    What's the reason for Chet Holmgren only playing 10 minutes of a 20-minute half?
    There are 5 of his teammates with more playing time. 20,17,17,13,13 minutes.

    Possibly the amount of fouls he has.

    So far, Holmgren is just giving more ammo for those questioning if he can play inside at the next level. Memphis has NBA-caliber athletes and size and their bigs have been abusing him for 20 minutes.

    Is he just a skinnier Zach Collins?

    He’s talented but going to take a couple years in pro’s to develop.

    I’m not the biggest Chet fan, but cmon. Not even close. Much, much better than ZCo. Way bigger skillset.

    This tweet is hilarious.
    Jalen Duren isn’t exactly known for his offensive prowess.

    Side note: Chet said his favorite food is soul food.
    So, uh, I like him more now.

    Like I said, I’m waiting to evaluate his play in the tournament but literally damn near every time they’ve played a major conference team his stats are… not even close to his stats in conference play.

    I do like him. Just not at #1 overall.

    And I do think he would be an interesting fit on the blazers. But the strength disparity between college and nba players is concerning.

    I watch him and like some of what I see. But, he seems very uncoordinated out there, Like CJ Elleby. Like floppy puppy dog legs. I mean, his height and skill set could be KD. Or it could be some uncoordinated kid who flails all over the court before fouling out. I'm honestly not sure.

    Oregon women upset in double OT. Kentucky upset. North Carolina had to come back from down 10. Creighton upset Colorado. UConn unhappy over being a 2 seed so beat up opponent by 40.

    Not saying I disagree, but he provides a lot more value *before* fouling out than Zach Collins could ever dream of. lol
