Decided to give this its own thread so the regular NBA thread isn't spammed to death with summer league stuff.


Entire Summer League schedule in Spoilers:




CHET set to make his summer league debut tonight.

LFG NBA SUMMER LEAGUE!

Warriors drafted the "Brazilian Luka" as he's supposedly called in the 2nd round this year. Looked great in game one.

Highlight:



Keegan Murray dumptrucked in his debut

Need to know more about Brazilian LUKA! Qual e o nome dele?

These are the guys that will get my eyeballs on some Summer League basketball

Keegan back on his bullshit today

CHET ballin

CHET is the GOAT

Imagine this guy wasn't the consensus #1 overall pick

but he’s skinny tho

lol Orlando

When you can take a no defense guy who's ceiling is MAYBE prime Blake Griffin #1 overall, you just gotta do it.

dean on twitter fading the chet hype last night and betting 10k on paulo to win mvp vs chet, no action if both lose

Got courtside seats to summer league on Saturday and Monday.

Entering the Main on Day 2 Friday, so either gonna make a run at it or will get to watch plenty of basketball. Pretty pumped.


I think that has more to do with the roles they're gonna fill and how people vote than who is actually gonna be a better player.

Orlando is gonna feed Paolo early and often and let him get buckets, while Chet will probably play more within the framework of the team. Chet will prob be better defensively, but defense tends to get underrated in ROY voting, I think.

Chet,

I apologize for ever doubting you.

Chet da GAWD. Will his body break in half after like 6 games against the big boys though? Like I picture BAM v CHET and it doesn't end well for Chet

Can the Thunder playoff?

No way.

1. Suns
2. Grizzlies
3. Warriors
4. Clippers
5. Nuggets
6. Timberwolves
7. Mavs
8. Lakers

and Pelicans (with healthy Zion) and Kings trying hard to playoff.

Thunder will want to tank anyway.

What if the Thunder get the #1 pick next year? Do they play CHET and Wembenyama together? The real slim towers

Chet bust

Just wait

devil's advocate: why was he so underwhelming in the NCAA tourney?

That's a good question. Gonzaga has Drew Timme, who is just a great college basketball scorer(probably won't ever stick in the league) and he got so many touches as they just forced the ball to him over and over. He took a ton of shots in all 3 of their tournament games. But, if you look, CHET was decently efficient with his low amount of touches. He also had 4 blocks vs Memphis and 2 blocks + 14 boards vs Arkansas.

I've been watching CHET so long that I kind of blindly brush off things like this that others fairly have legitimate concerns over(he barely scored vs Texas early in the year too). He had a game in high school where he was teammates with Jalen Suggs and they were playing a nationally ranked team with a bunch of prospects and he just played defense all game and barely tried scoring too. Had like 10 blocks that game and let Suggs run the show. Then you see him later that summer play Emoni Bates in an AAU game and he puts up like 25-30 or something. He just kind of morphs into whatever role is needed of him which is kinda cool to me.


But to me it just seems so obvious his game is going to grow into a guy that averages 25+ because he's so skilled. Had he gone elsewhere on a team that didn't have a national player of the year offensive juggernaut like Drew Timme, we probably would have seen him score and carry a bigger offensive load quite a bit more like we saw yesterday in the summer league.

But I can see why it's a huge red flag. You certainly expect someone who is great to be great in the biggest moments instead of playing second fiddle and only attempting 7 shots or so.

Is this question about CHET or Jaden Ivey?
