At worst Chriss will be a high flying big man with decent range, but a liability on defense. There is so much untapped potential for him to become a fantastic modern day big man but work must be done on his post game and defensive awareness. It is difficult to see Chriss as the most important or best piece of the timeline but it is not fully guaranteed he is not either.
