You're probably right, but given how much he's improved in such a short amount of time, I think there is a world in which he becomes a superstar in this league.
There are a lot of people that believe Reeds ceiling is great rotation player and nothing more. Those doubters will never believe otherwise until he is actually doing it.
Curry was not Curry until he met Klay, Draymond and Kerr..... Sure, we don't know, sometimes the people we meet are going to make us better, who we are.
Wemby is definitely generational...Chet is not. Chet is a good player but gets way overrated sometimes. I don't think you can put Chet on the Wizards and have them competing for a playoff spot. You can do that with Wemby though.
Well, return in 3 years, Google Bro......you have a point if he does not blow up offensively. It is basically a .....do you believe in Aliens or God question. He is already generational defensively.....he is basically in Year 3 ...he missed a year. He gets overrated because there is no other big than Wemby or Joker that could give him massive problems.
Lmao everyone on the Wizards is pedestrian......there is not much you can do ....you have to revamp their organization, GM, fans..... At least the Presidents get to reside there. I would rename them Bullets and go with that.
Wemby has the freakish length nobody has, but Chet is already better at certain skills than him. If you only go by physical traits yes, but Chet is not a short man either. And it is a coin toss whoever gets to be healthy enough.
Nah you smoking. The three ball, maybe that's it. Everything else Wemby is much better than Chet at. Chet is a good fringe star level player, Wemby is a generational multi time MVP level player, not even close. You said there's no bigs that give Chet's problems? Sengun has won many a matchups against Chet. Sengun averages 24, 8, and 5 against him. Again, he's a good player, but there's a list of young players I'd have over him and if Reed keeps this up, I doubt you'd find anyone here wanting to trade Reed for Chet in a hypothetical. Only thing that stops Wemby is his health. That's it. If Wemby is healthy for most of his career he's going to break many records, win more than 1 MVP, and if he has the right team a couple of championships. Chet also plays with SGA and will be in his shadow for as long as he does.
Dude, I doubt there is a Jordan or even a Lebron today. What Wemby has done is basically living off his physical presence, has he scored 60 or 70 like Luka or Mamba, no...... I am not saying he is not generational but I am not really that fascinated by his skills. His skills are fine but not otherwordly like his frame. Give Harden Wemby's body and he is dominating for sure. Give Curry Wemby's body and he is dominating for sure.
The real reason why Giannis is not generational although he has one of the best bodies.....is his skillset. He is quite skilled for a big guy but far away from being great.
Fair enough but he is improving rapidly. I am talking about their games and not who is 2nd in Command or who is not. Then nobody is generational right now from the young ones..... Because Wemby dude is often too easily taken out by the Suns, by Sengün....... A great talent like that should not be taken out that easily. Ok. Let's agree to disagree and we see if they survive their primes.
I see the SGA part more mildly than you. SGA is going to age and get older, once he is old, either Chet or JayDub will take over.......(or if they have another high lotto pick) I doubt that whole overshadowing thing is even a thing, it is going to be a smooth transition. For instance, Duncan took over from David Robinson, Kawhi took over from Duncan for few years.
You should put all your replies in one post, but I don't think OKC has much to worry about when it comes to SGA aging. Jdub is A LOT better than Chet though, he's their 2nd guy and I think he'd be an all-star no matter what team you put him on. Chet though is way overrated, I mean you said he's generational, maybe you just meant as a prospect. As an NBA player he's been good, when I think generational I think 'special'. It's something you see right away with a guy like Wemby or Luka or Lebron where the moment they put on the jersey, even rookie year they are dominating. I mean, Sengun is the better player than he is by every metric he has and I don't think anyone sees Sengun as generational. sengun same age, no way in hell I'd trade Sengun for Chet straight up. H If you meant going into the draft he was thought to be generational...yeah sure, I'd give you that...but that was said from all of those three. Paolo was someone guys on this board wanted for years, generational scorer. Jabari was this 6'10 Klay Thompson Chet was kind of like Wemby before Wemby came into the league. Uber tall guy that can dribble and shoot and block a ton of shots. We know that draft prospects always get a little bit extra spice to them. I mean, Cooper Flagg was generational too and I'm sure he'll have a great career but again when I think of generational guys I think of Luka, Lebron, Wemby, yes Jordan...guys who dominate from day 1. You know how I feel about Chet actually? How I felt about Klay Thompson for most of his career...in that Chet was drafted to the perfect situation for himself. To bring this back to Reed Sheppard...out of all the top 5 picks we've had, he might be one we just hit on. I think it's something that he's having all these big games against good opponents too, like he's rising to the moment.
Lol, you just have too many thought strains, nope, I think the generational tag should not be handed out so easily either so.... For someone that size, I am surely disappointed in Wemby's so called skills, he surely was not as good as advertised, sure, he is a very skilled player but generationally skilled? Nope. I still think the fans are in for a treat, both Chet and Wemby are going to battle it out......also healthwise. I follow Chet almost 3 days a week, so yeah, I know what's up and how he has improved. Also to my surprise, dude has tons of potential to get close to generational for my taste.
You think the generational tag shouldn’t be handed out so easily and then you call Chet generational? Okay bro.
