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

The volume isn't even that close tbh. Roughly 11 fg attempts per game vs 17.
