    I don't think it is a competition Chet has been a lot more efficient so far Wmeby just gets raw numbers cuz everything goes thru him.

    Chet is more skilled. Wemby is more physically gifted, taller, more athletic. Chet is playing on a better team so that he can do his things without having the pressure of carrying the team.

    Who will be the better player depends on how much Wemby will develop his skills--and of course, health.

    I'm wondering about anyone who said a guy who skipped college for the new G League route was "proven". Lol

    I have warmed up to Chet a lot but I'd still prefer Green

    Not mutually exclusive as Chet was in Jabari's class....and those 2 should be compared.

    The quote said they wanted to trade Jalen for the 2nd pick (to draft Chet)...

    Shot blockers get dunked on. It happens.
    Chet is still ultra efficient.
    He’s a slightly smaller, slightly more athletic, better shooting, less skilled offensively, more skilled defensively version of Wemby. That’s a potentially elite player.

    Crazy how good a player can look when not guarded by Sengun....

    Just realized Thunder played 14 players in that SAS game. Preseasonesque.

    I'm honestly just happy Stone stole Sengun from them. Can you imagine Sengun, Chet, SGA, Jalen Williams and Giddy on the same team? Rest of the league would be done imo.

    On our end without Sengun Rox would either keep CWood or we'd be starting Landale right now lol.

    Reminded me of when San Antonio gave us Scola because they had no minutes at PF.......

    Scola obviously is not as good but he was a player in his own right.

    It was a hard foul, but he's molding himself to do Bowen or Rodman-like things.

    So borderline yes to do whatever it takes to knock the best players off their game.

    When he got drafted, his frame looked as sturdy as dried spaghetti. This year he looks as sturdy as dried linguini.
