[Official] Chet Holmgren as a OKC Thunder thread

I wanted Chet since he was a Mclovin looking ****

 

Chet's much better than I thought (really impressive), but I continue to be concerned about injuries.

 

Look it could have been worse, OKC could have kept Sengun!

 

I know you’re probably just joking, but I’ve heard this several times before. Are OKC fans saying this?

OKC didn’t pick Sengun, we did. OKC just picked for us.
Here’s how it was reported in real time

 

Did not see this coming. Fun to see fresh blood doing well in the NBA.

 

Why is the league "in trouble," (I mean aside from those eye-splitting court designs)?

 

That looks lovely. I enjoy the NBA more knowing the Lakers and Warriors are both washed up with both of their stars playing primarily for career stats and legacy.

 

OKC is definitely ahead of schedule - even their own schedule, i don't think they thought some of their picks would hit the way they would (Williams) or that Shea would go from 0 all star games to MVP candidate in a year.

The thing though is that those teams get expensive quick under the new CBA and you go from "playing with house money" like Memphis to "we have $300 million in guaranteed $ in the back court" in the blink of an Instagram post

 

You have players that might be the odd men out....like Pokusevski, maybe even Giddey.....

 

If it were about actual on-court performance so far, Chet should be leading the ROY race.

 

What? I don’t understand any of that

 

Hang pulls = hesitation pull up jumpers

Younginease >> French

 

Health issue bro. If you can ensure he will have a long and healthy career Chet will 100% be a superstar. It's the logic why Cam fell to 20. People don't wanna pay someone who will sit on the bench.

 

If he can stay on the court, he will likely be better than Durant.
