The case of Chet Holmgren for the Magic

Looks like no Chet interview. The same person that posted both pics of Chet is saying Chet has left Orlando.

Really interesting. Let’s see….

I don’t like the fact that Homgren is already “old” for his class. It drastically inhibits his ceiling, IMO. He was basically sophomore age as a freshman.

Spent longer time than the two hr workout of Chet.

Please check on Rob.

Jabari also was in town for 3 days.. he was wandering around on instagram live downtown the day after his workout

Rob's going to go bonkers if it's not Smith though

More importantly, he might go broke.

So strange that we got a Jabari interview but no Chet interview.

Feels like Jabari is the pick and we were just doing our due diligence.

feels different because Chet didn't have any media appearance, so it's not like they're not posting it. Almost seems like it was a due diligence workout & trip.

I am not convinced Magic is going to draft Chet

So Chet wasn't really the number one player in his class last year and will never develop because he was born a few months earlier then Jabari because his parents decided not to put him at a disadvantage starting kindergarten with older kids as opposed to putting Chet in a favorable advantage by holding him back in kindergarten. Therefore, Chets parents have relegated his NBA career to Shawn Bradley as someone will never develop. That's some really good foresight and vision by his parents

listening to local radio and one of the guys just said he was there to ask Chet questions this morning. Strange; yet, nothing from the Magic.

What if Chet is the pick, then they blitz the world with his media appearance from the workout, all-access episode; the whole shebang.

They might just leave it up to the player.

I don't get the Curry hype: all he does is win Championships. What's the big deal????

Spoiler:

he doesnt do it alone though. he has had some of the best supporting casts.

Well, who did?

well, this was based on the statement "all he does is win Championships"

otherwise you could say the same thing about Robert Horry, as he has 7.

except his game wasnt based on him being bigger and stronger than other players because he was older. and he just turned 20. that isnt really old. does he have some expiration date that you know about?

The way it was worded seems like he didn’t have a post workout media appearance. Who the heck knows it’s all smoke and mirrors until we see who shows up in a Blue Suit.

I listened to a show and they were disappointed that they didn't have a chance to ask Chet the 10 questions they had prepared.

PRR from Magic Daily did say that Chet didn’t have a media appearance. He would definitely know and be apart of one before or after a workout.

He said the same thing on his podcast.

see, i dont see that with Jabari, only because the 3 seems to be the only scoring threat in his arsenal and im not sure how much more of his game can develop. Paolo seems more that offensive guy that can will a basket, because he has so many more ways to score.

It’s not about versatility, it’s about being in the zone and knocking down shots. Jabari has had cold first halfs and finished with 20 in the second half. He can hit with a hand in his face. I see it in Keegan, too.

Paolo can find better looks, but I don’t have as much faith in him finishing them the way I do in Jabari hitting 3’s. But you’re right that Jabari will need more help to create those looks in the first place.
