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 comparison just isnt fair. Chet had a full year of NBA training. He has a great team giving him more space to operate. Wemby is an actual rookie on a garbage team, hyped to the moon so everyone who plays him wants to put him down to earth.
