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

Online NBA discourse is so dogshit. You can’t talk about anything related to Chet or Wemby without Chet dickriders parroting true shooting stats or Wemby apologists talking about how bad his roster is. Please appreciate two future stars for what they bring to the table. It’s been a month and the ROY race is already getting near Jokic vs. Embiid levels of toxicity
