I read the article, and if that's all he said I don't think he tore him down. He called out a realistic concern in regards to Chet.

I have to agree with him, kid is too skinny. Would need a lot of bulking up for the nba world and does that change his game?

Pearl continued about Smith. "The No. 1 reason is the kid doesn't lose. That's No. 1. He doesn't lose."

I don't think referring to him as a "boy" is a fair comment at all.

Holmgren's a lot more skilled offensively than Shawn Bradley was.

Chet's big question mark will be on defense. Can he guard the perimeter at all on switches. Bol Bol can score but he's a statue on defense so he's unplayable. I don't think Chet will be that bad but it's a big question mark. If he can move okay relative to NBA guys, his length can make up for a lot on defense.

Chet Holmgren will end up being a rotational player that's 7 foot and hanging out 15 ft from the basket. He isn't going to be banging inside.

I'd be pissed if Orlando drafted him. I wouldn't even touch him in the Lottery.

What?
He’s the piece you look for on defense. He can move better than anyone in the draft for his height

Chet weighs 120lbs. The NBA is going to murder him.

Media is so sensitive. He raised a concern about his weight and said so in a funny way.

If this was 80's-90's NBA, then yes. Now the NBA is euro ball. Today's NBA is tailor made for players like Chet.
