It’s a breath of fresh air for some of the talking heads to consider defense in this debate.

Did you see the nasty dunk Spida had last night?

Yeah, I would have hit him with a flagrant if he pulled that shit on me.

Huh, no more DNP-Fat?

I've always wondered what it would feel like to dunk over someone. The only hops I've ever had were in my beer.

Thunder would be a bonafide playoff team with Chet.

Not playin.

Playoff.

But, his absence has been a blessing for J Dub.

What does that mean though? Chet already injured before his rookie season started. Will he be reliable? Gives a new meaning to the term "straw man" argument...

He had never been hurt before this. Now if he gets hurt again soon yeah it’s a thing, but right now it’s very much a fluke thing.

This is why God made Dunk Ball. Local grammar school around us growing up had 8 foot rims because apparently kids are babied. Cops used to have to chase us off property on weekends because we were breaking rims and shit haha.

Who knows?

Joel isn’t a Ironman, so to speak, but he did just fine.

Blake held up for a bit.

Randle, Oden, Simmons…

All missed most, or all, of their rookie campaigns and returned to varying results.

Chets weight will be a huge factor.

He could be the next Porzingis….

He could be a less mobile Jermaine O’Neil, with a Jumper.

He could be a long ass AK-47.

He could be a bust like Thon Maker.

I doubt the latter.

Time will tell.

And he still can be a big time unicorn superstar

Eh

Dunno about Superstar.

I say Allstar.

He won’t be Shawn Bradley.

But, he hasn’t shown the temperament to want to be the number 1 option…….YET.

I’m trying to think of a guy that light in the ass, outside of the Kevin’s * Durant, Garnett * that were bonafide SUPERSTARS.

It’s possible.

But, I have him as Uber Porzingis or longer Tashaun Prince on roids.

As they say that’s why they play the games. All I know is he was shining pretty bright against big competition before he got hurt. I’m just anxious to see how he blends in with this bunch.

In the Summer League?

Easy, my guy.

I really like him.

But, he got abused by Lofton Jr.

Let’s see him play a preseason game against actual rotation guys.

I think he still holds up.

But, not with those unreal Summer League stats.

That was bananas.

He's such a tough comparison with that slight build.

His build looks like Bertans, but we know he's more than that.

The lazy comparison is Zingers.

But, it’s also the closest.

Plenty of bean polls have done well.

But, what we have seen from Chet, so far, really only matches Kristaps.

Would be awesome if he turned into a 3 pt shooting Jarrett Allen.

But, wouldn’t that pretty much be Evan Mobley, JJJ?

Don’t see Chet being either of those guys either.

Oh, LAWD….lol

By more, I’m assuming you mean the other end of the floor?

Bertans plays defense worse then ….shit, almost everyone.

Chet will have an immediate impact there…imo

@bksballer89

Have you heard about this? My guess is you have but wanted to mention it in case you hadn't.

Heat's Tyler Herro could become the first NBA player this century to accomplish this feat

Right now he's a perfect 40 for 40 on FT's in the 4th quarter. Since the '97-'98 season the most FT's made in the 4th quarter without a miss was 31 for 31 by Brian Roberts, 2012-13 season.

Did not. He finally got around to shooting fts like he did at kentucky.
