You can't dog it at this level when you dad was an NBA pro. You don't get this far if you do. Ask Marcus Jordan.
Harpers kid is a 4 yr Senior Ivy Leaguer no one is paying any attention too.
Like when no one drafted Gary Payton Jr.


We have to buy a 2nd to get him, but I like Harper as well.

Eason with pretty much a 9 foot standing reach.

Just no way he drops

Nope. He'll probably go around 8-12, which is a bummer. Sochan as well. But I guess you never know. Someone always drops.

If there at 18 man he is a monster. That is some rim protection.


Wow. That almost seems like it can’t be right.


The body fat part is definitely not right. I don’t what they do to measure it at the combine, but I’m pretty sure it’s extremely close to just writing down their favorite numbers.

But yeah, the other numbers are obviously more important and they’re insane as well.

Edit: Just saw they have someone listed at 2.7% body fat at the combine. I’m sorry, NBA officials making that number up, but that person would not be with us right now.



You can 2.7% for sure but I highly doubt it anything under 3% is almost always for a body building competition and extreme diet, but some genetics allow for that. That being said my one nephew has always just naturally been around 4% @ 6'2" and couldn't put on weight if he wanted to (nor can my brother while I am 180 degrees from that and also an outlier in my family with that lol) The [point is they are usually waifish if being that low on body fat and usually low on body mass too.


What's crazy is he is theoretically bigger and longer than Gobert was. It isn't my first choice but it is surely a thought at 18. That addresses a major issue no doubt.

He can shoot and has legit NBA size. Plus Pops knows how to take care of his body and Center advise him on NBA life. He is the son of a former NBA player so he should know the business and he went and signed with an agent and declared for the draft so I think he knows he is going to be taken, maybe late but still, so yeah you will likely need a 2nd rounder to grab him.

None. I see most projections have him at 9 and he looks like the type of guy some one will jump on.

He's a stick, guys will push him around and he's gonna commit all kinds of stupid reach in fouls.
The pressure to be great with being a high pick will also crush him.

The NBA is full of MEN trying to make $$$, this guy is maybe the next Shawn Bradley IF he can stay healthy - and Bradley was a barely an average NBA player.


Comparing a freakishly mobile and skilled 7 footer to Bradley makes me believe perhaps you never saw Bradley play. Bradley was a stiff, just an extraordinarily tall one.

And what makes you think Holgrem doesn’t have the mental toughness to be an NBA player?

Chet needs to get bigger and stronger sure, but not significantly. What makes him or will make him a really good player is his mobility at his height, so to stunt that would be a mistake. And there are plenty slight players in the NBA who are really good and can easily survive, this isn't the 90's anymore.
Why so serious?

Durant handled it. He was able to bulk up enough to strengthen and stabilize without going so far as to offset his advantages.

I suspect Holmgren will try the same thing. That’s all he has to do and he’ll be plenty strong.

If OKC drafts Holmgren they'd have the skinniest front court. Poku and Holmgren.

Yeah he is nothing like Bradley. Want to say KP yeah I get that and might be injury prone because of it possibly, but Bradley was only tall. Chet has skills for sure, he is also very thin no doubt but plenty of thin guys have been fine, even Gobert was a twig. They get stronger and use their length. He has a skill set that is impressive for his length no doubt, just look at what KD has done with it. Will it translate? Don't know but it is the highest ceiling for sure. Maybe a lower floor too.

Houston is up for trading their pick. I think if we offer than a All-Star in Vuc and the #18 we should easily make that trade.... They might have to throw in Jalen Green though.

Seriously though would there be any realistic trade where that works? We just don't have any assets that make sense.

They already have SGA so there's another skinny guy. How can they get Brandon Ingram to join in on the fun?

Pippens son is also in the draft but wouldn’t want him. Is he even projected to be drafted ?

If we can get a 2nd rounder I'd like to take a shot on Lewis.
