Who had the great idea to put that lanky kid against one of the strongest, biggest and most agile players in the NBA...of All-Time......

I find it amusing the casuals complaining about pro-am when we've never heard a peep about it before.

Bad injury, either he’s going to be like Embiid and comeback around 2024 or he’s another Oden.

Im leaning Oden. Still can't believe they took him #2 overall with his body type and playing style

NOBODY saw this one coming

Dude couldn’t even handle LeBron going at 10% and throwing up a lazy layup.

Good luck to his career cause it’s gonna be real short

Super unfortunate. Was really curious to see what Chet and the Thunder were going to look like this year. Feel for the kid.

The Thunder tank continues.

Presti isn’t even sweating right now. He’s already scouting OKC’s next top pick.

Feel bad for Chet though, really want to see him play with Giddey this season.

He was never a # 1 prospect. It was either Jabari or Paolo.

Houston got lucky in all of this.

Why would he? OKC wasn't winning anything this year and now tanking for Victor looks less obvious.

The least shocking thing. We’ve seen this so many times before. Wasted draft pick. OldMoldy sad today

It was an affirmation.

Still, questions of Chet’s durability pre draft are certainly burning right now. See posts in this thread.

They’re a lottery team with or without Holmgren but I can’t imagine any GM being ok with their top pick missing an entire season.

The glass half full view is that perhaps its a blessing in disguise? A year to work on strength whilst adding (some) mass. He is 20
