Christie looked like poo poo for the second half of the season so this is either stupid or he's wisely getting away from Izzo's inability to coach 5-stars. Hopefully it goes better for him than Deyonta Davis.

I realize that the company he's in is terrible but is this guy an actual prospect or is he going to be playing in Europe or Australia by the end of the year.

Just saw the statline and thought it was neat I guess so I felt like asking.

Kaminsky is no great shakes but he's a real nba player who will probably continue to get contracts.

Gonna be honest I did not realize he was still in the nba and assumed he was playing overseas by now.

Am I outdated to be worried that Chet Holmgren is a twig who will be bullied to death by most NBA players? I get that pro athletes gain bulk once its their fulltime job but man he is a tiny person, relatively.

I'm not saying he will ever be this good but look at pictures of Giannis and KD from their rookie years

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Chet has bust potential for sure but also a pretty high ceiling. Glad I'm not an NBA exec.

Yeah, that's true. I guess I keep imagining Holmgren doing a Shawn Bradley and it makes me pause.

Hell, same. I would have drafted Taze Moore based on his dunk competition performance.

If the Pels can somehow land any of Chet, Jabari, Ivey, or Sharpe (in no particular order), I will be very happy.

Yeah exactly. I can't blame any team for drafting him #1 overall but also I'm really glad it's not going to be my team staring that down.

Victor Wembanyama I think is a lot better prospect (the following year) and I'm kinda waiting for Chet to bust and then Victor to fall as a result.

Even Luka didn't have this much hype. He played fantastic basketball and won the euroleague mvp, that made him what should have been a lock for first overall. OKC's entire current tanking period has been aimed at getting Vic. The whole thing

I don't love Chet but the thing about Chet is that at every level he's figured out a way to make it work.

The Pacers quasi-tanked for the first time in 35 years and will likely never do it again so I'm begging the lottery gods for them to jump up. If they fall to 7-8 they're probably consigned to another 8 years of 39 win first round outs.

I would love to pair him (three years from now) with Zion and Ingram. Just as Jonas' contract expires.

Yeah, so that's why I won't blame a team for taking him number 1, it'd just stress me the gently caress out if he was on my team.

Literally the same thing was said about Evan Mobley a year ago. He'll be fine.

Goddammit, lottery gods, please bless Detroit again; we need one more good draft and I think we'll have enough of a foundation to build off of and to lure a big free agent to the Pistons

How do they make the draft show worse every year. It shoudln't be possible.
