Gets bullied quite easily when players attack his closeouts due to a low center of gravity but heโs still a good defender just loses a lot of value overall compared to whatever happens in the RS. Anyways yeah the Chet shit is just ridiculous nobody knows how to evaluate him.
The fact people think this Chet shit is only some โWembyโs a bad matchup!โ thing as if it was a 1v1 or something and not the fact he couldnโt punish a single smaller player on the Spurs cause he fucking sucks is everything wrong with hoops discourse and just people in general
On defense he canโt play traditional PNR defense as a 5 cause heโs too small to get boards and in the PS situations CHANGE in guarding other teams you have to adapt. Hes simply just limited to being a solid rim protector on low volume heโs not great on the perimeter
Didnโt even realize OKC were better on D this year than last year even with JDub missing like the whole year almost lol. When people say Shai has no help they just ignore the fact he has arguably the GOAT defense on his side.
