re: LSU has a great relationship with a very highly ranked basketball transfer

Chest has a low bball iQ. He would be a great piece if all you need is a rebounder at that position so if there is a team out there that has their scoring set but needs a boarder.he would fit into that scenario. People trying to compare him to Emmit Williams are reaching. Having the same motor is about all they had in common. Emmit was a much better scorer and had a higher BBall IQ, We need some shooters and scorers. Collins started to develop a shot and would be great if he came back and got a little stronger. Reed and BMiller will give us 2 post players which we haven't had in a while and VMiller was also starting to get acclimated to the physicality of the SEC, Givens is a ?. He was physically weak and his shot wasn't very good but he started to play better the last part of the season. Needs to put in a lot of work in the weight room and on his shooting but being a freshman I'll give him another year to prove me wrong but MM still needs to sign another SEC caliber PG in the portal. That's one thing he hasn't done his entire time here.

I have seen a lot of people criticize Chest’s game while forgetting he’s a RS FR. He’ll keep developing at the right place. Look at the interest he has so far.
