Anyone watch USA Basketball Junior National team today or this week?

He had 17 PTS on 8/10 Shooting, 10 REB, 3 BLK, 2 AST, in only 17 minutes today against Korea.

Highlight Clip--block, rebound then coast to coast for score


Twitter Clip 1 from USABJNT today against Korea

Clip 2 against Turkey four days ago

Clip 3 block against Korea

Clip 4 with 3 pt shot against Turkey

Hes going to be a great player. He needs to gain some strength, with which should come much needed explosiveness.

Serious question. Don't you think he faces better competition in his HS games than against a basketball team full of Koreans? Did they have anyone over 6 feet?

You’re aware Lebron played HS basketball within the last 20 years, right?

Chet Holmgren

With a name like that, I picture the guy to be 350 lbs and a die-hard Bears fan.

His highlights aren’t even as good as Thon Maker’s were.

No offense but there are thousands in HS who could put up that line in 17 minutes against South Korea

Imagine how much hate this guy would’ve gotten if he would have gone to duke back when Cbb was good

He may have trumped even Laettner and JJ.

Ricardo Ratliffe now plays for the senior national team. Hilarious to see this guy, who now goes by the name of "Ra Gun-ah" on the squad.

* He was out starting 5 from the mizzou team that was a 2 seed that lost to Norfolk state

lol.

Holmgren has been the top kid in his class since he was a Sophomore.

he is very very very very good. And skilled. That doesn't mean he will eventually be a great pro, but a lot of people think he is surefire.

So you’re seriously arguing Chet Holmgren is more impressive than Lebron was?

Did I say that anywhere in my post?

Saying LeBron isn’t the most impressive high school basketball player in the last 20 years =/= Chet Holmgren is a better high school basketball player than LeBron was.
