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

I really wish we could just appreciate both of them. If I had a vote, I'd give it to Chet as of today, but the comparisons are getting stupid at this point. Their situations and responsibilities are so wildly different. I swear the people who make these posts don't actually watch games. That's not even mentioning the small sample. We aren't even 20 games into the season yet. This is gonna be a long year...
