Chet Holmgren- Basketball's Next Unicorn?
Honestly thought Embiid would be a bust coming out of college. 0% due to anything basketball- just health. The fact he's even played 328 games is a miracle. Was a high variance pick and he hit his ceiling. Great draft pick even with the injuries. I was always skeptical of Chet but even I would have taken him #2 overall. Just too much potential to pass on and the NBA is all about finding a superstar not B and C tier players.

Have heard of people with a Lisfranc injury still dealing with pain even a year after surgery. Not sure how common that is though. Maybe medical technology/science has improved.

We're at a unique time in NBA history where a player can be dominant defensively against one team and nearly played off the floor against another team. If it was still the early 2000's Gobert would have much more value come playoff time.

Gonna be a traditional meh type Cowboys season. Not horrible. Not great. Jerry becomes richer. Rinse / repeat.

Chet Holmgren- Basketball's Next Unicorn?
Players with Chets size and frame who start to have foot issues have a horrible track record. Has killed a lot of big mens careers. More concerning considering it was just a normal drive from Lebron that he'll get hit by 20 times a game. Obviously it could just be bad luck, but not great.

Don't think its as quite as bad as when Danny Ainge took advantage of the Nets with the old Celtics guys but once again he proves he can put another GM over the barrel and get way more than most would expect. Wolves went all in and they are still have the 13th best odds. Actually think Gobert is a regular season floor raiser but that doesn't mean much to me. Maybe the Wolves exceed expectations and are the 7th or 8th best team or so entering the playoffs. Okay I guess. ANT is impressive but probably won't hit his peak until 3-6 years from now when Gobert is already out of the picture.

Believe Minnesota has the 13th best odds to win the title and Gobert is in his 30s with a monster contract. Would figure trading 5 first rounders is either a win now move (gives you a top 5 type team) or for a young all star with lots of runway ahead of him. Bad trade imo.

I'm shocked Chet is already hurt.

I would not do well trying to tackle Turpin in the open field.

Jaden Hardy is worse than Dennis Smith Jr. When can we cut him? Mavs roster beyond Luka would be in the lottery.

How can I bet against the Twolves in the playoffs? Sure they will be fine in the regular season but flop when it matters.

Gobert is a liability against teams like the Clippers and Golden State ie the best teams in the West. Why go all in when your best player is 20? ANTs peak isn't for another four years at least.

Portland and Minnesota had the worst off-seasons. 5 first round picks for 30 year Gobert is laughable

40% of the NBA is always in Vegas the 1st week of summer league. Ran into a couple NBA players when I was there last year.

How KD ended up with Ben Simmons and Kyrie is beyond me. KD should go to Toronto. They have the assets and he can lift that team to a chip.

Chet Holmgren- Basketball's Next Unicorn?
Chets skills are top tier. Just mainly depends if he can play 75+ games a season against grown men with his body type. I'm honestly shocked Embiid has held up. I figured he would start breaking down by now.

I can't tell if he is just ugly or has dumb face. Michael Beasley destroyed summer league as well then his face got the best of him.

He looks so frail but definitely very skilled.
