Put Wemby on the OKC Thunder, are they better or worse? (alien.top)

There’s been a lot of talk about Chet vs Wemby, and as of late people seem to actually be leaning towards Chet being a better player. However Chet has a much better roster than Wemby, and more importantly better guard play.

So is Chet actually better than Wembanyama? And would OKC gets worse if the roles were reversed

Worse if you swap them, because Victor is just not a good shooter right now. You can point to the lack of playmaking on his team but he's still shooting 30% from three on attempts with defenders 4+ feet away (slight improvement to 33% when just looking at "wide open" 6+ft)

He may or may not be slightly better on defense; but a lot of our offensive gravity comes from + Shai plus shooters and Victor would take away from that while also taking the ball away from Shai (Victor's usage rate is nearly that of Shai's). I don't think the potential upsides outweigh the downsides.

Now, if you give us Chet AND Shai... >:)
