So basically all he has to do is gain wieght and he’s good?
That’s the scary part, this weight thing is overblown he don’t need to gain weight

There some real scary things about the game

1- This ain’t the 90s. Strength is not mutually exclusive with quality of players. So it’s not like he’s gonna get to the regular season and that’s where the REAL strong players are and they’ll bully him around. Nah.

2- Also players ain’t getting taller in regular season, and defense ain’t really all that better either. So who’s guarding him? Too slow centers or too short wings?

3- He’s not a pushover. For a non-black player that’s huge

4-This is huge: Josh giddey was also playing and already looks like the inferior player, and was deferring. That’s big bc my concern with Chet was he’d be pidgeon-holed bc he’s a big in a guard and wing dominated league. But if he’s better than giddey, okc doesn’t have anyone better and the pecking order will be 1-SGA, 2-Chet, with a bonus that giddey is a pass first player…for comparison sake Houston seems it will be Green-Porter-THEN Jabari, and Porter isn’t a true PG

Can’t wait until he match up with Draymond
What the fukk is draymond going to do? Be scared to shoot? Pass to Steph? Or are you saying he's going to clamp chet? Which hes allegedly the greatest defender of all time so he should be able to do that to 150lb rookie.

fukk draymond. Ugly ass bytch.

I’ve been one of the people thinking he could be a bust, but kenny lofton getting buckets tells me nothing. The league nowadays you got teams letting point guards cover bigs, that’s bc you can get away with it. That how averse teams are to going to a back to the basket game with a big. Plus Kenny lofton is a 1 of 1 player size wise .

How many big body power 4’s are there even in the league?? With back to the basket skills…that a team would *actually* want to spend possessions going to ??

Horford, Giannis, Tobias, Julius Randle, KAT….Who I’m missing?

The Sixers ain’t clearing out PJ Tucker to exploit Chet. The warriors aren’t clearing out Draymond to exploit Chet. John Collins ain’t banging. JJJ ain’t banging. Jerami Grant ain’t banging, etc

I see the usual suspects ain't gonna recognize this white boy is a hooper. 2015 is calling - it wants its gimmick back. And who are y'all fooling? Y'all ain't gonna give a fukk about Lofton a year from now anyway.

:unimpressed:

one thing about @Gil Scott-Heroin is that he's gonna defend a cac

:wow:

let his name be Chetquan Holmes and you'd be wishing on his downfall

@CantStop and @holidayinn21 are the biggest Dray haters on this board, and they trying to run off stage to quickly change costumes to come back out dressed in all black with their right fists in the air.

:picard:

Draymond called another black man a c00n because he disagreed with his basketball knowledge

:what:
