I see a lot of folks quick to project him as a bust all because he doesn’t look the part, but when you have length and BBIQ, it’s hard to be a bust in today’s league. They’re the two most important things that allow you to stay on the floor in the current climate as a big man.

To go along with the fact he can handle the ball, he can shoot, he can finish, he can switch onto wings/guards and unlike many long, lean white players who’re finesse — he ain’t no p*ssy (he’s spoken about how being clowned for being white with a bowl cut growing up gave him the ability to show he ain’t no punk). He ain’t afraid to get physical and do the dirty work. Who knows if his frame/durability will allow him to have a long career with his play style (all dependent on how strong he can get and how he grows into his body), but if his name wasn’t Chet and he didn’t look like the end-monster in a horror film, there would be a lot more talk around his actual game rather than projecting him to be a bust based on his appearance.
I always said, when I saw him go at Curry and hit him with that Curry behind the back move. I said this nikka ain't playing games and got star quality. Generally future legends are that confident on GOATs like that.

His skill is a lot easier to showcase in the NBA than it was at Gonzaga. That said, all three of these top 5 picks can really hoop. I never understood idiots saying this was a weak draft class.

He’s got too many skills to be a bust.

He stays healthy and he’s a franchise altering player.

I’d play him at PF to start his career.

Yeah, with his skill set and his length, only injuries will stop him from being a good player.
