Chet Holmgren’s rookie year stats are insane. 15.7 pts, 2.6 assists, and 7.5 rebounds (with 2 blocks and 1 steal) per game.

Throw in his shooting splits of 52.7 / 46.3 / 90, a feat achieved only by nine other players in the NBA, and you not only have an argument for rookie of the year but a historic one at that.

For comparison, Wembanyama is averaging 18.6 points, 2.5 assists, and 9.3 rebounds (with 2.4 blocks and 1 steal) per game, but at much less efficient 43.2 / 28.3 / 76.6 shooting splits.

Regardless, excited to witness the dawn of what could be basketball’s next great rivalry.

Who do you guys think deserves ROY?

I think this favors Chet even more then. Chet is out here playing really fucking good winning basketball, and Wemby is just putting up shots on a shitty team.

I agree to an extent but it can work both ways. Imo depends on the coaching and training staff, so I feel pretty confident in the Spurs to shape him the right way. I still have Chet as RoY but it's still early.
