Honestly quite a fitting statline for Chet because it showcases both things he’s been doing at a historic rate for a rookie(scoring efficiency and rim protection) at the same time lol

  1. Most of his points were created off the bounce too, people gotta stop discrediting Chet like he’s only efficient because of the team around him

  2. His defensive presence is game changing for us. They kept attacking the paint when he was out of the floor (also didn’t help we went really small) then when he came back in Knick’s shot selection changed.

  3. Insane blocks just when I thought it’s a free basket for the Knicks, he comes out of nowhere lmao

  4. Did anyone look more closely at those last couple blocks? Was hard to tell in real time whether they were goaltending or not.

  5. As a life long Knicks fan and a fan of Chet since Minnehana I had no idea who to root for this game but god damn is Chet’s game beautiful. He had a bunch of insanely hard buckets in the second quarter where he definitely got fouled but the refs didn’t call it

  6. I’ll always remember all the hype there was around Jalen Suggs locally, pretty much since he was in Middle School about him being the best of a golden age of basketball in Minnesota. He went to Minnehaha Academy and was clearly a star but then Chet came along and it was like this dude is from a different planet. Not just as a 7 footer who can do it all but he played with a chip on his shoulder for such a slender dude lol. His mentality is what’s going to set him apart. OKC’s loaded right now but long term that Shai-Chet two man game is going to wreck havoc on the league.

    It sucks because we’re in their division, gonna be a fun but tough…super stressful rivalry. The two games this year have not been good for the heart lol

  7. I had to come here to compliment J Dub as well. Their young talent is incredible. They turned a late 6 point game into an easy win in a few minutes and pretty much everyone contributed.

  8. Is there a chance he’s an all star? Thunder are definitely good enough to send 2…

  9. As a Minnesota fan, can the Timberwolves win one before SGA and Chet go on a dynastic run? Thanks.
