Chet is the Jokic to his Embiid.


He needs to play with a guard. Their +/- is a lot better with Tre Jones. Right now he’s being used to win games but to have feel of different types of defense.


I always assumed it was going to take time and pounds added to make him a winning player. I think the early highlights had some thinking wouod he be ahead of schedule, but to me he is still on track to be a superstar, if healthy.

I don't think lack of size can excuse Wemby's losing brand of play. Chet is even skinnier than he is, yet Chet's playstyle is much more conducive to winning.

Wemby is now shooting 44% from the field at over 3.5 turnovers per game.

He has the green light to do stuff he'll never have success in a playoff series doing.

Springer and two future firsts can be on the table.

Reggie grew up in a rough area of Pensacola, Florida. To get away from the streets, he and the neighborhood kids would sit on the living room floor and play Hungry Hungry Hippos for hours on end. Reggie would win every game. Reggie then had an epiphany and thought to himself "Imma be that hippo, one day" and the rest is history.

Who is Team Canada’s shooting coach? RJ Barrett & Dillon Brooks are shooting the cover off the ball this season.

Giannis in the final 5 mins tonight:
0 PTS
0-2 FG
0-1 FT
2 TOV

Amazing for 3 and a half quarters.

It's because Giannis is more reckless, so he doesn't get accused of flopping for calls.

Oh wait, Embiid gets the cry baby treatment for being reckless as well.

Ah.

Athleticism, defense, and playmaking. He's a jumpshot away from being a complete player. We're super jaded as a franchise because all the idiots we draft never develop a shot, but there are a lot of dudes with high intangibles and work ethic that actually develop. I'm betting on Black developing the jumper and being a stud.
