I read in one scouting report or mock draft that Chandler has a textbook 
jumper in his repertoire, which along with his world-beating speed up the 
court might make him a better athlete/prospect than Gasol. But I think if 
ever a player had the biggest downside "El Busto" potential it would be the 
Chicken man. He just sounds so far from ready for the NBA: physically maybe 
a good four years away, skills-wise at least a few years, who knows about 
his maturity. Kwame Brown just seems to have his head on straight by 
comparison, in the feature length profiles I've read. A bit closer in 
maturity and self-awareness to a Garnett and Kobe. Of course if Chandler 
fell to Boston, I'd probably be singing a different tune.
