Kid is the goods but they may have to play him at the 3 just to keep him healthy.

Bully ball is something he struggles with.

His debut in the summer league was crazy good.

That Jovic kid that Miami drafted looked really good too. He may end up being the steal of the draft.

This isn't 1960. Some white dude named Chet cannot succeed in today's NBA.

Yeah that's why they may have to play him at the 3. Doesn't seem like he will be able to add enough weight or strength to his frame to be able to withstand the pounding he's going to take playing the 5. Or even 4.

Doesn't Durant essentially play the 3?

I wouldn't put too much stock in how anyone does in Summer League.

Holmgren is playing center though and his body size isn't going to change simply because Summer League is over.

Game 2 he definitely got bullied. By somebody by the name of Kenneth Lofton, Jr.

That's going to happen once he plays against the "real pros" too. That's why they might want to think about a position switch for him. Kid is a helluva talent though.

He's playing center? He wasn't even a center in the WCC.

I am glad you get to see him a few times in a NBA jersey before he heads off to Europe.

I expect to see a pic of you in his European jersey.

He’s going to be a massive bust but LTG also had Patrick Williams as the next Khawi Leonard :lol:

You never know. I said Zion was a can't miss. Just hope Holmgren doesn't get broke in half.

Damn right I'm going to root for him overseas.

He should go to the NBL in the Australian league. Bulls just signed a guy from the Illawarra Hawks there. He has potential.

I'm a Tasmanian JackJumper guy and I will bet the shit out of him down there. The French and German leagues are high-quality. Greece is pretty good. Icelandic basketball feels like pick-up leagues of guys on their lunch hour but they do not play defense so always bet the over in the Icelandic league games.

I don't think Holmgren has the body type which will enable him to put on much muscle. I've seen some people compare him to a young Giannis, but I think that is unrealistic. I believe Porzingis is the best comparison as of right now.

This kid is going to be the bust of all busts, I mean, we are making fun of Kofi for having to play overseas, but this thread of full of highlights of guys like Kofi and other bums abusing him..what does that tell you?

That you might not want to put so much emphasis on "highlights" perhaps.

Somebody might welcome him to the league by breaking his ribs in the first week. I kinda fear for him.

Durant came into the league too as a twig. But a smoothed out twig. This kid's bones stick out of his skin.
