    Could be a plus of getting Chet!! It would mean Wood has to go.

    Bring in a Thomas Bryant to start until Sengun is ready to stop reaching

    Or attempt to draft Drew Timme when he is at disposal.

    Consensus #1 right here. Chet’s frame is too much of a question mark.

    no he isn't the consensus #1. A nice dunk doesn't make him some consensus

    I'm really big on EJ Liddell.

    His defense is going to translate very well next level. He is a strong man defender but also plays great team defense. He's strong offensively but he obviously wouldn't need to create his own shot at the next level. Solid 4 or small ball 5. Similar player to Draymond at the NBA level.

    I think he will get over looked but I would love him on the Rockets he would work well with Sengun/Wood or Chet/Smith

    Indeed, I think his overall game is strong enough that he will become this year’s Cade (consensus #1) … I could be wrong of course, but he has the skill set and upside without the risks of an extremely thin frame.

    There’s always risk with every player. Smith is far from the complete package

    of course, I just think Smith and Holmgren are pretty similar on talent level alone, so the guy with fewer physicality question marks will likely go first overall

    When that Georgia St. player fell into Chet’s legs yesterday I held my breath, he just looks frail

    Smith isn’t in the realm of Chet defensively. Also Chet is much more versatile on both ends of the floor. They’re not equal in terms talent

    I’m thinking Holmgren/Ivey for the 2nd pick will be this years Mobley/Green debate. If any team passes on Smith I’ll be shocked, although it could happen if a team is sold enough that Holmgren won’t be injury prone.

    If Jabari can develop a dribble drive like on that dunk something simple on a consistent basis he will be nearly unstoppable.

    Paolos post game is elite. His footwork is ridiculously good for his age.

    Banchero is going to be a tough shot maker on the next level. Good face up game from midrange. Great ballhandling and passing. Just a great overall skillset. He's also 6'10", 250 pounds and plays very physically. Questionable ability on defense on the next level, but I think any team that drafts him is going to be pleased.
