mobley is the most overrated player of the last several years

his ceiling is #3 on a title team

I guess it depends on what your team needs. I think OKC benefits much more from a top tier defender and floor spacer in Chet, than a bruiser shot creator that is Sengun. I feel that Chet is underrated because all the things he excels at look mediocre compared to Wemby, but he’s an amazing player that had one bad series in last years playoffs.

Sengun is the best out of the three but Mobley frustrates me the most. The guy came into the league looking very NBA ready with some minor issues, might honestly be the one thats the most talented out of the three and proceeded to improve not one bit on anything since he got to the league. He still can’t create for shit and after getting his 20 he decides he wants to chill for rest of the game. When hes out there he just looks like he doesnt give a shit.

In a vacuum Sengun is better, but I think there are a number of teams who would choose Chet out of the three of them, partially because Chet is a ⁵⁄₄ who can play alongside other centers, so his skill set just fits anywhere. For instance on the Lakers I’d rather have Chet because we need defense over offense. Denver would rather have Chet because he fits beside Jokic. Etc.

Not to discount the season Sengun is having. He is the best player of the bunch.

If we’re talking about leading a team, I’d trust Sengun over Chet since I’ve never seen Chet as one. But do I actually trust Sengun as a 1A? Not really. As a second or third option on a championship team tho, I’d take Chet 9 times out of 10

Sengun is a far better player than those two. Only Wemby and Jokic are better than him. They can’t even create offense for themselves, while Sengun orchestrates the Houston offense and he is pretty good on D as well. He is leading the Rockets in every category. People who say no either hate Sengun or have never watched him

Sengun is clearly better than Chet and Mobley. Sengun can be a 1A on a team. These two just can’t be that.

Sengun needs to have better playoffs appearances though.

It’s a philosophical question. Would you rather have an elite complimentary player on offense and DPOY candidate, or a decent efficiency, higher usage, playmaking hub on offense that’s also pretty decent on defense? Title teams usually have the first (think KG on the 08 Celtics for the platonic ideal).

What’s great is these are still young, improving players. Sengun struggled last year playing a complimentary role with better players around, so it seems he’s made it a mission to gradually improve his shooting. Chet’s unfortunately hurt again, but i can imagine being clowned by Wemby last year makes him want to improve too.

You can’t fight against racism with the facts.

No

Chet can’t stay healthy. You can’t be better than anyone not playing.

No

nope

Sengun is an offensive engine, #1 option type of player, which is the most valuable archetype in basketball–if you’re good enough at it to justify the usage rate. So far this season, Sengun has been, which easily puts him above Mobley and Chet if he keeps it going. (It’s still too early to say for certain.)

The flip side is, if you’re that type of player and you’re not good enough and/or healthy enough, you can become an albatross that holds back the entire franchise. Being on the borderline as Sengun has been up until now is a dangerous place to be.

No

No.

Like others have already said, it depends on what type of player you need and what your roster construction is.

Chet is a better role player and would probably be easier to implement into more teams, but he’s almost entirely dependent on other to create offense for him, whereas Sengun is the one who creates offense for his team.

However, if taking their contracts into consideration, give me Sengun.

I’m obviously biased but I’d much rather have Chet or Mobley as 2nd/3rd options rather than Sengun as my 1st option. Sengun has been great so far this season, and it looks like this is sustainable unlike last year where he started out great and petered off as the season went.

bro alpi is gunning for the 1st team all nba this season. prolly wont get it cuz his 3 will come down and his ‘narrative’ sucks. but he is by far the best player on one of the best teams in the nba, a team that has KD on the roster.

things can change, but as of right now there is no comparison between him and chet/mobley

No, sengun is an all nba / mvp contender player , the other two no where near. If you watch sengun you know how crazy of an offensive hub this guy is, he is the engine for every offensive play houston rockets has, dude averages top 4 most screen assists while being the only player that leads their team in PRA. Not to mention his defense this season is great

NO

They play different roles, so it depends on the team around them.  Chet is a 3 and D guy whose D includes rim protection so much more valuable than normal 3 and D players, he has a good enough handle to drive but not much strength so isn’t great at driving against a set defense, and is an Ok passer but again inability to drive against set defense limits playmaking.

mobley is similar defensovely to Chet but on offense is a bit better ball handler and bot as good of a shooter as Chet, and is not a good enough ball handler and passer to add much as anything but a secondary playmaker after someone else creates an advantage, but is a bit better at getting his own shot against set defense than Chet

sengun is completely different than those 2, he is an offensive initiator and playmaker and much better passer, enough that he can be primary playmaker on a good offense with the right pieces around him, but is not nearly as good of a defender.

Team fit matters a ton here, on Thunder Chet is better than Sengun and on Rockets Sengun is better fit than Chet.

Mobley isnt. I’d take Chet but won’t argue with anyone who would take Sengun because he’s the better scorer.

Chet sucks. Mobley is okay. Sengun clears.

Chet and Mobley can both score while being defensive anchors. They aren’t as offensively skilled as Sengun, but they are both magnitudes better defenders.

Chet also was All-Star, all nba, and all defense last season as the second option for the Thunder with dub missing 60 games. Also you say Mobley is elite on defense as if Chet isn’t, he was just the second most impactful defender behind Wemby last season.

I got Sengun > Mobley > Chet if you’re starting a team
