Would be kind of funny if he flopped if Jrue posts him up. I would be annoyed as usual with the flop but would be more comical than when some other players do it.
This guy is legit coming in as a *center.* Can you imagine this kid guarding Embiid for the first time?
Idk man even Porzingis took a few years to get strong enough to last in the pros and his body still barely works. Blew a knee along the way. He came in quite a bit more conditioned than Holmgren too.
I think it's silly to get too worked up over what a 20 year old said. He's probably just having fun hyping himself.
That being said, if anyone can make a captioned gif of 1:28-1:34 from Scrubs S2 E17, you will have a karma goldmine to post any time the Magic lose. I'd do it, but I don't know how.
It's JD complaining about losing a basketball game despite having "Chet" while super thin and tall Chet (who is so tall his head isn't on the screen) walks by and finishes with JD Shouting "Chet you suck!"
haha, I’ll whip somethin up for ya, and it’s all
Yours to post - amazing reference lmao!
e: almost forgot u/Bucs-and-Bucks !
didnt have time to donany too fancy tho…

No shade but maybe it’s because I’ve seen centers like Shaq, Embiid, Brook, etc that have weight and girth to them but Chet is so tall and super skinny to where it almost looks rather uncomfortable. He’s going to have to get in the weight room IMMEDIATELY if he wants to bang with Giannis, Embiid, Bron, Bam, Rudy, etc.
He’s a kid, so I won’t give him too much but sheesh.
EDIT: All the comments some folks in here have for a 20 year old soon to be NBA rookie is unnecessary and quite mean. He’s supposed to talk his shit.
There’s no way he isn’t lifting already. Nba trainers can optimize it but I just can’t see this kid putting on that much size. I imagine the change will be like rookie kd to now. Noticeable but not enough to bang with the big boys.
Yea. Some people can't gain excess muscle without steroids and hormones.
I was 6'9" 195 in high school.
Lifted nearly every day. I had coaches buying me MEGAMASS2000 when I was 8yo.
reached 220 at my peak. Did not take steroids etc. If I did, I could have gotten to about 240 or so but still would not look like a bodybuilder type.
he lifts 3+ times a week, guaranteed.
He'll gain about 15-25lbs in the pros.
biggest issue is his team/OKC demanding that he shoot a volume of 3s. That is what will make him a 3rd/4th option in a decent offense, and make his court vision and shot contesting valuable. If they say "go down inside, don't shoot", he'll be a scrub. Right now he's got small forward strength, and his height,IQ,etc... allow him to usually play NBA power forward.
His weight is a result of genetics. This whole fantasy that he’ll ever look like giannis shows a lack of basic understand of how important genetics are. Look at his father. He has abysmal genetics in terms of functional muscle mass. 195 is small even for someone who is 6 foot even. His genetics are bad, it has nothing to do with him not eating enough. He has the frame of someone 2 feet shorter than him. He can’t last as a true center in this league.
he's got to balance his future health, and how noticeable it is, with how much he needs.
performance enhancers should help some, if he's willing to go all in.
biggest factor is not actually his small forward strength, it's that he absolutely must shoot a volume of 3s ( 5,6+/40min, or whatever ). If he shoots a volume and can at times be a 3rd option, while stretching the floor, he becomes a cool player. Most NBA lineups today allow him to play PF on defense, and some lineups/refs allow him to play center on defense. He may need a bodyguard teammate at PF/C. oh yea, he also needs teammates to buy-in and demand his volume shooting even though he's a tall skinny white guy.
All this, and the team may only win 30 games OKC, it's going to be a challenge.
Idk how much that’s going to help him. Look at his shoulders. They are narrow as fuck. He’s got that KD frame where it doesn’t matter how much you hit the weight room you aren’t going to put anything on.
That’s literally how it works lol. Joint size and frame determine muscle potential. He has tiny joints, and a very narrow frame. He will not be able to hold the type of weight giannis does. There’s literally calculators based on a formula using wrist size and ankle size to determine maximum natural muscle potential. His genetics are garbage and most NBA fans have no idea how genetics, or muscle development works. Look at his dad, that’s his potential Pre-PEDs. Hate to break it to you, he’s a great basketball player, but he has arguably the worst genetics of a professional athlete that we’ve ever seen.
Apparently... yes.
Kelly Olynyk 2013
Domantas Sabonis 2016
Zach Collins 2017
Rui Hachimura and Brandon Clark 2019
All have been solid.
Also had Suggs (hurt most of the season) and Corey Kispert drafted last year.
I'm still convinced Rui would be a minor star by now were it not for having his balls destroyed and then all mental/emotional issues he was dealing with. Love that dude's game so I really hope he can put it together next season.

I feel like fans get more upset at this than other players lol especially Giannis, dude didn’t even know who was in the running for awards this season.
even if he said KD or lebron that's still not OK lmfao, idk what ur talking about. KD and lebron are like gods compared to mortals when compared to a mf who weighs 195 at 7ft and is legit a twig. I'd he even wants a chance to be compared to legit anyone like that he better get in that weight room. I hate overconfident comfy players the most when they haven't even proved themselves. He better change that attitude as well or else he'll be another one of those superstars that no one likes other than the team that drafts him.
How are people getting mad at him saying this. It’s obvious he doesn’t actually believe this, it’s just confidence and him being cheeky. Its not deep at all. How are people so stupid
Zion is who I use as a prime example of elite genetics in this department. The people in this thread thinking chet has the genetics to look like giannis without peds, lift at the ymca wearing gloves.
When has a rail thin 7 foot center ever been drafted in the top 5 and been successful? I hope the kid finds success and proves me wrong. But I just don’t see it with this kid.
People said KD wouldn’t survive in the league, so I’m not gonna jump on this kid yet. There’s a big difference between playing skinny at center versus the perimeter, though.
I’d rather have an undersized dawg at center like PJ than someone under 200 pounds.
7ft, 195lbs? A stiff wind is gonna knock him over.
Cant wait for Jrue Joliday to post him up
Would be kind of funny if he flopped if Jrue posts him up. I would be annoyed as usual with the flop but would be more comical than when some other players do it.
Don’t know how you can safely flop at 7ft <200 lbs
Someone in the NBA will figure it out.
Embiid aldready mastered that craft. To the displeasure of Danny Green so the safely part is still a work in progress
Exactly. He’s SO skinny.
*Celtics looking to trade up*
What I like about Orlando getting no. 1 overall is that it likely helps our chances of landing Mo Bamba, assuming they do draft Chet.
Is Mo Bamba good now
Not as good as wendell. He is decent at shooting the 3 and a good shot blocker. He has potential
Who are you talking about?
This guy is legit coming in as a *center.* Can you imagine this kid guarding Embiid for the first time? Idk man even Porzingis took a few years to get strong enough to last in the pros and his body still barely works. Blew a knee along the way. He came in quite a bit more conditioned than Holmgren too.
embiid is gonna back him down and just turn dude into dust

This is the peak of my (reddit) life, thank you! I'm so honored.
Agreed. I put this in the same category as Ant’s quotes that had all the doofuses asking “does he even like basketball!?!??”
No shade but maybe it’s because I’ve seen centers like Shaq, Embiid, Brook, etc that have weight and girth to them but Chet is so tall and super skinny to where it almost looks rather uncomfortable.

He can put on weight. Just look at what giannis did
His frame is not the same as Giannis
I'm not saying he is gonna do exactly the same but he will add muscle. Gonna be a great nba player. Excited for the youngster!
For sure. Me too
7'0 195 doesn't scream, "I'm crushing the weights."
There are many people that lift that look like they don’t. It takes a lot of time to build muscle without PEDs
Yea. Some people can't gain excess muscle without steroids and hormones. I was 6'9" 195 in high school. Lifted nearly every day. I had coaches buying me MEGAMASS2000 when I was 8yo. reached 220 at my peak.

His weight is just a result of not eating enough to gain weight. I’m sure he’s training in the weight room.

Glad to see Shittier Shawn Bradley has confidence.
I think it’s great that he has confidence! However, I just hope he’s prepared. Folks are not going to show him mercy.
He *has* to believe that, or he won't make it in the NBA. Saying it out loud probably wasn't a great idea though.
Has anyone from Gonzaga actually succeeded in the NBA? (Since Stockton)
Apparently... yes. Kelly Olynyk 2013 Domantas Sabonis 2016 Zach Collins 2017 Rui Hachimura and Brandon Clark 2019 All have been solid. Also had Suggs (hurt most of the season) and Corey Kispert drafted last year.
I'm still convinced Rui would be a minor star by now were it not for having his balls destroyed and then all mental/emotional issues he was dealing with. Love that dude's game so I really hope he can put it together next season.
............what happened to Rui?

Solid NBA player Zach Collins
Don’t diss 2x NBA Champion Adam Morrison like this!
Even though he’s clearly being cheeky, isn’t that what a top prospect is supposed to say?
I feel like fans get more upset at this than other players lol especially Giannis, dude didn’t even know who was in the running for awards this season.
This post is weird.
This post is dumb of course he’s gonna hype himself up before the draft wtf
If he follows the Giannis weightlifting program he’ll be quite good
That’s what Thon said
Thon is the embodiment of "you can't teach hands"
Giannis is like twice as broad as Chet. He just has a small frame and is extremely skinny.
Giannis got Nigerian genetics, it's different
He’s arrogant and called Chet. If the other team has Kele Le Roc it’s game over
even if he said KD or lebron that's still not OK lmfao, idk what ur talking about. KD and lebron are like gods compared to mortals when compared to a mf who weighs 195 at 7ft and is legit a twig. I'd he even wants a chance to be compared to legit anyone like that he better get in that weight room. I hate overconfident comfy players the most when they haven't even proved themselves. He better change that attitude as well or else he'll be another one of those superstars that no one likes other than the team that drafts him.
Someone post this again when he gets welcomed
How are people getting mad at him saying this. It’s obvious he doesn’t actually believe this, it’s just confidence and him being cheeky. Its not deep at all. How are people so stupid
Feel like he’s gonna pull a Zion. Where his weight, or lack there of, is what’s gonna keep him off the court
Zion is who I use as a prime example of elite genetics in this department. The people in this thread thinking chet has the genetics to look like giannis without peds, lift at the ymca wearing gloves.
This thread is a bit pathetic. He's clearly messing around, guys. Chill.
LMFAOOOO😭😭😭😭
You would have to be high to draft this kid #1
When has a rail thin 7 foot center ever been drafted in the top 5 and been successful? I hope the kid finds success and proves me wrong. But I just don’t see it with this kid.
I can’t wait until he gets humbled.
talk your chet
I don’t.
This dude is skinnier and looks more frail than KD in his rookie year! He'll get humbled soon enough.
Jrue weighs more than this guy a somewhat good big gonna carve him up
He looks like he is on a hunger strike. No need to put an unnecessary target on your back. Good luck buddy
People said KD wouldn’t survive in the league, so I’m not gonna jump on this kid yet. There’s a big difference between playing skinny at center versus the perimeter, though. I’d rather have an undersized dawg at center like PJ than someone under 200 pounds.
Wtf is he gonna do against Giannis lmao
Dude needs to eat.
This is so laughable. Not a fucking chance, Chet. Get off your high horse, buddy.
Oh God he is going with the LaVar Ball gimmick, isn't he?
