He's a likeable kid, I hope he goes far.
He won’t go far trust me cah
He’s a dick on the court though. But he’s a cant miss prospect and the people all saying “he has to build up his body” don’t know what they’re talking about. He’s naturally going to fill out but it’s irrelevant because he’s going to end up a 7 foot tall small forward. In their heads they think 7 foot tall means inside player but he’s going to be a killer from 3 and his length will let him guard quicker players.
@@jefffawcett being a dick on court really isnt an issue though, mans allowed to trash talk if he pulls a good move.
@@vexico4471 I mean he's the 2nd best in his class. He's going to the league. He'll go far
Vexico lol he’s the top center in the class of 21
He's gotta build up some more muscle but the sky is the limit when his stroke is so clean like that and those handles are pretty good.
SanFranFan30 yeah he’s 15
@@WatersAbove77 He's currently a junior so shouldn't he be at least 16 at this point?
He's 17
"muscle" you could LITERALLY say this to ANYONE. Only casuals say that
@@robert2690 what do you mean, are suggesting he could use more fat? or just not try to get stronger? He is literally 190 Lbs. he needs to add weight and get stronger no matter what.
1:16 the real mvp that manspread
lol how did I miss that?
Shut the fuck up
Lol yessss but Manspread might be the dumbest work ever made
Lmfao
Always rare for a 7 footer to be so coordinated. See you in the nba
Try to watch kai sotto
Marino Giannis , Dirk , Wilt , Kareem , Shaq ...
Marino aint giannis 7 ? anyways i was replying to your “big and atheletic” as all the names i mentioned are big and athletic, esp Wilt and Kareem and Giannis . Shaq is a tank but cant move as fast as the other 3 .
also to add up, i should gave put AD, Karl-Anthony and Embiid into that list too . all of em are 7 footer with high athleticism
No it’s rare to be 285 and be way more coordinated.
orlando shaq was fast and wilt is faster than usain bolt.
He really humble and seems like a genuine dude. Wish him the best
Not humble lol talks a lot on the court
humble is overused. stop it
@@robert2690 i dont give a shit if humble is overused. Btw your last 3 comments have been hating on this guy dude? Mad cuz you never reached a sliver of your potential as a ball player?
Humble? Wtf
Word
This dude out here being coached by Marsellus Wallace, so you know he gonna be good.
Does Marsellus Wallace look like a XXXX? Haha lol
Hahahaha
Does he look like a bitch , “What”
Anyone remember when dragan bender was supposed to be the next porzingis?? 😂
He is better than him
@@nikolamadunic4691 sure.
Ona Ebodaghe, Who or what the fck!! is a Poorzingus?
remember a guy named Darko Milicic? He was supposed to be the next Duncan
You remember when people weren't fucking haters all the time?
He's got pretty good lateral movement for a kid his size
Yeah, dude can really move for sure.
Yeah he is quick!
Try to check kai sotto out
@@paologarcia1426 Yeah I'd say this kid plays somewhat like KD and Kai plays more like Porzingis
I think if builds muscle he could be unstoppable
I like how he says “if” I play pro instead of “when”, shows he’s down to earth not cocky and knows he still has a lot of work to go
Hes gonna be good he just needs to add alot of muscle
a lot
Lol just like KD had to right?? right? gtfoh
Stop it all these weight experts Kevin durant is skinny ain't he?
Yep. For injury prevention/longevity, speed/agility and strength to play defense and bang on the boards. KD is one of a kind, you can't expect him to live up to one of the greatest scorers of all time.
@@donja9666 KD is 240 lbs, this kid is 175. Even as a rookie, KD was 215 and ended up almost 230 at the end of the year.
He's good, he just looks fragile to me. Every time he lands after a jump i feel like he could break a bone
gphillimo yup. Has to work on his body for sure. But has the ability.
gphillimo everyone said the exact same thing about kd
@@swosene No
gphillimo you are a casual bro ... kd couldn’t bench his body weight and people were dogging him because of how thin his was. These are facts, grow up
@@swosene You're an idiot
hell yes dude hope this kid achieves all the dreams. and eats all the steaks. but mostly the dreams part
This dude will be nice. Hopefully he doesn’t get hurt.
4:57 are we gonna ignore how tall his teammates are
That's for a USA team, not just his school...they all going to be tall
Thats jalen green scottie barnes which are actually ranked higher thannhim
Right attitude and confidence goes a long way. Good luck young man. I will remember I saw you here first.
We would love to see you at UK !
Damn and he’s a healthy kid, look how he moves
I hope he make it to the nba but it go b tough doe
Much success to you!
Good for you bud! Keep it up!
If that kid stays with that attitude, that kid is going places.
Future dallas mavericks.
7 ft ✅
Can shoot ✅
Has guard skills ✅
White ✔
They already have Porzingis tho
But he ain't European
j Smith Tf are you on? Stop being a racist piece of trash
are there any american white in nba?
Come to Gonzaga my dude🙏
stay humble young man and reach for the stars!
To be a big guy, he's ball handling skills are off the charts! Reminds of Anthony Davis, just in the fact that he was trained to play at the guard position and literally can play any position now.
READ THIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS PUT YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST HAVE FAITH AND TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST JOHN 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

he is the next unicorn.

kai sotto is the dark horse in 2021 nba draft
Me?i like redhorse!
Jealous filos always hating others.
Any tips on getting taller pls and thanks
I remember watching a video of him getting beaten on court like a lots but still bounce back every time,this kid has something
Porzingis, with more aggression. He definitely has the potential to be a much better ball handler and playmaker tho, hes nice. If he ever starts getting his diet proper and lifting weights.... could be something interesting. He seems really smart as well and humble hopefully everything he dreams for happens because seeing unique basketball stories develop is always dope.
Savage Opress the game look so easy Baltimore him. He always looks comfortable on the court.
Yeah he looks pretty smooth. Off the dribble at his height? Definitely just needs to fill out a bit and he could be big time in college
Hes more like kd
Savage Opress what’s the song in the video?
have you ever thought of him lifting too weights CAN make him NOT reach his full potential?
Gotta get him in the weight room.
@Chief Keef KD is a rare case
Gotta start hittin the buffets and the weights
This kid is humble, fast, skilled, and has a shot. The best you can have
He’s a natural... and got way more ahead of him...
You see something like this every 6 months so. Hope he makes it further than they usually do. He does seem slightly more stable, less like a giraffe.
Gunner Schenck he’s #2 on espn 100 which means he’s basically a lock for the nba
A 7’2 teenager with handles and a shots and coordination? lol… no… this is once in a decade type stuff
@@scottiebarnes7417 once every year stuff. Go back and look at all the number 1-3 draft pick’s, and most of the 7 footer’s are bust’s. Thank you NBA for getting rid of the inside game, but you couldn’t switch on Hakeem
Boy has handles. Nice job coaches. Great job kid. You can tell they have all put in a lot of work. He will go far.
Cool and leveled kid. GL
I’ve played against dominant kids like that. Crazy how dominant they can be in the younger competition levels. But college is a different story
legit 7 footers with stroke and handles?
Where do you play at where you're playing 7footers
Mikey Durden I live in Spokane Washington, Home of Gonzaga. Big ass white boys out here why u think Gonzaga always in the final four.
@@BigBroTech4U because most player’s now don’t stay in college, if they did, and you took the top NBA player’s from each school, Gonzaga wouldn’t make the top 10
As someone who at 6'1 played power forward all through high school and junior college, this kid with his 7 inch growth spurt is living my dream.
You're a 6'1 guy, you're living my dream 😭
Feels bad I’m only 6ft 4.
How did you play power forward in HS and college being so short? I feel like I was a short guard at 6'1". Was definitely taller kids in school playing down low
@@SuperMontsta my high school team only had 3 players taller than me. I was a good rebounder, so even tho I wanted to play guard and had the handles for it, my coach made me play PF. I wasn't a very good 3pt shooter and I led our league in rebounding my senior year so he may have been right.
Dawg I feel that I was 6'2 at center for the same reason haha led my league in rebounding too
This guy can be a AD/KD like player .Just hope he gets some muscle mass and that killer mentality/work ethic.
Cold wit it
I’ll be looking for this likable kid in the NBA! 🥴
I dont think all 7 footers can actually grab rim and touch there feet on the ground he's got some long ass arms, reminds me of giannis antetokounmpo
He’s not nearly as athletic
@@goat9283 acource he isn't he's a fucking 7 foot tooth pick
He's tip toeing lool
@@KGR4NT that makes it less impressive? wow.
Keep in mind that he only did it on his toes though. I think the only players in the NBA who can do it flat footed are Tacko Fall and Boban.
WOW!!!!!! Simply the most agile 7 footer I've ever seen. That jump shot is textbook beautiful.
Man, a genuine Good Luck to you kid...You look and sound like you are really deserving!
He definitely needs to build up his body or he’s gonna get bully’d
Don't make him a center. Body has to catch up
Bill piehler ok make him a power forward haha basically same thing especially in high school
He's just a junior. He can put on a lot of muscle senior year. Kid a agile and he can shoot. How many centres can do that? Or better said, how many 7-footers?
Heat Seeker for starters no idea why your bringing up shooting but at the professional level almost every player regardless of size can shoot at least 33% from 3. Not that I criticized his shooting or even brought it up
Heat Seeker you also don’t get real strength in high school or even college START getting your strength in early to mid 20’s
Hope he doesn't get Sam Bowie'd. Tall lanky players getting injured is a death sentence.
Sam bowe and Greg Odom what freak accidents. Good luck young man.
Sign with Wisconsin or Michigan State, or The university of Florida, then we will see you in the big leagues.
God bless.
Please come to Gonzaga Chet... you won’t regret it
good stuff. be good if yah had steven adams as a team mate in the nba when yah get there.
He looks like Greg from Diary of Whimpy kid.
he moves freakin fast for his size.
just from this video you like you got light feet and agility for that height good luck brotha
Chase your dreams big man. 👍🏻🙏
He should be a forward if he gets muscle. He’ll be good in the nba.
Omg hes tall af but with skill
Got to meet him and his family very humble and funny and definitely a star in the making..
Humble talented 7 foot kid! God bless you sir!
With a shot like that he's the next Durant or Nowitski.
Imagine if he grows another 7 inches and develops a 40 inch verticle. He could do the double eastbay?
He has peaked. No more vertical growth will be seen.
if he gets that tall he’ll be dead before he’s 45
Included in his skills of being a combination of Pete Maravich and Rick Smits is the fact that he is also an academic 5-star like Bill Bradley and Jerry Lucas. Even though he'll only play one year of college, I hope he goes to the highest academic school possible. Go to Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, or if you want to play big time, go to Northwestern, Stanford, or Vanderbilt.
I wouldn't be surprised if Holmgren and Suggs both end up at Gonzaga thanks to assistant coach Roger Powell having a multi-year relationship with both. Richard Pitino's future at Minny might rest on being able to get Holmgren.
He has a lot of great mentors.
If he puts on some weight this man can be awesome
"weight" you could LITERALLY say this to ANYONE. Only casuals say that
@@robert2690 you are a straight up clown dude, sure "anyone could use weight" but this kid is a fucking stick, if he want's to make it to the next level he needs to add weight
Robert clown
SanFranFan30 yeah just like Kevin Durant dumbass. Obviously elite colleges will have diets and a great weigh program dumbass
Chet vs Kai Sotto 7’2
Kakainin ni kai sa ilalim yan.

@@jjyusop1396 si makur maker nga wlang nagawa yan pa kaya.
@@luckylluisma6195 makur is so overrated!
@AlphaWolf Minus we gon see in the league hopefully
Shows how much the game has evolved, with bigs now having the movement and skills of a point guard.
It hasn’t evolved. That’s why the Lofton Jr. kid lead the team in point’s. Go back to that 84 draft and tell me you don’t see a difference.
Those are some smooth buckets. ☮️
Dude better get a body or he's gonna get bodied...
Nah, look at KD. Even when he was super super skinny, he still killed it simply because of his length and shooting skills.
Manuel Perez KD is a generational player and his situation isn’t typical. This is just some random high school kid
@@Donnie-sg2cj I don't disagree and the chances this kid even makes the NBA is very very slim. I was more making a comment that bodytype is not that critical in today's basketball. Gone are the days where you had to be strong and have an inside game. The rules killed that.
@@manuelper His chances aren't very slim he's a top 3 rated player on the high school recruitment list he will go to college and be a one and done.
@Marino Totally agree.
Get this man a sandwich
Your going to need a lot of sandwiches.
Shawn Kemp diet
Im a dog Garcia
or Oliver Miller diet perhaps
but how many of these stories have we heard of..
They hype them up so much
too soon
Stay humble young man cuz its still a long way
Go to Gonzoga dude. That would be awesome.
Dude needs to add like 30-50 lbs stat if he wants to stay healthy.
we already know there are going to be injury's
Doubt that, it's mostly bulky big men who put stress on their knees and ankles that get injured.
I'm from Minnesota and I listen to KFAN every time I'm in my car. I've never heard of this kid until now.
This kid looks legit and he has the right attitude to be great. Confident but humble.
He's got real skills. Just need to bulk up....A LOT
Bulking up in this day and age is overrated. It's not a physical game no more. Look at KD, Steph, etc.
Chet ,and mac in gtown.Ewing his coach perfect fit.
No, Ewings game was on the post. Doesn't work anymore.
@@dhart8451 ewing shot a ton of jumpsuits too.
He puts on some muscle, particularly in legs to avoid injury, and he's going to be a LOT of trouble. Incredibly skilled for a 7-footer.
Any updates on him?
He need more muscles and weight to become a unicorn
Nah
If he makes it to the NBA I wanna see him go against cousins 😂 idk why lol
If cousins ankles still exist.....
Cheap shot
What is the track that starts playing at 2:40 ?
The ceiling is the sky for this kid.
PG who grew a lot in 1 year and is now considered as a bigman. He's like AD lol
Being 6’2 in 8th grade he wasnt no damn pg
@@Himstimdim0 Troy Brown on the wizards was 6'6 since 6th grade and he played pg all the way through middle school and highschool.
Eric Lytle you are speaking from your ass where did you get this?
damn hes like a white kevin durant lol
Good call! That’s exactly who I thought of too. Same leg-torso ratio, similar posture, similar silky smooth movement.
@@JB-ms4wf yea man same body same movements on his ball skills its crazy
High i.q. Has the frame and mindset. This could be a very exciting basketball player into college/nba!
Kid definitely has skills, 1st thing I thought when I saw him(like a lot of you) was get this kid something to eat and get him in the weight room! He said he grew 7 inches in 8th grade I believe so that's just a couple years back, maybe he will start to bulk up soon. High school he will be fine, college he will manage but get pushed around at times but in the big game he will get down right bullied! Seems like a great kid though, I hope he stays humble and hungry!(pun intended) I will be watching to see how it all works out for him, Goodluck Chet. Oh and I'm sure since you've blown up that you have a lot of "new friends", keep good people around you bud 🤞
he'll go to duke. Thats where the best white boys go.
Or Gonzaga
Marquette could use him. Great fit. He would be a force in the big east conference.
He looks like that mod off of the nba where u can make them 10 ft tall lol
Hahahaha hell yeah. He looks like a stick figure
Kai sotto vs chet. Looking forward for this. Exciting match up for both players
Please go to Minnesota
Damn he committed to Duke!! 😂😂😂
Ide have that kid eating 4K calories a day for a year
Daniel Flores definitely. This kid is toooo skinny.
Alan Sawyer yea man it’s just expensive to stick to a mass building diet. But it’s literally an investment for him
Might want to look at Illinois. The staff has been amazing with Kofi Cockburn
Great kid. Hope to see him in the NBA.
The way he moves for 7 footer is pretty amazing
I wish him the best, but he is definitely not humble at all. He will learn the hard way his frosh year of college, but that is part of the learning process and growing as a man and a player.
Chet Holmgren reminds me a lot of Tom McMillian who played at the University of Maryland during the early 1970's. During their high school years Bill Walton (West Coast) and Tom McMillian (East Coast) were the top high school recruits in the United States. I find that Chet Holmgren has a similar body build when Tom McMillian was at that age.
Go to Iowa state there is another 7 footer going rn who plays a different position
So hes a sophomore aiight buddy
Junior, he in the Class of 21
Warriors should draft him since they're tanking so hard now.
He won’t be eligible for the draft for 2.5 more years so the warriors might be better by then
Like to see him at Michigan but he has to put on some size!
Reminds me of Bol Bol. Hope to see him in the NBA in the future.
