Durant is an outlier though as a 6'11" perimeter player that averaged nearly 30 ppg as a true freshman. Chet's weight/strength are more relevant because he's likely going to be a 5 in the NBA.

He might be a 5 or a stretch 4.  And his skill set is good enough where people are going to give him a chance.  Not to say he for sure will pan out but the skills at his size alone are worth taking a chance on.  If he is able to add some weight, he could be just fine as a 4 or stretch 5 like AD his first year in the league.  

KD also played down low in college for the most part and didn't look significantly different than Chet.  Chet is not the athlete KD was but he isn't a bad athlete either and is skilled enough to find his spot in the league IMO.

Durant was vastly more skilled then Chet at the same stage of their careers by a wide margin. He was hitting over 2 3PFG per game at over a 40% clip, Chet this season is making less then 1 at a 33% clip.
