I love how they use chet in the graphic as "only 2 other guys did this: donyell marshall and eddie griffin" both of whom suck.
Kyle talks about talent and drive when Chet and Jabari and Ivey all got bounced out of the tourney before him. He’s the one guy that lead his team to a Final Four and played his best when the lights were the brightest. “This guy” is perhaps the worst analyst on TV. He called Duke soft and said they would get bounced early in the tournament and wound up looking like an idiot.
I do not want Malaki at 14. We need a damn wing. Not a SG
I think the biggest 2022 NBA Mock Draft sham is Chet Holmgren being designated as a center. Yes, he played center at Gonzaga but did he dominate? Arguably, the answer is no. I think David McComarck of KU had a more powerful impact on his team because he won them an NCAA championship. But I digress.
Chet Holmgren 7'0", 195 pounds and a 7'6" wingspan is an excellent passer and perimeter shooter with .607 FG%. But c'mon guys, does anyone really think that that shooting stat can translate in the NBA? Can Chet Holmgren play as a true bonafide center in the NBA? Can he fight for position under the basket and outrebound the NBA's top 30 starting centers day-in-day-out beginning in the 2022-2023 season? Some already said in two years he can… if that is the case, then why is Chet Holmgren in the top 5 of this years NBA Mock Draft and even considered as the top center in this class? Just because Givony of ESPN says he is doesn't make it so.
A true and closest comparison with Chet Holmgren's physique and talent is Kevin Durant, arguably one of the best and most exciting player that came out of Texas. Kevin was listed as 6'10", 215 pounds and a 7'5" wingspan and was the #2 draft in 2007. KD's stats during his one-and-done season was a bit better than Chet (I am being generous here). I really doubt that an NBA coach will play Chet as a center. I predict that Chet will play either as a stretch 4 or a small forward like KD.
So there is still time to correct this sham and make the 2022 NBA Draft Great Again!!
Kyle says "This is a guy…" waaaaaaaay too often.
Please no more “shooting could improve” guys to the Knicks. Take Branham and move on. No more fkn projects
Tim Doyle really hates the rockets what a doosh
lol cbs hating on the rockets hard.
No way they really forgot about Jalen Duren and had Mark Williams picked over him smh 😭
So all 4 chime in on their picks on 1-5 and then one guy for the pacers and it's the predictable keegan Murray? 😴
Please stop with griffin to the Pelicans
The Rockets have Green. We don’t need Paolo stopping the ball with his offense. Defense & Rebounds needs to be the priority at those positions. Jaden Ivey is far more dynamic paired with Green. Pablo is not long term. The Rockets can’t avoid Defense & Rebounds for long.
I feel the media is trying to force Holgrem down people throats his best attributes is defense in an offensive league led by guards not stretch 4's who dont weight 200lbs also look at his games against NBA level competiton he didnt play well hell he wasnt the best player on his team Timme was and who's to say his body can put on weight just looking at his frame his doesnt look like it hard pass at HOLGREN as the top pick because he is not the best player by far in this draft for the Magic
u can't afford 2pick Kai !!
No Jalen Duren?
Yall stay hating on houston 😂😂😂🤦🏾
Chet Holmgren slowly becoming the consensus #1. If the Orlando Magic stay at #1 we taking Chet.
Lol Spurs going to pick Center? And Mark Williams at that. 😂
As a Magic fan Trash Mock draft Jabari should be 1st pick
You really think the Wizards will pick Johnny Davis over Dyson Daniels?
