He would be near the top of the draft if he declared fwiw.

That's pretty amazing! I obviously don't konw much about him - do you think putting on some pounds (if he can) would help his game or possibly hurt his game?
I just don't see how someone of his size (or lack thereof) could compete with guys who weigh more than twice as much as he does. Do you think he could realisticaly compete the way he is now or would his lack of weight be a big factor?

He's just turned 18 and has a nice frame to fill out, similar to Garnett, he'll be fine.
Holmgren OTOH.... i don't see it.
If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

Although even if he doesn't gain that much weight, he might be abused by the um,, thicker guys, but Holmgren is much better absorving contact than you would expect.

Not so fast. If Victor Wembanyama enters the draft he'll have a run for his money.

OUCH! I just looked him up - wow he's one skinny dude!!!!


Victors shoulder width would be like 3 or 4 inches wider than Chet's.

Chet is a 100% Mantis.

That just makes Chet’s wingspan extra long relatively speaking and higher standing reach compared to height

I understand that OP's asking about current players. But damn, how can there be 4 pages of this without someone at least mentioning Tayshaun Prince?
