Just watched him stuff Myles off the backboard, take it the the length of the floor, dust Myles on the other end with a nice behind the back move, and then yam it with two hands.
It really does make me super uncomfortable. He’s 7 feet tall and has the legs of a greyhound.
Human sized praying mantis!
What’s crazy is the likely 2023 1st overall pick (Victor Wembanyama) is even taller and skinnier than Chet, if you can believe that
That is an interesting dynamic. Even if we had our other issues this season, a returning Myles would still be a popular Knight forever. But at UCLA, he is just another guy they brought in to attempt to win a title. From an academic and "close to home" angle it could still be a better fit for Myles, but from a hoops side, the expectations went WAY UP.
You talking about the beat down by St. Mary’s or the total whooping by Houston?
Everybody who's watched Myles play on a regular basis knows what he's capable of, and what he's not capable of. UCLA didn't expect him to be their starting star center. Playing against a taller, agile, probable lottery pick (Holmgren), and another offensive minded big man who'll probably go late first round to mid second round (Timme), is not an easy task for any center, and especially when other players on your team are getting spanked by the opponent too... So far in 6 games, Holmgren and Timme are shooting a combined 73-109 from the floor.
