    Karl Anthony Towns averaged 10 and 6 in college. On top of that, he was outplayed by Sam Dekker and Frank Kominsky in the biggest game of his college career! Clearly a certified bust with no NBA future.

    Room temperature IQ thread.

    After the Duke/Zags game, I'm convinced Banchero > Holmgren

    Towns was more skilled and he played with better players, so his numbers would be less. Bol Bol was featured, so naturally his numbers would be higher.

    However, my assessment thus far of Chet is that he is a defensive presence but he hasn't shown a lot of offensive skill. You can tell at this point that Karl Anthony Towns, Banchero and Jabari Smith are more skilled offensively.

    imagine saying Chet hasn’t shown a lot of offensive skill

    this is clearly some sort of lame attempt at trolling

    Yeah but as you've said, you haven't actually seen anything. Seems stupid to start a thread when you yourself acknowledge that you only watched highlights. Why make such sweeping statements on such limited information?

    Anyone that thinks Chet is Bol needs to watch more basketball….. for one thing Chet is an elite defender and even at 200 lbs he handles contact extremely well.

    If Chet is who is supposed to be Green, KPJ, Chet is legit a KD-Harden-Russ in the making. Gotta be super careful with the development of egos and got to buy them into ball movement early!

    It’s not just that… he has been excellent defensively. There were two red flags with Chet entering college… could he really switch on defense against better athletes and could he handle contact inside… he has excelled at both in college this far.

    Chet is a bit raw for sure and needs to add muscle but he has shown exceptional upside.

    We need to go back to the Jalen Green thread, then cross reference support for Green with support for Chet.

    I bet the Green gang are now Chet fans. Absolutely sure of this.

    Chet will be fantastic in his first NBA season. It's Mobley vs Green all over again.

    Your typical clutchfans dunce will come up with excuses, and will refuse to eat crow regardless of actual performance.

    Watch it. That's borderline defamation. You pass on Bol Bol, that cool.....you pass on Mobley not ideal but workable, you pass on Chet you have to be remedial.

    It’s clear and it’s not close
    Banchero put his team on his back dropped 20 in a half and bodied Chet got him in foul trouble and made him sit. While beating the number 1 ranked team with Chet on it. That’s called absolute domination.

    That included post ups, taking people off the dribble and dunking and midrange

    But funny how Clutch is saying thing I'm saying! Chet is a good defensively, he's skilled but he NEEDS development and he's too thin. He's about 3yrs away.

    Smith and Banchero are better options at this point

    The 6’10 250 guy is Green? Our Jalen Green?

    Are you sure it’s not Hardy or Ivey or something?

    I don’t know if I want to keep up lol
