You’re drafting him based on taking a big upside swing.

So him getting in foul trouble against Memphis and Arkansas and not being as effective— when any team drafting him knows his first year or two likely won’t be terribly effective, they’ll be dedicating to building his body up and getting him used to playing with added weight/muscle— doesn’t move the needle for me imo. If I’m drafting a guy at the top who I want to help me win now, I wasn’t going to draft Chet anyway.

I wish New Orleans could find a way to snag him. He’s the ideal guy to pair with Zion. They both love to run, Chet stretches the floor on offense and defends the rim beautifully, Zion can bully inside on offense in that space and play more free safety on defense since he’s not an ideal rim protector. Doubt it would happen, but it’d be real cool.
