NBA - Main

Where is Jaime!

Where’s my boy Jaime Jaquez

Victor doesn't deserve to be #1. Chet is way better.

If Ausar finds a half-decent 3-point jumper, he’s gonna be a legit star.

Lively clears sorry I don’t make the rules

Chet shouldn’t be punished because his team is better.

Isn't Chet in his second year?

The narrative going to be tough in this one.

He’s winning it idc what y’all say

Do not believe the NBA's lies. Chet Holmgren is no rookie.

Since I haven't seen any comments about Jordan Hawkins in here yet, let me give him his flowers. As our broadcast guy put it, he's a hooper. He's got a lot of confidence on the court that I don't see too often from a rookie. His 3 ball is insane.

He will be something special.

Lively is a shoe-in for that 2nd All Rookie team 😤

The real story is that all the fans of their teams feel their rookie should be higher on the list, with Spurs fans thinking Wemby should be DPOY in addtion to ROTY.

Which is really great, because it means a lot of teams made exceptional choices on draft night in ways that helped their teams AND that this was a fantastic draft.

I love how much it bothers people that Wemby is ranked number 1 every time the rookie ladder is published

Portland curse with Top5 picks continues, they waste second pick on Scoot who is aweful right now

are we sure dereck lively wasn’t a gift sent from the basketball gods?

Why is Chet a "rookie"? He played last year

Who is 6-10

Wemby being ranked above chet is wild lol

Brandin Podjemski may end up on this list is Kerr plays him more. Kids a baller

Wemby is playing with the worst team in the league by far. His efficiency would be way better alongside more talent

Right now, Chet is the better player, Wemby has better highlights.

There’s literally no argument for Wemby over Chet at this point. Even a cursory look at the numbers and it’s not even a little bit close.

Wemby is frankly benefitting from his team being so bad that nobody is actually watching the spurs to watch the spurs, so he can go 4-15 in a game but get 2-3 highlights posted and people think he played awesome.

If you wanna make the whole “Chet’s not a real rookie” argument, cool, but I’d also say that’s not quite as relevant because Victor has actual professional experience, so the advantage is nearly as big.

Chet > rn

Brandon Miller will be top 3 by the end of the year

All top 3 guys are deserving honestly. What a peer group!

dereck lively is just so crazy and deserves all the praise. he’s immediately fit into the rim running/protecting role Dallas so desperately needed and has done it better than anyone could’ve expected. on top of that, he’s functioning in the pick and roll, he’s shown flashes of good court vision and passing, he’s making his free throws at a decent clip, and he’s practicing a 3 pt shot.

3-4 years from now he’ll be the perfect modern center for a superstar that loves feeding easy looks to his centers. dallas so spooky

Chet being #2 is a crime. Wemby is on TV a lot, he's a freak athlete but Chet at this point in the season is a better player.

I felt the Thunder/Spurs game was Chet's best window to take the #1 spot with a signature performance. Victor's stock is trending down and Chet could've cemented himself as a strong complimentary piece on a team with real playoff aspirations, not a shiny ornament on a rotting tree.

9 points on 3/10 shooting against the worst defense in the league was not that performance.

No Strawther. Fake list.

As of now wemby is trash

Take Dereck Lively out of the mavs and we have baaaaaaaaaaaaad interior defense

Camara erasure

Jaime should be 4 at worst. No disrespect to these other young guys but he’s playing like a 10 year vet already. Playing lockdown on ball and help defense so well that Spo has played him all 12 mins in 4 straight 4th quarters. He always makes the right play

Could be an all time best rookie draft classes ever (including Chet here )

That’s not how you spell “Keyonte George”

I'm still mad we missed a potentially special Brandon Miller MSG debut

Does chet have to double wemby’s TS% to pass him?

This is Wallace erasure.

It’s wild 3 C in the top 5. Good for the league. I know Wendy plays PF/C, but still.

According to this sub in 2017 Chet should be disqualified

I don’t think this has much to do with shooting. Wemby absolutely changes the opposing teams offense when he’s out there, unlike nothing anyones seen before. Chet is amazing but he doesn’t have that same effect.

Chet is number one or lively

Ausar Thompson is going to be special.

Chet is clearly better right now. His older and just more experienced. Wemby has some development to go through.

Chet and Ausar should be ranked higher. Wemby is lucky Amen Thompson is hurt and Jordan Hawkins plays in a small market.

Wemby is gonna be on the All Rookie 1st team no matter what, but I think I would have Chet as the current front-runner for ROTY. Or, Ausar.

Wemby could fade a bit more if he really does have Stamina/Motor/Awareness issues.

Chet needs probably 5 more ppg and 8/9 boards plus 50/40/90 to win roty this year.

chet has been better lol

Damn. Cason Wallace not even in top 10 is dumb.
