Soul Bro 1,422 Report post Posted May 19, 2022 Schmitz and Woj. Good stuff. Schmitz says there’s a top 2: Chet and Jabari. He’s a huge Chet fan. Thinks he can be really special. He likes Jabari, too. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4J0xZGay9vSaqgFVGhX7R3?si=pHSfa_TaTCWdK14B2GUCPQ&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A5o0Y7aOifsQxB1wmqPZLiS Edit: Schmitz also says he’s enamored with Sharpe. Saw him play 5v5 at UK in practice and was the best player on the court. Geez… options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TreyMachine 399 Report post Posted May 20, 2022 This article sold me on Jabri. The boy is the first into the gym/ lead by example / earn everything you’re given type of guy. He’s not a diva. And he values all of the fundamentals that his father instilled in him early. He reminds me a lot of Tim Duncan as I read this. 100% on board with drafting him. https://www.si.com/.amp/college/2022/02/23/jabari-smith-auburn-basketball-nba-daily-cover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chet at 39% is close also but actually having 2 - 6 foot 10 guys who can hit the 3 Franz and Jabari its is devastating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ball junkie 277 Report post Posted May 20, 2022 Sounds to me like our GM’s are and will be doing their due diligence …Can’t ask for more …I checked their draft history and they do prefer athletic kids so there’s that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, players like Anthony Davis, Giannis, and Durant came into the league skinny and managed to add weight. But what do they have in common? Broad shoulders, especially Davis and Giannis. They have very broad shoulders and have the frame to add the bulk. Chet is not only skinny but has a narrow frame. He currently weighs the same as some guards. The problem he will have in adding extra weight is how much can his frame legitimately add before it has a negative effect on his body? I suspect he’ll struggle to add sufficient weight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ball junkie 277 Report post Posted May 20, 2022 Saying he feels good about his conversations with the Pistons …also found this : Not surprisingly, some of the top prospects in this year's class chose to limit their participation in the event. Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren and Jabari Smith canceled their media availability, and none of the three has taken part in the measurement portion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
