Chets legs are toothpicks. Thats just genetics. And who else did we have that had toothpick legs? Tmac. You put on a bunch of muscle and mass for those skinny legs to carry and you gon have problems. Best to do core strength and body weight and light weight training and just let his natural man weight come on through the years and settle where it wants to.
This is the NBA in a nutshell. Find the guy who can go get it when the game gets muddled up playing Bully Ball. If you have more than 1 guy that can get his own AND create for others in the playoffs - you can win it all.
Obviously not an apples to apples comparison, but it’s funny to revisit old pre-draft takes sometimes. Everybody is so confident in what they say about these guys.
I think Paolo is best suited for that role TODAY. Jabari and Chet COULD develop into that type of player. Keegan Murray, Sochan, Leonard Miller and Dieng are guys who I think could be that type of player with some time.
I can't argue with that. You think Sharpe could be that if he keeps growing? He's solidly built already. Tari Eason another with ridiculous wingspan but would need to improve a lot. Leonard Miller rising fast in rankings is on the skinny side, but i like his frame to get stronger. I just don't see Paolo playing the 3 and i don't see Paolo,Sengun, or Wood playing the 5-same problem with Chet and Jabari. We have a really oddly fit roster with a bunch of guys who don't really have a true position and what's wild about this draft is that there's a bunch of dudes who don't have a true position to add to our already out of position roster. You take Paolo, Chet or Jabari and what do you do with Wood and Sengun? Not to mention tate and kj who are better fit as small ball 4's. You take Ivey and what do you do with KPj who is too small to play the 3? Want to keep KPj running the show? Neither Green nor Ivey can play the 3. Sharpe has enough size to slot in as a SF, but he probably needs to come off the bench or get some run in the gleague a large chunk of the season. Mathurin, Griffin slot in as 3s, but i don't like them at 5. Keegan another undersized 4 who cant play the 3. A true 3 or 5 are the best fits, but there's no top prospect that's a true position of need. Still stumped about this draft.
Giannis comp is more Chet than Paolo. And Tatum has not won jack yet. Neither are great comps in any case.
Draft can’t get here fast enough. So many possibilities. I just want to know what we’re gonna be working with.
um…those comps are ridic. A Dirk-Kawhi hybrid would be like one of the best basketball players ever. Lol, sign me up.
