Small sample size obviously, things always look wonky in the beginning of the year and then stabilize as the year go by, but still extremely impressive. Can’t remember the last time a rookie had this level of impact in advanced stats. Maybe Luka or Zion but they still had the typical rookie poor defensive stats while Holmgren is already one of the best defensive players in the league.
For reference top 15 rn:
Jokic
Embiid
Steph
Mitchell
Scottie Barnes
Derrick white
Sengun
Tatum
Doncic
Kristaps
Maxey
Anthony Davis
Shai
Chet
Also looks like Chet’s the best white American since Kevin Love and Hayward. Pretty cool. Herro’s been looking like he’s on the path to being a legit star. And we likely got another one on the way in Cooper Flagg. There’s been a massive drought of white American talent recently and maybe it’s turning around.
Sengun is that high? That’s awesome.
