Holmgren was the number one recruit in the country last year and offered by every school, not some rando European no one has heard of.
He would’ve been a lottery pick out of high school,

The exact thing was said about Kevin Garnett when he went pro out of high school.
He had a similar build.
Garnett was 220 pounds out of high school, so was Anthony Davis. 25 pounds is a huge difference, that is not a similar frame. Chet has huge skills, but his success in the pros will come down to his ability to add weight. if he can get up to 240-250 pounds he will be a beast, if he can only get to 220ish he's going to have a rough time.

When was the last time a white American did anything in the NBA? It's slim pickens since Bird. Is this kid your guys "Great White Hope" or something? I don't get it.
He's the number one HS recruit playing against inferior competition so his stats are going to be inflated.

Dude, he’s projected by NBA scouts to be a top 3 draft pick.
He’s not some fabrication.
You’re the one bringing race into this you fricking racist.

Here's how he did against big name schools. Not sure how these schools are doing this year but at least it's not Pepperdine.
Texas 2pts 5RBs
UCLA 15pts 6 RBs
Duke 16pts 7RBs
Alabama 10pts 11RBs
Texas Tech 5pts 11 RBs
That's an average of 9.6pt 8RBs against quality competition.
For the season he's averaging 14.7pts 9RBs
That doesn't scream #1 pick. He would have to single handedly dominate the NCAA Tournament to be a #1 pick. I don't see it happening against quality competition.
But hey, Ben Simmons, Anthony Bennet and Andrew Wiggins, Greg Oden, Andrea Bargnani, and Andrew Bogut, were all number one picks so what do I know....

The NBA draft is about potential.
The shite you are posting is completely irrelevant.

Potential busts. Still waiting on Ben Simmons potential.

Gonzaga has long evolved past that point.

You are arguing with yourself.
No one knows how good any player will be in the NBA.
However, Chet Holmgren WILL be a top 3 pick, and possibly No.1.
Sorry if that upsets you.

He's not even the best player on the team. Timme is.

Everyone knew Simmons couldn’t shoot. Now we know he’s also a head case.
