Chet is the closest thing the league has seen to KD since KD entered the league. I don’t even consider him a center to be honest I see him as more of a 3 or 4.

so ridiculous. Chet's dribbling ability is pretty poor. Durant gets stripped a ton or turns it over a ton and he still has smoother handles than Chet.

you just watched one highlight and are now comparing him to another lanky guy that played in OKC.

There's a ton of differences. There skill sets aren't the same at all.

Wing on offense, center on defense

[–] Giroux-TangClan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Depending on the matchup. Didn’t cover embiid.

Elite help though

What a User name

boiling down chet’s offensive game to that of a wing feels unfair. he’s an extremely efficient interior scorer/play finisher with a versatile skillset. the vast majority of his jumpers are catch-and-shoot looks

[–] twrs_29@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

sounds like a wing tbh

This kid is the real deal. Okc have themselves a squad.

HOLY CHET

[–] Suggestitt@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So many people said he would be worthless against Embiid (as if every other player in the league isn’t) but anyone who actually watched him play in college knew his skill set was unique

[–] Ill_Celery_7654@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He was a beast in high school as well. It’s easy to believe that his skinny frame won’t hold up, but I think these slimmer guys have proven time and time again that their body type works just fine for the NBA. It’s not really built around paint play anymore and has become a shooters game.

Brainless take. Chet’s biggest asset is his mature defensive positioning and instincts. KD was the opposite when he entered the league. You just be saying anything based on one play.

So are we just going to down play everything that Austin Reaves has done for the game?

[–] WholeDescrt@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Totally a Durant shot too. This kid is ridiculous

[–] SecondHandFood@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This doesn't matter, but what's up with this comment and u/UnableRat's comment?

both comments are identical replies to the same top comment.
both are from accounts that were made 18 days ago
both only have comments from the last hour
both are unflaired

[–] ElDuderino_92@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He’s considered a center?! God damn he’s just A taller KD

[–] UnableRat@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Totally a Durant shot too. This kid is ridiculous
