Papes posted:He has no injury history and there is literally no reason to think he’ll develop one outside of him being thin. Because he plays so light. If he stays light he probably won't be able to play the NBA role people have envisioned for him. If he puts on weight, you are in unchartered territory for him in terms of how his joints hold up. It's not an unwarranted concern.

jackofarcades posted:Looks like Paolo quickly became the big favorite to go #1 on most odds boards. If the Rockets trade up to 1 and don’t take Chet, they’re moronic. Jabari vs. Paolo is a coin flip, so there’s zero reason to give up assets to swap for either of them.

Yeah nobody wants Chet to beef up to 240 and bang up with embiid in the low post. He’s gonna be a mobile “big” who can use his stretch Armstrong body to disrupt shots. Maybe he does get injured which would suck, but there’s certainly nothing known at this point that makes him more prone to injury than any other prospect.

Chet probably weighs like maybe 5 pounds less than Anthony Davis did coming out of college.

They did it. Honestly way better than I figured they would be able to do with just cash. Lately even seconds haven’t been available for cash until the late 40s. Dexo posted:Chet probably weighs like maybe 5 pounds less than Anthony Davis did coming out of college. I heard a podcast last night hosted by David Aldridge in the Athletic feed. He compared him to Ralph Sampson and if you look at pictures of him when first drafted or just walking around now I can see it. That was an interesting show in general, Ryan McDonough is an interesting guest actually.

I mean, he's a fine #1 pick but when the pick being injury prove means you lose your job I totally understand having reservations on his unusual body type.

Rick posted:Noted thing smart people post who blame AD for having guys fly into his knees or blame him for people accidentally Zazaing him. Yeah, I don't think many (any?) of his injuries have been joint related. It's been poo poo like getting concussed by a teammate or people rolling into him or fracturing his hand from dunking too hard.

like also, anyone who has watched Chet games, bigger stronger people have tried to body him and he has pretty much embarrassed every single one who's tried. This isn't to say he's going to like stonewall Embiid or some poo poo. but he's fine

Theory: Having a big that other players will be visually tempted to try to post up will actually be an asset for whatever team drafts Chet. Baiting dudes into breaking off the team offense in favor of low-efficiency possessions
