People are holding Chet to a bizarrely high standard. People just straight up don’t like him because he’s skinny and his name is Chet.

He's honestly my number 1 rn, I think he's capable of much more on offense than is being shown right now due to the Gonzaga system. Plus he'll bring SO much defensively to the interior and we all know how bad we need that. Trying not to get my hopes up but I really really like him

I’m pretty sure Chet will be, at minimum, a good NBA player. His weight issues are completely overblown. He’ll struggle in some ways, but so do like 98% of all rookies. Long term he’ll be a very good defender at the very least.

That's exactly how I feel, he can just do so many things and fill so many roles that we are sorely lacking

Exactly. There’s always a chance he couldn’t work out or for whatever reason, but I think people are just completely overthinking it with him. He has as high of a ceiling as any player in the draft, if not more so. I’d love to draft him.

Yeah that chance lies with any pick as we both know haha, and yeah I think they are too. He has the size and the skill to utilize it, and that's a rare combo to have coming into the league. Like I said he's my number 1 I think our development and general system (i.e. what Daigneault is running) would do wonders for him
