Being injured and Wemby's arrival making the media not focus on him could end up being the biggest blessing of his career.

[@Bob-te3le]

I honestly think Chet Holmgren is and will be better than Victor Wembanyama. Their pretty much built the same and play the same.

I didn’t forget about Chet for me he is the most interesting prospect with he’s lockdown defence and blocking/rebounding ability. He is looking bulkier but just needs to slowly chip away and keep putting on body mass slowly so it doesn’t affect he’s game. So looking forward to him having a great year if he can stay healthy fingers crossed.

[@Bob-te3le]

To me the best rookies and 2nd year players are Shaedon Sharpe , Scoot Henderson , Amen Thompson , Ausar Thompson , Chet Holmgren , Paolo Banchero , Victor Wembanyama , Jalen Duren..

[@TheJudgementofDog]

@@elizabethgeorge168 Nobody was talking about that. Yes, I am aware that they give non-rookies a chance to win rookie awards. That doesn't take away from the absolute fact that he missed his actual rookie season. Blake Griffin is the reason they changed it. There's a whole story behind why they did that. To this very day it's still not fair to actual rookies. Just ask Donovan Mitchell and John Wall.

[@inomaderazo3926]

Wasn't Chet's lack of pick-and-roll presence in Gonzaga mostly because the offense ran through Drew Timme?

[@Wallyworld30]

His grit and toughness is what got him injured last year. Sometimes you need to know your limitations and don't attempt to stop Lebron or Giannis running full speed at you. He should practice taking charges and falling backward instead of trying to stop guys 60lbs bigger than him.

[@UnknownSource08]

Not at all lol. The game he got hurt in got canceled mid game because of the court being damp from humidity.

[@slender289]

​@@UnknownSource08 true his foot slipped and he went out of balance

[@slender289]

Chet also has learned his lesson because you can see when he's jumping high you can see that he tries to fall with his body by sitting or laying in the ground and not with his foot anymore, so he could handle the shock/impact of the fall that wouldn't affect his knees and foot. I bet he adds more pounds into him before the upcoming season starts and Chet might be at 220 by that time because every year plus off-season from his AAU to Collegiate days he adds 10+ pounds into his mass but hopefully he doesn't put on too much muscle or weight because that will hinder Holmgren's skillset & playstyle

[@dreday1062000]

Okc and spurs vs bucks is what I wanna see

[@dewaynerobvais4030]

If you think Giannis is going to just run through Chet and Wembanyama you’re delusional 🤣🤣🤣

[@austinwilliams7379]

You saying it wrong g.. it’s like SHHET

[@khemise1984]

Interesting you mentioned DeAndre Jordan in the take about skilled versatile big men, he's now an NBA champion 🏆 off the bench because off strength of MVP Jokic...the only Lob City Clipper to win from that core, over Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford(retired).

[@ayyyayay]

Off topic, but even if the bigmen will not be as good as we expected, the deandre jordan thing will never happen again since the new all nba teams will now be positionless

[@neilbryanbucsit197]

Hopefully that injury he sustained early in his career humbled him. The NBA regular season is a different beast let alone the playoffs

[@RMCOVERS.]

He’s 1 of 1 there ain’t no duplication in his dna

[@___Anakin.Skywalker]

If OKC were serious they gotta get Bol Bol

[@KZA518]

I think the thing holding Chet back from winning ROY or having a crazy season right away is the dominance of SGA showing he’s a player to build around and coming off a foot or leg injury they should take it a lil slow with chet and let him develop and gain chemistry with the main roster and getting used to an actual NBA season… I like the spurs young talent to but nobody’s on SGAs level there so wemby has a better chance of taking more shots or opportunities as long as he stays healthy

[@AtlMarcus]

Agree 100% I do just want to say tho keldon Johnson, Jeremy sochan with tre Jones controlling the offense are going to take so much pressure off wemby tho.

[@KZA518]

@@AtlMarcus yeah I like the spurs young guys especially Keldon, schohan and devin vassell.. idk too much about tre or would have to pay more attention to his game but I think he’d be a great back up or 6th man… but none of those guys are as dominant or emerged as a star like SGA.. Keldon went off a bit but the spurs didn’t really have many other options.. I think the spurs will take it a bit slow with wemby to tho but just think he’ll have more opportunities then Chet

[@AtlMarcus]

@@KZA518 agreed, tre Jones was the backup pg for Memphis but played a lot since ja was out quite a bit.

[@KZA518]

@@AtlMarcus that’s tyus jones he is definitely one of if not the best back up pg in the league tre jones has been a spur his whole career since 2019 or 2020… ion know tre’s games to well but I know he’s solid has improved every year and could be a good back up if they signed or traded for a legit star or fringe star PG.. numbers wise tre isn’t to bad other than 3pt % being under 30% his fg% was 46% last year so if he improves his 3 pt% he could be a decent starter or a really good back up.. idk how he is defensively tho

at 0:32 there is a video of Chet Holgrem practicing in a place with Hebrew in the back. I couldn't find anything on him being Jewish

[@keyysupreme5048]

chet isn’t here to roll we got him because of his skill of being a pop guy but being 7 foot means he can roll but that’s not wat we need we need his spacing rolling just causes a lack of spacing and having shai going downhill and being able to attack 1-1 with him popping is a recipe to success and letting guys like josh and jdub cut

Right now, Chet is better than Wemby. I believe it is fair to say as of the moment.

[@FilledWithDetermination]

Having a center shoot 3's is such a cheat code, idk what the 2nd tallest position on the court is but if you have that dude at like 6"10 grabbing the rebound off a center three its just not fair. You can tell bro played volleyball too with how he points his fingers down defending at the rim like hes trying to block a spike. Ok im glazing too much but its facts, hes also hella smart for a 7 ft'er ik some dudes gonne be like "whats that supposed to mean??" your odds of being 7ft are TINY pretty sure its below 1% your chances of being really smart are like 5-15% the chances of rolling BOTH of those is craaaaazy. Entirely possible he gets demolished in the league though.
