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 +/-.

You forgot Simmons vs. Mitchell? Until Chet and Wemby start taking shots at each other, we are not there.

I feel like they at least waited until the all star break. We're not even a quarter through the season.

I mean it is true that Spurs suck and OKC rocks, but since when did people care about that lol.

In 2003-04, the best score among rookies was Josh Howard (tbh probably the only rookie that season who was kinda winning in any way). LeBron was close to the bottom.

Last season, the winningest rookie was Christian Koloko, with a ridiculous +9 per 100 net rating in his bench episodes for average Raptors. He actually led all rookies in total score by a lot, even though he played like 13 minutes a game lol. I don't think I've ever seen him mentioned.

I think scores are interesting personally, it's the goal of the game after all (for some), but since when did anybody else care that much lol.

This is purely the media trying to create a narrative because everybody knows that barring some catastrophic injury ROTY is going to wemby but there needs to be the appearance of a race so they’ve got something to talk about as nauseam
