So far this season, the difference between Chet Holmgren and Wembanyama’s true shooting percentage is basically the same as the difference between Embiid and Dillon Brooks last year (alien.top)

Holmgren has a true shooting percentage of .677, compared to Wembanyama’s .517, scoring on a similar volume.

Chet is shooting 10% better from two, 15% better from three, and 12% better from the free throw line.

For comparison, during his MVP season, Embiid had a true shooting percentage of 65.5%, while Brooks was at 49.4% in an awful shooting year.

That is a 16% difference between Chet and Wemby vs. a 16.1% difference between Embiid and Brooks

Are people expecting wemby to get 25 a game on good efficiency at 19 years old ? He’s still learning , pop is probably not giving him instructions on where exactly to play, he’s still testing the waters , getting shots up and getting accustomed to the nba , plus the spurs offence doesn’t seem coordinated because of the sochan experiment and them being the youngest roster , from what i watched if he gets stronger he can be incredible in the post and his shot motion is definitely smooth , if he learns how to pick his shots and gets more nba experience i can see his fg% go up , no reason for the comparisons all the time
