When chet comes back that team will have very little exploitable holes in the offs. They are my wild card. Ihart good at his role and fills a huge hole. Pause.
Isaiah Hartenstein just got $30 million a year from the Thunder. Timofey Mozgov Vibes.

- Start date
SGA / Jalen / Dort / Chet / IHart is an elite starting 5.
Defensively it goes with out saying but offensively, imagine a Shai/IHart pick n roll with Chet at the dunker spot... they can spam big-to-big lobs all game or force the corner wing defenders to help off Jalen or Dort both now wide open in the corners. That's tough.

True. Ihart is good in the short roll from what I remember making decisions in that space for where to pass. Defensively he wasn't shot blocking like Mitch Robinson but he was solid in their coverages.
Then OkC got Alex Caruso in addition to that. As well as the tall guard they drafted Nikola topic who probably wont play this year but they have him the pocket. Then other teams draft picks as well.
We clowned them that OkC traded for a bunch of 12 year olds back then but here they are.
I was sleep on OKC until i watched them early last season and was like yo wtf these mfers got a core core
Like, i knew Chet was hurt the year before but i don't watch college bball so ain't know shyt about him or Jalen
Legit thought Chet was a malnourished euro and Jalen looked (still looks) like the pudgy black kid who never curled a dumbbell in his life because he's watching anime all day
But they legit could be the basketball gods giving OKC a 2nd chance after that KD/Harden/Russ/Ibaka fumble.

Mozgov isn't in the same league as IHart, who has a very underrated passing/facilitating game.

OP is in here really baffled about why Drummond didn't command that type of bread, clearly his knowledge was lacking from jump
He is. He check marks their biggest weakness from last year. Now in my opinion the only other thing they are missing defensively is a sizable wing at the 4.
I'm talking one of those 6'8'ish Herb Williams, Dyson Daniels types. As is, Chet is fairly mobile enough to guard the 4... but if they choose to downsize and play one of Chet/IHart at center, their next tallest rotation player seems to be JWill or Dort at 6'6.
Both are tough but it's still some height they are giving up.
I miss Ihart so much on the Knicks

the 4'11 Cuban
Dort and Jwill are DAWGS tho.
