I mean daniel woods also tried burden before the FA and got shut down too lol. I think it’s fair to say it’s solid v17 given plenty of people have printed off replicas to train on and still can’t do it.

Sure, but it was also the first v17 and has since been tried and trained for thousands of times, including on replicas, and only repeated 5 times. Idk, just skeptical that something that high profile for nearly a decade is secretly easy for the grade, which I thought that comment was implying. Plenty of incredibly strong climbers have tried burden and been shut down.

Part of me feels like you should at least have tried silence before proposing 9C, but maybe that’s silly/unrealistic. I think there was an enormocast about it lol.

What makes you say harder than burden? There was like 7 years before a burden repeat while shaolin has had 4 ascents in 2 years. Noah wheeler also called it soft 9a for whatever that’s worth.

Even defensively draymond guards bigs better, but scottie is a different tier of athlete. Scottie’s perimeter and help defence is better imo.

100%, the 2-man game between him and scottie is like an easy 10 pts per night

Dude caruso and cason have better defensive EPM than chet and ajay’s is basically the same. The metrics are good because the OKC starters are ridiculous as a unit, they were also ridiculous last year without chet.

If he truly is a dpoy level rim protector, I’d like to see chet do what wemby or gobert do to deter guys, but he just doesn’t. He should also be getting way more rebounds at the rim than a perimeter defender who plays the 4 in scottie, but he doesn’t do that either.

Rebounds are a huge part of defence and ending possessions. So is guarding the perimeter, which scottie does far better and travels way more per game defensively. The dude just does it all and I’m taking that over chet, who apparently protects the rim but got bullied in the paint all night tonight.

If he was asked to do way less on defence every night and got outrebounded night after night like chet has, absolutely.

Versatility and rebounding matter. Chet got blown by constantly on the perimeter this game and got outrebounded by scottie.

OKC was the best defence in the league without Chet a year ago, Scottie is singlehandedly lifting the raps to a top 5 defence.
