Not to overreact but Mara looks ready to contribute from day 1.
He’s playing great defense. If you play defense well on this team you’ll be on the floor.
He is in shape and active feet not on both sides of court.
I still think he’s going to struggle pretty hard for most of his first season, similar to someone like Gobert. He’s improved a lot, but he needs to add core strength and improve his balance. Coach will find him time to play though, so I think he’ll get bullied against the competitive teams but have exciting flashes against the younger teams.
They have two Chet Holmgren now ?
TWOOOOO Chet Holmgrens??
Thats the implication
We cant have a wemby but we can recreate him in the average.
Sam Presti’s Moneyball
Yes and they almost make up one adult man
At least. Pretty sure Mara is about to push Chet out of the rotation.
If your on drugs maybe, but hey if he’s that good then I’m down
Non thunder watchers think ever since that game 7 think that chet barely deserves to be in the league istg 😭
Chet Holmgren was the runner up DPOY last year, an All Star, and a starter on a NBA champion. These nephews man…
Yea, dude saying like its a bad thing. lmao
I mean… as a non okc fan, it is and we fucked if Mara is better than Chet.
Chets getting moved to the 4 officially. Mara and IHart will be sharing the 5.
Mara seems to have much softer hands. Chet really struggles on the gather after getting a pass while moving.
Chet does struggle
Lol, no.
Crazy what Mara will look like in a few years, assuming a positive trajectory.
WTF 2 CHETS?
Yay basketball
Shai’s 2 main weaknesses last year: Lob throwing and 3pt shooting
This game: 4 perfect lobs and 3⁄3 from deep
👀
I think this off ball stuff is going to work. Can I put him at a SG now so him and Luka can be on the same team?
League really let us get a Pau Gasol regen LMAO
I dont think he can play long minutes in season but if they use Mara in very small minutes and slowly integrate him into rotation, he could be Mitchell Robinson on steroids kind of guy.
How does Presti just keep finding these guys
I don’t think a 5* recruit lottery pick from the National championship team counts as finding a guy
Another diamond in the rough find for my GOAT
Very much not a 5 star recruit but he’s hard to miss
He was a 5 star recruit. Was ranked 15th in his class coming in as a freshman
Eh, Mara was getting a ton of attention from other teams. He wasn’t one of those under the radar guys.
Presti is the GOAT GM
People thought he was too slow, not NBA ready. He might actually be relatively slow in the regular season, but he has enough skill that it probably doesn’t matter
Tbf the Michigan guys going to late lottery you’re bound to hit gold regardless if Mara was picked earlier. Just a really stacked class
Credit (or blame) the Clippers if anything
No one found Mara he’s been a prospect since before he came to the US.
Is Aday Mara better than Chet……
Better lob finisher, rebounder for sure, I’d give Mara passing 100%, he’s so neat with it
Chet was second in DPOY. Let’s calm down.
You can be a better defender and worse at the things I listed.
Aday Mara is going to be real trouble for the league real fast.
No lol 😂 because he can score in more then 1 way lmao 🤣 hasn’t even went to the bump once
But probably not watching the game so wouldn’t know lol
I see Wolves fans are in preseason hater form.
Totally not a salty wolves fan
Shai by himself, clears your favorite team. More accolades in the last two years than your team could muster up in almost four decades lol
