Dude Chet’s awesome… he made several weakside defensive reads and just swallowed drives up. I would be very concerned as an OKC fan at how many times he hits the floor… that’s not a recipe for longevity for the kid. He will be great if healthy. He will do better with actual good players that set him up for some shots on the perimeter.

You quoted my post where I said I don’t think he wins ROY. You think he does over Wemby or Scoot? Brodie.

Ross and Carey are competing for most annoying summer league player… it’s a close race right now.

George had some good moments. Got very comfortable second half which is nice… I see it. The defense is really rough though. Few times he ended up one on one and got smoked. Lots of ball watching… it’s to be expected but I’ll be watching closely on that end. He made some plays defensively which is good but he has a lot of cleaning up to do. He looks like he’s in great shape… he’s moving well. He made some good reads on passes. Clean up the defense so he can play.

Ochai looked good mostly. Like he does the things I want him to do well. We don’t need to force the on ball stuff… that’s the stuff that is just bad or meh. He still doesn’t get into guys defensively… he makes great plays at the rim in help though… so there’s that. The stuff off of screens is awesome. I just think that’s kinda who he is. Lean into the good stuff.

Potter/Luka/Carey can all get cut… we need to churn out two way guys. Kinsey is interesting kinda. One thing that bugs me… Samanic watches the ball as he shoots. I would think a coach would get that out of him at some point.

Holly with the cringy dish to the other Jaylin Williams in the post game interview… woof.

I thought Keyonte was better defensively than you’re giving him credit for.

Nah… was just jumping on your general Chet doubting. I’d put money on Scoot or Wemby… Wemby I’m not sure plays 65 games but maybe.

IDK man… there was like damn near 10 plays where he did stuff I could see him getting benched by Hardy. It’s not like unexpected but he’s got a ways to go on that end. If he doesn’t clean it up then I doubt he plays a ton of minutes. It’s his very first summer league game so I expect it to improve substantially… if it becomes a trend I don’t think he will be a for sure rotation player this year.
 
The most important thing Keyonte showed to me is some promise as a pg. made some good reads… seemed to be able to get into the paint fairly easily… made some shots once he was comfortable. Wish we had some better bigs to run actions with.

The defense isnt some big long term concern… it’s more about this year. Hardy wont play him if he’s that sloppy… again it’s summer league and it’s his first game.

Sure, give me an equally hot take ;)

Health concerns aside, I think Chet is a machine. Dude is amazing around the basket on both ends. He is skinny but tough as hell and competes. What I love most is that he utilizes his size/skill to get good shots. Not a guy who will use his talent to turn into 8 foot turnaround jumpers like Ayton. I think he will look incredible with OKC’s talented guards.

Haha my take that I don’t buy it with Chet isn’t hot enough?
