    And teach your teammates how to pass. And I don't mean the joints.

    Your D will improve when you don't have to cover every time the other team's players blow past our phone-booth perimeter "defense".

    Lots of people will take a mystery box over someone you know sucks.

    It's not a mystery though. Has as many career minutes as we do.

    Chet or Wemby frame is a big no no for me and should be for anyone tbh. They are not even ideas those 2 poor ****ers 100% won't be able to stay healthy and won't have long careers in this league. It took 1 drive from Lebron to paralyze the kid from the waist down. They are just nothing but ****ing bones and since they have no muscle mass, bones do all the hardwork. Chet's BMI is 19, Wemby's 19.2 or sth.Mobley 21.4. Around 19 stress fractures and acl are both almost unavoidable.

    Chet's quality as a player at the NBA level absolutely is still a mystery.

    Correct, because he can't play basketball with a broken foot. Glad we agree.

    True, which is why many will speculate that when he's healthy he'll be better than someone who was awful.

    Speculation eh? Kind of like how everyone speculated that Holmgren's frail frame wouldn't hold up to the NBA? He's got more foot surgeries than NBA minutes but yeah, he's better than Jalen Green.

    Are you truly not understanding what I'm saying here or is it just the pseudo-religious rage that comes from someone insulting your diety?

    To answer your question, yes they still see a hypothetical Chet being better than the actual Jalen who has been kind of terrible.

    Pretty grand projection there bud. I haven't disagreed with your assertion that Jalen Green hasn't played well.

    Just the one where literally anyone with zero NBA minutes is better than literally anyone with 1 or more NBA minutes.

    I'm telling you the reason why other people picked the way they did, your argument is with them, not me.

    Tell them how you think awful is better than a mystery box if you want.

    Oh, well "they" weren't replying to me. So you do agree with me then?

    I think it's pointless to argue that a bad player was snubbed for an injured one.

    Their spots at the end of lists are kind of throwaway anyway.

    Then stop arguing about it?

    He's not just injured. He's never played NBA basketball, ever. Jalen Green has.

    Jalen Green has, poorly. Seeing someone suck is more detrimental to reputation than having someone miss their rookie session.

    That's what I've been trying to explain to you. Since people have seen Jalen suck, he'll actually have to play well to rebuild his reputation.
