That's a hell of a player. Are you being serious?
Dead serious.
but is it really? A big that does his damage from the perimeter, liability beyond the arch, subpar defender and will not be able to use his strength/size to his advantage against NBA bodies.
Less athletic John Collins?
Rookie Miles Bridges?
Worst shooting version of Tobias Harris?
Somewhere around there, obviously still a max player in todays NBA but that doesn't really mean much nowadays.
This isn't a Banchero sucks post, but more a give me Chets upside instead argument.
I rewatched the Alabama game and am coming around a bit more to Chet. I do think he has a wide enough frame to add some weight, and even though he can get destroyed by guards physically, he does have really good instincts around the rim. I think a lot of what he does will not translate, e.g. taking the ball down the court, etc. I see him more as a Myles Turner style player (more skilled as a rookie) than the offensive hub I think people imagine.
