The Lakers’ success heavily relies on Davis after LeBron moves on from the team. As the off-season approaches, Lakers fans are hoping that Davis can overcome his injury woes and regain his dominant form on the court.
On the other hand, 7’1 rookie sensation, Chet Holmgren will make his debut in the coming season. He will play his first game against Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs. Chet?s agility and basketball IQ have drawn comparisons to NBA legends like Kevin Durant and Kristaps Porzingis.
However, there are concerns about his physique. Some fans worry that he may be too skinny and that it could affect his ability to compete against more physical opponents.
Fans are concerned about Chet’s injury?
One fan emphasized the importance of Chet not gaining too much muscle, citing Anthony Davis as an example.
I think it’s important he doesn’t gain too much muscle and it alters his athletic ability like AD, but it’s important to keep adding. It’s a “deficiency” that can be worked around.

Some fans of the Thunder are excited about his addition to their already talented core. Chet easily fits in with the core team.
OKC's core is already nasty, and Chet fits so seemlessly into it. I had him at the top of my big board, and as a Houston fan, it's gonna be bittersweet to see him killing it in blue and orange.

Another fan considers the Thunder to be the must-watch team of the upcoming season.
OKC is the League Pass team this year

One fan noticed, “It’s not how skinny he is. It’s how narrow his frame is.”
It’s not how skinny he is. It’s how narrow his frame is.

The amount of muscle he has gained is crazy, reminds me of a redshirt year and I am sure Chet will prove to everyone how good he really is
