    Chet would've been the clear #1 pick if it weren't for his frame. He's going to be a special player. I didn't understand why so many people were negative about him. Glad we got Jabari, but if OKC took Jabari I would've been happy with Chet.

    if Chet was a measly 20 lbs heavier heading into the draft, there wouldn’t have even been a debate over who is #1 pick which is why he was the best prospect with the highest ceiling

    You a have no business calling other people idiots when you’re one of the worst in this board clearly. Consistently making dumb threads and have some of worst takes to date. Had Chet struggled today you would be all over this board I told you so I told you so. FOH

    Wait till competition will become tougher. Utah summer league players are scrubs but Chet is much above them all so lets see

    that's literally the lazy cliché since he was playing early in hs. as the competition continues to get "tougher" he still makes in way into the league as a top prospect. so next up is probably well its just regular season. lets see how he does in the playoffs. blah blah blah

    The concern with Chet was, is, and will always be if his thin frame can handle the wear and tear of brutal long NBA seasons. He’s such a talented player. No question about that. But him doing well in a summer league game isn’t going to erase the concern. Not at all.

    The Rockets have Jalen Green so If all Jabari ends up being is the ultimate 3 and D guy, then they struck gold. I believe he'll eventually be more than that, but what he currently brings to the table is exactly what the Rockets need. I foresee lots of picks-and-pops in the near future. o_O

    There is a very good chance I will be proven wrong about being down on Chet. That being said, a lot of guys can look good in summer league.

    Keep watching him this year - from what I saw in college, the guy is a legitimate wing defender. He is better there than in the post. Good chance he can become a 3 in the NBA with time

    Nah i think he will be amazing. The top 5 of the 2021 & and 2022 draft. And it looks like next draft as well are pretty special. Not your Anthony Bennet drafts here.

    Not one but surprised. He was the number 1 player going into his freshman year and OKC isn’t trying to win NCAA tournaments.

    The Magic are gonna regret passing on him

    Chet looked great. I am rooting for that guy and he is really fun to watch. But I would still be both ecstatic and scared if we got him.

    I really hope neither he nor Banchero turn into Mobley on this forum. We couldn't draft either of them - both were gone when we picked. It was always clear, that we would take whoever of the three fell to us. And while I was hoping to get Banchero in the end, and while I still believe Chet has the highest ceiling, I am really thrilled we have Smith!

    Keegan Murray has been very impressive in summer league in three games. I wonder why most not mentioning him along side Chet great game tonight? :eek:

    All Chet need is some advice from Zion on how to gain weight and he will be all good.

    Keegan’s an old rookie…Chet was busting out Dirk 1 legged fadeaways and had a “DO NOT ENTER” sign in the paint the way he was patrolling and protecting the rim

    he looked like white KD with Gobert level rim protection in his 1st game
