Would've been a huge problem for Chet in the 1990's.

In today's game, how many centers are dominant inside? Not very many, and certainly not Nurk.

The dude is just soooo skinny. I have concerns about his health long term. He kinda reminds me of how skinny Shaun Livingston was when he broke his leg in half.

“I’d say we’re coming together pretty good,” said Trendon Watford. “Today was better than yesterday, each day we’re trying to build the chemistry back. Having a lot of guys that played minutes at the end of the year last year, including myself, we’re just trying to refresh some things and get our chemistry back together. So it’s going good.”

I think (Sharpe) has a bright future,” said Watford. “Kid is good and it just looks effortless to him. A lot of the stuff he does just looks sort of effortless to him. I love playing with him and I think our chemistry is building day by day. I got a rebound today, pushed it in transition -- something I like to do -- I caught him on the backside lob and he did what he likes to do. I think we’re just building our chemistry together and I think it’s going to be great.”

“It’s almost unbelievable,” said Brandon Williams. “For a guy who hasn’t played in so long -- I can relate to that, not playing in a while -- it looks like he hasn’t missed a beat. I watched some of his high school clips, the guy is very explosive, you can definitely see that. And he’s really young and humble so I think just little stuff like that is going to carry him a long way.”

“Shaedon and Jabari look really good for rookies,” said Greg Brown III. “My rookie year I was very confused, lost. But they’ve been picking up the stuff really good, really fast, being vocal, showing great energy. I’m really proud of the rookies coming in and doing their thing.”
 
Chet struggling this game.

But he changes the game in so many “non box score ways” which is why I thought he would be a great fit if the Blazers got the 1st pick.

Still rebounds. Still changes shots.

When I saw how pencil thin Chet is I noped out on him. I'm happy with Sharpe (opinion subject to change without notice).

As long as his bones are strong don't see how he would be at any more risk than Shawn Bradley, Manute Bol, or a young KG was. Game was probably much more physical then too. I'd assume Gonzaga and Thunder medical staffs feels he is cleared, not at an significantly elevated risk, and ready. Having less weight on his joints can actually help the health of bigs. I agree in that he looks crazy skinny.

Durant was pretty much just as skinny as Chet.
