    Mind you, I've only seen limited games on each player but Chet Holmgren seems more comparable to Bol Bol, than Banchero. Banchero appears to be more polished.

    Sorry Chet fans but I just don't think he's a lottery pick. Also, Bol Bol appeared to have more offensive skills during his tenure at Oregon, where he avg. 21/9

    Bust

    Hope we avoid #1 cuz we will take chet and have to wait five years for him to be able to bench press 150 lbs. No thanks I think they both suck even bancheo. I like Duran or Bates the following year and especially that player named wambamyamama (literally) . Draft of 2023 is better. Hope we have a unprotected pick in 2023 I don't know though because of OKC

    Okay I just checked we have unprotected picks this year and next year 2022 to 2023

    The year to tank is not this year but next year.. we need bates or wambamyamammama(correct spelling literally)

    However between 2024 2025 and 2026 all three years we are completely SCREWED!!

    HOPE OUR REBUILD IS DONE IN NEXT 2 YEARS

    I agree. How am I supposed to believe he’s better than Banchero with that lanky frame?

    Watched the Duke, Gonzaga game last night. Banchero does not suck, but I do not like his lack of foot speed and he doesn’t seem very active. Chet is a 3 year project. He will get killed on the boards in the NBA. He has to put on a lot of weight and strength to become an all-star level player. Duren (not Duran) is very green, but I think he can be a defensive stopper early on. His best comp right now is Ayton. He reminds me of Dwight Howard without the ego issues. Right now I think Banchero would be the best pick of those 3. Like to see Jabari play since he seems to be the next one in line.

    Chet = Zhou Qi
    Banchero = Rockets Melo
    Duren = 2015-16 Dwight Howard
    Jabari might actually be good, but he'll be the #1 pick and silver will make sure we pick no higher than 3.

    Trade the pick for Lillard and win 30 games next year :cool:.

    I saw Jabari Smith play against UConn. He is NICE! Highly skilled, very quiet but growing into a vocal leader. I would LOVE to get him

    Chet comparisons to bol bol and zhou qi are comparisons a child would make. Physically, I understand them.

    however, look at his passing skills, defensive skills and efficient shot selection. He is a project no doubt, but he has more basketball skill as a 19 year old than bol bol has shown in his entire career.

    Terrible take. You can’t take folks who don’t follow college seriously. Barely even seen him and OP wants to tell everyone what Chet is. Classic CF

    I've only seen Chet play through Highlights and a few college games but he has not impress me compared to the games I've seen Banchero and Jabari Smith play.

    Chet moves similarly on the court to Bol Bol and Joe Chee and oddly their body types are similarly too.

    To me, if the Rockets have a top 2 pick this yr. they need to pick Banchero or Smith. If not they need to trade the pick for a young veteran.

    Dude, Chet is not a lottery pick from what I'veseen thus far. He's Bol Bol or less! And Bol Bol avg 21/9 in college, so he's really not Bol Bol at this point.
