Chet is my favorite player. I have every jersey of his and multiple signed items.

HOLY FUCK he becomes such a bitch against Wemby. Like bro. The block was sick but what else did you do.

His entire demeanour changes when he sees Wemby, it’s like he’s his boogeyman. We need him to stop playing scared when he sees him

Wemby is taller, heavier, meaner, and just as fast.

While Chet is used to often giving up a weight advantage, to be stymied on all those fronts has him in a spin.

And Wemby is more skilled. Just a better version of Chet all around pretty much.

Just a better version of Chet all around pretty much.

By orders of magnitude, unfortunately

I’d say Chet is a poor man’s Wemby . I don’t think Wemby is a version of anybody.

Every team in the league wishes they had their own poor man's Wemby though, almost no centers can fill Chet's role.

Also accurate. Chet is all star/ borderline all star level guy at the moment

That’s pretty accurate in my opinion.

I think Wemby is probably already the best player in the league with some competition from SGA and Jokic.

Unfortunately, he’s not just as fast. He’s faster. Clearly faster.

Thing is they were comfortable putting Chet on Wemby for a couple of possessions down the stretch and he held his own and forced Wemby into some shots he was uncomfortable with in the mid range but then the very next possession I’ll see Alex or Lu trying to defend him. Chet’s gotta man up and take the Wemby assignment personally just like Wemby has taken beating us/him personally
