    Holmgren has one big advantage over Kai, he grew up in the US and played competitive ball in the US thus exposing him to higher level competition at a younger age unlike kai

    Actually Bol bol was projected to be a 1st rd pick (top 5-10) but dropped to the 2nd round because of his injury history, in fact he was in the green room during draft day ( green room is where all projected top picks stay before being drafted), and yes Bolbol is American

      Chet also got to develop as a guard and had the chance to bring the ball up and handle the ball on the perimeter like a pg. Even coach Allen brought it up, Kai has trouble in the full court bringing the ball up because of his handles. More local bigs that have a chance to develop like that better chance of creating versatile bigs or players who could potentially transition to other positions easier

      • regarding bol bol, he was a consensus top 10 pick but that foot injury derailed him, and he was never the same after that

        SI NBA draft expert Jeremy Woo's breakdown: Bol’s season-ending foot injury has made him into even more of a wild card in this draft. While in terms of sheer ability he can justify a lottery selection, the implications of foot issues for guys his size coupled with his unusually slender body type are all pointing in the wrong direction. As such, it will be difficult for many teams to justify committing a high selection here when considering the risk attached. There were already concerns stemming from his work ethic and NBA fit, and whether he can physically handle a heavy minutes load (something that’s increasingly difficult to justify for 7-foot centers). The possibility of developing Bol into a unique, floor-spacing rotation big should keep him in the first round, but it’s tough to feel overly secure about him.

                        interesting, I think it's good for his career, doing the Lamelo Ball route abit longer, I guess he is out of Gilas for the duration of the NBL and also not committing for the NBA draft..
