But the two great rookie bigs in this class are simply playing different games. One only has to take 10 shots per game and fill a role. The other is being asked to post a superstar-esque usage rate of more than 30 and create his own shots with a cramped floor.

Very fair. Chet has been clearly better but the Spurs haven’t done Wemby many favors for the RotY race. Which, of course, doesn’t matter much in the end but that’s what the article is about.
