Chet Holmgren’s rookie year stats are insane. 15.7 pts, 2.6 assists, and 7.5 rebounds (with 2 blocks and 1 steal) per game.

Throw in his shooting splits of 52.7 / 46.3 / 90, a feat achieved only by nine other players in the NBA, and you not only have an argument for rookie of the year but a historic one at that.

For comparison, Wembanyama is averaging 18.6 points, 2.5 assists, and 9.3 rebounds (with 2.4 blocks and 1 steal) per game, but at much less efficient 43.2 / 28.3 / 76.6 shooting splits.

Regardless, excited to witness the dawn of what could be basketball’s next great rivalry.

Who do you guys think deserves ROY?

Remember when the unicorns were thick boys like Zion? Now we have stickbugs fighting each other.

Unlike wemby he is the real deal.

I remember when Emoni Bates was considered the better player.

Chet “I only shoot when I know I can make it” Holgrem

Deandre Jordan but weak and shoots 3s.

0/1 backing down 6 feet point guards in the paint though

Chet is also doing this on a team that will almost definitely be in the playoffs, and could make the second round. I think that is likely their ceiling this year. But it’s also different than Wemby putting up numbers on a bottom tier team.

Shooting splits is a stupid stat which says nothing about scoring efficiency. You can literally be lower in all 3 and still be more efficient. TS% exists for a reason

Chet Holmgren is Bricktor Wembustyama father

Dude is probably how Bill Walton would look like in our era.

Here's hoping he gets to show his skills for a longer period than Bill ever did

That’s what happens when you’re talented and play with other talented players including a top 10 one.

I think without question at this point it's chet. Wembanyana is dope but he's losing his team game w his inefficiency.
