yeah i remember he was a pretty solid 1v1 defender for a while but the team scheme was where he got lost, not dissimilar to russ in that aspect. i guess you could say the same for both players on offense too... great at breaking down 1v1 defense and getting a shot but not much added in a team scheme, ie movement without the ball.

hes playing like an mvp it might be smart to just focus on that from here on out. giddey seems like the perfect 2nd/3rd banana depending on how chet works into it all.

giddy is super talented but has a long way to go, got stripped by the celtics like five times in 10mins last night, he cant defend or shoot which is an untenable combo

yeah i think simmons had him in the top 40 of his trade value list which i thought was completely crazy. he’s a fun player to watch but if you can’t shoot and can’t defend there’s not really a role for you on a real NBA team nowadays

Giddey's shooting has been getting better this season.
Poku has been the biggest surprise as an OKC fan this year. He's suddenly looking like a pretty solid NBA player after a couple of years of adjusting. He's starting to shoot 3s decently and has 1.8 blocks per game.
Ousmane Dieng is down in G-League at the moment, but I reckon he has star potential.

okc's plan of "what if the whole team was stretched out guys" is kind of brilliant, chet + wemby + poku + dieng would be an absolute fever dream of arm length

I would love to read a really detailed article by, like, a kinesiologist about how SGA does what he does. Or watch an ESPN Sport Science or whatever.
He was the same way at Kentucky. Looks (relatively) slow and like he's not working hard, but usually gets to his spots with enough space to make shots.
It's pretty amazing if you watch it for very long.
― alpine static, Friday, 18 November 2022 00:54 (one year ago) link
I reckon OKC has a chance of being around the play-in game this year if SGA stays healthy and they don't shamelessly tank.
They're 7-8 - half of their losses have been against the Nuggets, Timberwolves, and Bucks. teams with dominant bigs that they need Chet to help with.

yeah but looking at his frequencies, he hardly ever shoots from that distance, I think it’s like 6/7 or something lol
the part of that that means something is his deadliness from within 10 feet. 77% at the rim (coupled with career high free throw rate AND career high free throw percentage) plus 62.5% from floater range…simply unstoppable. now if he would only take some more shots…
and yeah joe he’s been awful from 3 lol
