Gonna be very interesting to see how the kid from Gonzaga, Chet Holmgren, does. He’s a unicorn athletically and from a skills perspective.  But he’s about 180 pounds at 7’1. Putting 50 pounds on him will not be easy.  Some can never do it.  If he doesn’t gain weight id normally say he will get pounded in the paint. But today’s NBA does not have all that many low post scorers. Certainly not traditional or post scorers. And he will be playing in a five out offense that  will utilize his skills.  I cannot recall a 7 foot player with his skill set and body type coming into the league.  So I felt coming into the draft he was the guy with the highest ceiling but also the biggest risk of any potential top-five pick.
