Chet supposed to be a number 1 pick? I’m not seeing it. Emoji bates seems like the better prospect. That sort of slow foot speed lanky tall 7 footer isn’t a good fit for the nba. He’s like a smaller slower less athletic Porzingus. And likely gonna be as injury prone cuz he’s gonna have to over exert the max of his limits.

Just like with Baylor, especially the light skin dudes with the Sideshow Bob hairdos. Every year. Smh.

shut the hell up and stop guessing at the injury.

'Emoji Bates'

Good nickname already, one of the steps to being a star

 

[yobyellav]

Agreed on not worthy of #1 pick. Disagree on foot speed. Kid can move, but I don't see him using his length the same way he can in college.

In any case, him going high means the Blazers have a better shot at someone like Duren.

You got a wild definition of 'good" If KD doesn't mind sharing Easy Moni would be far better than emoji.

 

[noskey]

Also, go Peacocks

This first half did not persuade me that there’s no reasons to have concerns about Chet in the NBA.

Timme has no chance.

Yes it is. Tigers by 16.

Not sure why you foul there

Agree. He’s been exposed since the Baylor champ game last year. If they would not have cancelled the December meeting due to a covid outbreak, it would have been sooner.

just curious why you disagree? he can’t go by anyone very easily and he’s not an amazing shooter. He doesn’t seem like he has burst. He has good foot speed and agility for someone his height but at the nba level pretty much everyone has his foot speed or more. Not that foot speed means everything - Luka being an example of just being shifty and change of pace mattering more - but so far he seems fairly straightforward and easy to guard.

I didn’t watch him much before this except that world game. That Wambulance kid from France seems like a way way way better prospect too.

Ndefo

big big big Ndefo fan

 

[jayt1202]

Timme definitely not NBA level, he likely goes undrafted next year and then gets exposed in summer league. He could definitely do well overseas though.

 

[frshstunna]

St Peters really solid huh, nobody was checking for em all season

 

[moderndarwin]

Gotta catch their next game haven’t seen them yet
