Description
Andy Patton of Locked On Zags joins the show to talk all things Chet Holmgren. It's a Chet Chat! The Gonzaga big man is a one of the most fascinating and polarizing prospects to enter the NBA draft in years and few have watched him as closely as Andy in his lone collegiate season.What are Holmgren's strengths? Is there more to his game beyond elite rim protection? What else does he provide on the defensive end and where has he thrived in college? On the other side of the floor, what makes Holmgren an intriguing offensive piece? Is he going to be an stretch five in the pros or does he have more to his game that could lead to a larger offensive arsenal?Oh yeah. He's skinny. Let's talk about the frame and the concerns of Holmgren's overall size. Is he big enough to play in the NBA right now? Is it reasonable to be concerned about his size as he transitions to the next level? If he doesn't get bigger right away, can he still be impactful? What's his best position in the NBA as a rookie?And finally, should the Blazers do it? If Portland has a chance to draft Holmgren in the Top 3 in the NBA draft this summer, should he be their selection or who else in the top of the draft would better fit alongside this current Blazers roster.Lots of questions. Lots of answers. Chet Chat! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
