No one is down on him, he just doesn't look like the rookie of the year at this point. As I think I said in my last post, it isn't even Christmas yet. If Chet cools down on his 3s he'll be a very different player. Still a valuable one, don't get me wrong, but not what people are seeing right now. With Wemby we've never seen a player his height last in the league. I don't think either will be in the league very long. Around Wilt Chamberlain/Shaq height seems to be the max for the kind of star people are talking about, and they were wide bodies as well. But he may see a 12 year career with six to 8 where his team contends in his conference and from there who knows.
