That was KD esque

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.

[–] MaximumGrapefruit933@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Wing on offense, center on defense

[–] Giroux-TangClan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Depending on the matchup. Didn’t cover embiid.

Elite help though

What a User name

[–] Apprehensive-Sir-411@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago

sounds like a wing tbh

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

[–] ElDuderino_92@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] WholeDescrt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Totally a Durant shot too. This kid is ridiculous

[–] SecondHandFood@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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

[–] Suggestitt@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

[–] law_school_blues@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] UnableRat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Totally a Durant shot too. This kid is ridiculous

[–] DantifA@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] en_sabah_nur_first_1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] AsizzlesU777@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] justincacha@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Boy is nice

[–] kokaine21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] SpitBallar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

We won the game. The only highlights on this sub are of OKC, and the only other posts anywhere near the top are Embiid hate circles. The anti-Sixers bias on here is as blatant as the refs' gambling ring.

[–] Tambay420@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I feel you bruh. Hopefully someone posts a compilation of all his free throws. That would be 🔥

[–] MFmadchillin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Waaahhhhhhhh

Maybe that’s why.

[–] twrs_29@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

yeah someone should’ve posted those insane Embiid free throws

[–] phishyninja@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Great let’s talk about Joel lowering his shoulder and getting whistles for blocking fouls

[–] xniccru@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He shot that ball so high it almost got out of the frame.

[–] brajpop@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] abzftw@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He didn’t even have that much space.. he just went for it with confidence

Has some fk around energy

[–] Melo_00_7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Chet is a beast

[–] Nope-Rope-h8r@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

54 off treball is odee

[–] bmanley620@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] ThatGuyFromCanadia@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Which sucks cause this year was supposed to be an epic ROTY race, instead Chet might be unanimous

[–] cascade7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] jharbiid@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

On offense? That’s stupid if anyone said that lol I’ve heard on defense which was kinda true they had no answer but fouling though I think j dubs being out had a lot to do with that

[–] DoloTy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Curious how long until yall turn on chet

[–] unwinagainstable@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How is this dude so good already? He has like no weakness in his game. Elite on both offense and defense.

[–] Kvsav57@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think he's incredible but we did just see him fail to back down Chris Paul. Nothing against Chris Paul, but Chet has to be able to beat guards in the post in the future.

[–] fierytomma@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I remember the hype between him and Emoni Bates when both in HS. Their matchup generated a ton of hype back then. He was already very good at that time and had insane handles especially someone his size which was ridiculous. He was known for his great defense too. Knew he would be good so it doesn’t come as much of a surprise to me but he’s so poised as a rookie.

[–] unwinagainstable@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

OKC is just nuts. SGA and Chet are superstars, they have a bunch of good support players all super young and still have a billion draft picks.

[–] ThatGuyFromCanadia@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] Aromatic_Brother@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Chet "The Chet Code" Holmgren

[–] MostlyMellow123@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Odee garfield

[–] Hrolf_Wheetus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't want to get ahead of myself but Chet is the best basketball player of all time and he smells good.

[–] kokukojuto33@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That shot made me shit my pants ngl.

Embiid did as good as one can do to contest that and it didnt matter

[–] Cry-Me-River@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Rookie on FIRE 🔥!!

[–] Fantasy_Ball@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Looked like a carry or travel

[–] bkmamba@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They scouted some good kids through their drafts
