Well he's playing Duke tonight so we can compare him and Banchero side by side.

This is a great game. Paolo is a beast.

Paolo definitely going to go No1 if he plays like this the rest of the season

 Agreed. Two top 3 picks makes me happy 😊

Unfortunately Paolo appears to have injured himself, he’s still in the locker room

Holmgren’s got that 1 footed Dirk Fadeaway. You can’t stop that shot.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Duke win! Solid first half from banchero, he looked injured in the 2nd half. He'll be the No1 pick if he keeps it up though. Holmgren had a quiet first half but a solid 2nd. Williams was impressive for Duke

Believe he van hero was dehydrated and getting iv treatment in second half (rather than a structural injury)

I like Chet and eventually I believe he’s going to be a great NBA player, but it may take some time to find his niche.

Chet has that nice Dirk step back for his mid-range shot and with his 7’6 wingspan, it will definitely translate to the nba.

He’s very mobile for his size but he’s not a great vertical athlete, and although he’s quick, doesn’t have an elite change of pace like other star nba players.

IMO, Chet Holmgren has lots of elite attributes but lacks refinement to be ready for the nba right now. Hopefully come draft day, he’s selected by a team like the Spurs so he’s give the time and expertise to fully develop.
