are right.

    BUT his frame is too slender, it appears as if the best he could hope for is to reach the thickness of Christian Wood....
    He isn't especially agile either, and I worry that getting jacked might make him slower.

    Who knows!

    But I keep saying that if we can't get Smith, trade back and go for Griffin or Murray (or both!!) Try for 2 mid lotto guys instead

    I'd sign DeAndre Jordan just for us to have a legit center
