I'm not chet hater but summer league is s... when you want to predict the future of a rookie, that's just facts. It will be cool if Chet does the same thing in Season and PO but right now....

It tends to be a barometer of whether a player belongs or not, at least for young guys just entering the league. It doesn’t mean it’s a guarantee they will be a great player, and struggling doesn’t rule out success, just like when Trae Young struggled it didn’t mean he wouldn’t be a good pro

I don’t think anyone watching Chet thinks he’ll come out the gate in the NBA averaging 25-10, or even that he might not struggle initially, but things like the timing, anticipation, footwork, shooting, defensive and offensive awareness, all those are transferable skills. Similar to how you could watch Jose and Trey and see those skillls may take some time to translate, but they are transferable.
