Honestly it’s pretty bs that hick towns where folks have to drive an hour just to find a movie theater have to face “equally small” private schools located in the middle of massive cities in state competitions.

My team made it to the championships in high school and at a certain point it was like “okay, now we’re facing teams where literal NBA players stash their little brothers, so just go out there and have fun and I’m proud of what you’ve accomplished this season.”

Imagine being a 6’1 center for a 2A school in Oklahoma and your assignment is Blake Griffin..

I wish we could have had a year of Suggs & Chet at Gonzaga, would have one the championship w/ Timmie & all the NBA guys on that team.  Chet only went to Gonzaga because of Suggs.  

Terrell Suggs? I didn’t know holmgren went to ball so hard university

They should’ve changed their name to QuiteLargehaha considering how much they were havin the last laugh

Having one NBA-caliber player on a HS team almost guarantees winning the state tournament, but having two is just unfair and the other schools are just playing for fun at that point.

Now Suggs has Jonathan Isaac as dood built similar to Chet. Sadly for his new team, Isaac can barely stay on the court. So not as many lob threats out there

My considerably larger public school also got handily beat by Minnehaha, if that makes you feel any better lol

Suggs to be them.

They beat bronny’s team by about 22 in 2019 at the sold out target center

Think about all the seeds his dad blew probably not even top million

Lol you Claire Holmgren fans never fail to surprise me. We’re going season by season, what’s the point of comparing eras when it was a completely different balls-game?

He was the 1st seed in the 2001 Sperm race season, that’s final.

Imagine not being the fastest swimmer in his family. What a bum.

Born with a chip on his shoulder. Vowed to never be 2nd seed again

Call him Chet Faker

Minnehaha Academy is a K-12 school, so in Grade 8 (2017), where you would normally be in Junior High, he actually did make the varsity team.

They were the #1 seed.

OP set you up lmfao

Christain Braun? That guy is a stud for Denver

CB was a junior at KU when they won the national championship but still a crazy run.

People clowning some but that’s actually bragging rights lol awesome stat

This is has been posted before here, in a comment iirc

Technically this also applies to Cameron Boozer so far. He’s never been anything but a 1 seed in his life, even in AAU play, which isn’t included here for Chet. High school, AAU, international competitions, and college, he’s been a 1 seed all his life. 

He has to get drafted by the Pacers if he has any chance to keep it up. Boozer is even more impressive in the sense he also had won everything too until his brother messed up this season. Chet also didn’t win at Gonzaga so it’s consistent. 

they also had Jalen Suggs, and a couple other D1 guys on that team, lol. Because of school population, Minnehaha is AA, so the second “lowest” division (though they absolutely rinsed my AAAA team haha) . With that stacked of a squad, ofc they should be #1 every year.

No

lol. Lmao even. Have you seen how stacked some states are? The ball brothers ffs weren’t even undefeated. And that’s one of the craziest ca dynasties besides Stanley Johnson prob with mater dei of all schools. You got open division cif where even the worst teams qualifying have people that will be playing in march madness. That’s just ca which does have the best ball but ya.

He was #2 behind Paolo

Yeah giving him credit for a season he only played 32 games is also specious logic especially if you aren’t gunna count the season he missed entirely.

But at the end of the day the point of the post is Chet is impactful. I agree. Lol

idk if you know this, but there are multiple future NBA players in a conference.

Top prospects start to play on tough conferences with other top prospects sometimes

Yeah just because he is tiers below Victor doesn’t mean that Chet isn’t a great role player. Elite rim protection with a good outside shot is such a hard archetype to find.

Yeah wemby is head and shoulders above him, both literally and figuratively.

OKC would have to trade like Chet, half their team and some draft picks to get wemby

No one said he wasn’t worse than Wemby. It’s only a problem when people start to act like he’s genuinely a bad player for no reason other than to blindly hate.

Wemby is a top 3 player in the league, but it’s not like the spurs aren’t a great team. Weird how people online try to use it as a diss that a number 3 option is worse than one of the best players in the league.

I appreciate when fans pick up on their favorite player’s rivalries. It’s good to see Spurs fans a little salty about Chet. I cant imagine how pissed Wemby was seeing him win a ring

I agree but i want to add something up. Chet raises thunder’s floor a lot with his defensive impact.

He has been getting a lot of hate due to comparisons with wemby. Wemby is in a tier of his own, he is obviously better, but everybody projected that for him. Chet was a solid 2nd pick and is one of the best rim protectors after wemby.

He is on a stacked team besides wemby but idk why some people especially casuals like to shit on him like he is ayton or even worse.

But wherever he goes, i feel like he is destined to be a winner. Like the post said. Lucky in many ways

Yeah. One of my least favorite things is the way people talk about dunking on a help defender like it’s some mark of shame on the defender.

Most of the time, when you try to block a guy who beat his man and is charging towards the basket, he scores.

But he scores 100% of the time if you don’t.

He’s the second, which is more fitting as he always has a bigger star next to him.

Who is out there saying Chet is bad bc of wemby? People are making up arguments at this point. Chet’s good, wemby is great.

He was glazed coming into the league, but then Wemby appeared and everybody forgot about him. Getting injured in pre-season didn’t help his case also.

#wetforchet

Wrong year, with Chet we were a 1 seed

He was already in the NBA that year.

Pretty sure Chet gets respect lmao.

All star, averaging ¹⁷⁄₉ and 2 blocks. Will be runner up for DPOY.

Chet wasnt better than wemby offensively by any means their rookie years. box score watchers and TS% lovers would say this, im sorry. Chet was 3rd option on the team with 2 great facilitators on the team and 6 guys who could consistently hit the 3 ball.

Wemby was the #1 option on a fucking dog shit team. opponents focused solely on him. not to mention better dribbling, passing, game command, etc.

If the thunder win tonight the seeding is locked.

Yes. Potential DPOY which will average a double-double and can guard the wings and the paint. It’s a no brainer.

Yes, also his contract is good in that he has no elevators in it so if he wins any awards it stays the same

any day of the week

For real he is a highly useful, plug-and-play player on any team, doing a lot of the unglamorous defensive work that many players don’t want to do.
