Mostly I don’t like it either, but if you’re in the bottom 2 or 3 of the conference with 12-15 games left, then you might as well. And if you are missing most of your starters for a good chunk of the season there aren't a lot of options to get better. I'd love to see a full season with: Fultz/Suggs/Anthony Sharpe//Harris/2nd rounder Frantz/TRoss/2nd rounder JI/Chuma/vet signing WCJ/Mo Wagner/Rolo Dump everybody else!!

As I said, we went into this season fully intending to tank due to our roster being so incredibly young. Injuries had almost nothing to do with it. Anyway, it’s water under the bridge now. I 100% completely share all of your hopes that we somehow get a difference maker in this draft. I just don’t think it’s very likely to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soul Bro 1,409 Report post Posted May 17, 2022 To keep things real and honor CTMAGICUK, I’ve just done some research on Chet. Here’s what Mike Schmitz of ESPN had to say about him on March 8. I’d not read the Dirk mention until now but offensively I could see that as Chet’s ceiling. I personally see him closer to a Kristas type but this is some high praise. “Where Holmgren could get in trouble is when teams switch on him to take away his pick-and-pop 3 and force him into post isolations, where he's easily pushed off his spots. But I imagine we'll see more and more of Holmgren's Dirk Nowitzki fallaway in the NBA, and the fact that he can handle, shoot off the dribble and pass at 7-1 will allow him to overcome some of the physicality concerns. Teams seem slightly more concerned about Holmgren's frame than previous slender prospects, yet with the NBA being more of a "length and skill" league, some of the most respected voices are clearly optimistic that what he does well will translate to the NBA. The questions are more along the lines of durability. You never want to fully downplay any physical concerns (Zion Williamson, Porzingis), but Holmgren has never needed to rely on physicality to have an impact, and that shouldn't change at the next level. Holmgren is maybe the most intriguing prospect I've evaluated not named Wembanyama over the past decade or so, skinny frame and all, and has done nothing to show me he shouldn't be the No. 1 pick in June. -- Mike Schmitz” https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/33448318/why-gonzaga-chet-holmgren-polarizing-nba-scouts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He called for SGA to go much higher but no one listened to him. He also liked Ball over Anthony and Wiseman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
