Chet Holmgren has the highest +/- among all rookies this season at +95. Victor Wembanyama has the lowest +/- among all rookies this season at -115. A +/- swing between the two of +210. (alien.top)

I thought that was interesting. Obviously Chet has been more impactful but I didn't realize there was that much difference between the two in terms of +/-.

The thunder are 2.6 points per 100 possessions better when Chet is on the floor vs when he is off. The spurs are 5.5 points per 100 possessions better when Victor is on the floor vs when he is off.

Chet is already a great player and contributing to winning basketball as the second best player on a playoff team with great offball skills, good defense, and flashes of primary creation. He’s still less important to the thunder than Wemby is to the spurs.

Again Chet’s been the significantly better shooter and more polished player and had a huge impact on the thunder but they are an all around good team. The spurs without Wemby on the floor are barely an nba team getting outscored by around 16 points per 100 when he’s not playing.

Came here looking for this comment. Far better to compare individual impact to net rating when their overall teams are so diametrically opposite.

Those on/off splits aren’t true when you use Cleaning the Glass which adjusts for garbage time.

But I’m sick of this argument it’s the same talking points over and over again.

Bro half our games are garbage time. I don't see how you can't include garbage time in any spurs players stats lol. You'd have Vic with 15 mins a game.
