As long as he gets us to Victor W. I’m extra rooting for Jabari now

Me watching Jabari drop to 2, to watching the 2nd pick

I don’t know about ‘bust’ but these analytics baby analysts continue to ignore that it’s a guard and wing league. You can be as skilled as you wanna be, you still ain’t more skilled than a guard, so we not running stuff through you. So they gonna pidgeon hole you to get your ass under the basket and grab some boards…and oh yea stand at the 3 point line and hit 3s *when I pass it to you*

So if you’re not good enough to be a primary guy—the list starts and stops with KAT, Embiid, Jokic, AD—-literally the elite of elite players, then you’re relegated to play the background.

Folk should go watch Kevon Looney’s HS tape. Dude has skills. But in todays game no one cares go get your ass in the post.

Looney lost his athleticism with surgery on both hips. So his playstyle is about survival

As soon as Orlando picked Paolo I knew OKC was still taking Chet. These GMs don’t know shyt they can’t color outside the lines

Why does he have on an Hublot? Cuz already wasting money.

Could've copped an Omega Seamaster...

They gotta dress themselves up to be hip or cool smh

Lol I think we a lil desensitized to just how much money these nggas make. The #2 pick makes a guaranteed 34M. And that’s if he falls off a cliff and never plays after his first contract….He good bruh

 

[iamduval]

This is probably the best situation for him to succeed. Just go out there and hoop. I think he’s got all-star potential in okc

 

[HTXBreh]

Im here for it boy got no weight Kaminsky with a highlight reel.

HS don't count when shooting over dudes that are 5'10 and weigh 135lbs

Ingram was a lamppost coming out of college too but he's pretty built now. I don't think a player coming out of school too thin is a major concern. That NBA strength and conditioning training is legit

I think Chet will be alright -- but he looks way thinner than BI did at Duke.

Nah the point is watch him handle and pass. Va how he plays now. The league pidgeon holes bigs, most aren’t showcasing all those ‘guard skills’. Thon maker another example

Thon maker never played one minute of top tier basketball before playing pro, why are comparing chet to random dudes. Chet has thr ability to playmake thats not even his top quaility. He will be used similary to how cavs use mobley. Push on the break attack when he has a big whos slow on him, high low passing etc.

As far as this thread, not much reason given on why he will be, i have no reason to entertain this silly shyt lok

 

[Brozay]

I actually think he has a higher floor than people give him credit for, hard to imagine him completely flaming out. He can protect the rim and shoot, that combo alone gives him great value even if his full offensive skillset doesnt develop
