 7 feet tall. 7'6" wingspan.  Amazing handles, court vision,  shot blocking.  Shooting 70% from the field and 84% on two pointers.

 190 pounds and I'd trade Jaylen Brown for him right now. That's how much upside this kid has.

 Tatum and Chet would win multiple chips together.  #JTJB for Chet

Thought the C’s were going to trade Jaylen for the “transcendent talent” and #1 overall pick from the 2021 draft, Cade Cunningham. Lol. These hot takes are just laughable.

Saw some video.

Looks like the tall skinny kid of his grade.

When's he coming to the NBA?

 Next year. Top 3 pick for sure. He probably goes #1 overall.  The previous hot take poster is clueless.

Seriously though, Holmgren looks like an amazing prospect.

He looks awesome, but I do fear his physique.

If we're trading Brown for an unproven prospect I want Wembenyama. 7'2 with a 7'10 wingspan and has legit offensive perimeter skills.

Also, Banchero > Holmgren. I also love Duren as a hyper athletic 5.

I'd trade Tatum for Wembanyama, I think that Brown would be perfect next to the Big V on both ends of the court.

Trading one of our stars for rookie you can only hope become as good as our stars in 3-5 years only sets this team farther back from winning a title.

No thanks to trading either Jay for any of the top 5 prospects in this draft

I don't know about trading Jaylen Brown but Chet Holmgren possesses a 1% skillset of the 1% size of humans on the planet. Whatever team is going to end up with that pick will likely turn off their phones and JDCH.

I will go on record now to say that drafting Bonchero over Holmgren would be a mistake.

Holmgren looks too skinny so long term health is a concern but the game and mental makeup seem to be there. His skillset is somewhere between Durant and Porzingis. Bonchero on the other hand is rock solid, more league ready and might be a better player now but IMO his ceiling caps out at around top 25 where Holmgren easily has top 10 potential.

The league's history is littered with guys who never lived up to lofty expectations but I don't see any way that you can pass on Chet Holmgren.

SI's Jeremy Woo ranks Holmgren 3rd behind Banchero and Jabari Smith (who is two years younger than Holmgren):

I like Holmgren, but he’s isn't even a consensus #1 NBA prospect. Chet is playing well, but he’s not exactly dominating the NCAA. Averaging 13pts, 6rebs, 3ast in 25mpg. Holmgren has basically the same build as his dad (who was an NBA player) so I don’t see him bulking up like Giannis did. Will most likely have the KD build, which is fine considering his height, length and decent athleticism.

Folks in the tape I have seen he is marginal to ok  athlete.

He is weak and lack strength and although he can jump a little he takes a while to gather

He is next unicorn type that people will swoon over
