Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
do we really need a post after every chet game reminding us that he’s shooting 50/40/90
I have to endure Jaquez posts for much less
Wait til GSW start with the Podz threads
Hate that I have to admit that he's actually better than Wemby this year
As long as Wemby reaches his potential or at least comes close to it, I could care less who wins ROTY.
No. He isn’t doing enough imo, needs to match Paolo stats or get close
Knew this was going to be a Wemby comparison post lol
Wish OP was at least up front about it
Wasn't he 50/50/90 lol, it's dropping
ROY goes to whoever can successfully post up on CP3
Whoever scores over CP3 the most this year gets ROY, got it
37-38 from FT over the last 10 games
I expect no less from real-life Anton Ego.
I’m not sure, I’m mostly just excited to see this debate on this sub every day for the next five months.
Duncan vs KG 2.0
I love Wemby v Chet. I'm so glad we have another Jokic v Embiid MVP debate. Such an exciting discussion that's not at all tedious
Best rookie in the league easy
wemby owns that fraud
Chet is the better offensive player. Wemby is the better defensive one
I'm just enjoying the fact that a pair of rookies I have followed for years are in the league and playing well (for rookies).
Obviously Chet will be in the running for ROTY, but I don't put too much weight on who's ahead after 12 games.
50/40/90 as a rookie would be an insane feat, "easy" shots or no.
But can he post up Chris Paul?
Chet has many incredible pointguards and ball handlers on his team.
wemby has sochan (and tre whenever pop lets him play)
their situations and roles are not the same. both are amazing but can't really say which is better than the other yet
To be consistent and not being hypocrite I say what I said about ben Simmons "not a rookie"
Rookie of the year awards goes away with the clip of getting crossed by Andre Drummond and getting held up by CP3
Dude’s gonna be an absolute monster after a few years in the weight room and all you can eat buffet. Chris Paul stone walled him three times in a row on post back downs.
Wemby clears if you swap teams.
Wemby wouldn't be shooting 50/40/90 if he was playing at Gold's Gym
He's not playing like a rookie cause he's not a rookie
wembanyama wouldnt let chris paul stop him in the post. people who watch basketball know wemby is better, people who look at numbers think chet is better.
Chet is playing alongside Shai, who is a superstar averaging 28/6/6 so obviously it will be easier for Chet to score when the defense isn’t going to be focused on stopping him the whole game. Chet is a piece of the OKC system whereas Wembenyama is the system for the Spurs. The games they play are different.
but he can’t back down cp3 /s
He’s having a historic rookie year!!!!! (12 games into the season) lol
Always good efficiency as 3rd option
The difference, I think, between Chet and Wemby is that Chet is being played more like a role player, while Spurs just let Wemby do his thing to shape him like a superstar. They have nothing to gain by winning 5-10 more matches, rather just let Wemby get comfy being the 1st option.
I wouldn't call the insane lol
Alright guys, pick your favourite and stick with it, this gonna be the sequel to Jokic Vs Embiid.
There's hope
New age Dirk?
Assuming he stays healthy, Wemby will win RotY. I wonder if Chet played like this last year if he or Paolo would have won.
Seems like he is fitting nicely with existing Thunder system. Can we generate his own looks? That would be huge
Username checks out
Watching those two play against each other another day… reminded me why the league started to push the focus on spacing. Clogged up lanes make for boring basketball.
If you want to talk efficiency, his teammate Cason Wallace with 64/59/100 splits!
He’s been good but is completely overshadowed by Wemby
