Strengths:
A freakish athlete, arguably the most explosive frontcourt player in the draft and one of the best overall. A highlight waiting to happen. More than just a dunker, Chriss has a very nice shooting stroke and touch. He can knockdown midrange shots and has even shown the ability to extend his range to the college three-point line. He has the ability to face up and use his quickness to get to the rim. Chriss has a lot of potential as a defender with his length, and quick feet. He utilized his length and athleticism well to register 2.6 BPG per 40 minutes. Chriss has immense potential, but he’s still a long way from realizing it. For a team looking to roll the dice on upside, Chriss offers one of the draft's biggest boom or bust picks
Weaknesses:
His low rebounding output is the first thing that scouts mention when dissecting his game. Considering his physical gifts, 5.4 rebounds per game should be higher, even at 25 minutes per game. Lacks focus and discipline defensively, too often bites on pump fakes, leading to foul trouble. Chriss often tries too hard for the steal or block and doesn't stay in a defensive stance.
