Probably because he's been miles better. More assertive, better shooting, better impact.

Chet's defense is what sets him apart for me, dude looks like a vet out there with his positioning

...and his shooting splits of 56-43-88 are pretty dynamite for any NBA star with decent usage, let alone a rookie.

Oh for sure, I just tend to have much lower expectations from lottery picks in terms of defense during their rookie seasons

More mature and NBA ready.
