Great play by Chet.

But you are wasting your time with this.
People here don't like Chet and now he has Mafran Syndrome.

I'm sure we'll find out at his press conference tomorrow whether or not he gave his medical info to the Magic.

This article says he doesn't have Marfans. After reading the article it does seem to me he has the characteristics. Chet's limbs are abnormally small in my eyes.

You would think a school like Gonzaga would give a complete examination including a EKG.

Even if he doesn't, the Jabari supporters would be sure to bring other diseases soon.

And of course, never forget, to compare Chet with disappointments like Bamba and Bol2x while only comparing Jabari to Kd, Tatum and Ingram

Most days, RealGM posters occasionally post BS that is pretty tough to stomach..."Gonzaga missed his heart condition and a couple of guys on the Magic board cracked the case and broke the story" takes the cake.

I've always dismissed people that said Chet had some kind of condition. His not doing the mandatory NBA heart screening is what has me baffled. I do agree with you that Gonzaga probably checked for it, especially when his body type fits the mold of someone having Marfans.

Austin played two seasons at Baylor and they didn't diagnose him tho.

Well, if he is directing himself to a certain team by withholding his medicals to most teams. That means he sent his medicals to the team he wants to play for and is already sure that the team he wants to play for will pick him.

Then wouldnt that mean his medicals are actually good but just wants to play for another team?

Also, the fact that he went to workout with us is a good sign.

???

Orlando's three overall #1s are Hall of Famers: O'Neal, Webber, and (eventually) Howard.

How has the Magic "blown" these picks?

** = if you want to call this Hardaway, then recall that the 1996 pick was traded so the Magic could sign Horace Grant, the 1998 pick led to Keon Clark, and the 2000 pick Mike Miller.

Hardaway, Grant, Clark, and Miller is a great hall for that overall #1.

..

Lets just say I am skeptical of the current Magic organization.

Holy freaking crap he is beyond skinny. I cannot fathom him being capable of 30mpg in an 82 nba grind of a season against pro's as opposed to 20mpg against kids without incuring injury. Or, being able to condition for long stints on the court.

No media availability means we're drafting him.

It's possible the media interviews him tomorrow.

Nah Magic are playing mind games and doing the opposite this year. Keegan, Sharpe now Chet, no interviews yet there is only 1 pick and only 1 player has interviewed...hmm...lol

Kidding aside, I believe the interview is likely tomorrow.

The guy from Locked on Magic said he had a treat for Magic fans tomorrow. When I heard that I thought it would be a Chet interview.

I heard Paolo loses something crazy like 10 lbs per game because of his excessive sweating. If Chet lost 10 lbs in a game you'd have to dial 911.

I just wonder if playing 4 games in 6 nights might be too much for him until he gains a little more weight.
