All is right In the cosmos

Jordan Hawkins would have been the perfect fit on the Lakers. Wishing they made a move up to get him.

[–] gigaquack@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Remember when people were suggesting Scoot might go ahead of Wembanyama

[–] MayorBakefield@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Sir, a second rookie just hit the ladder.

[–] RealPrinceJay@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Amazing top 3. Chet’s already providing star level impact. Wemby could be the GOAT.

But adding to that, Ausar is that guy. He really needs a 3, but that guy is such a good basketball player

[–] SandyMandy17@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

ROY is for scrubs

Chet ASG is the vibe

Also Cason Wallace is averaging 9 on 62-50-100 on like 10% usage

Presti is a wizard

[–] pinktwhite@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The Mavericks really made a big swing on and hit a home run

[–] SandyMandy17@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Where’s Cason Wallace

[–] ShowPale@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It’s so hard to watch a Victor game. Pop just destroys the entire offense by not giving him a proper point guard that can just lob him the ball. It’s ugly basketball

[–] Hovi_Bryant@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I don't see this changing for the rest of the season. Barring the unfortunate.

[–] GoodGodSham@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Hawkins been doing pretty good I guess ?

[–] SUPERSAMMICH6996@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Frauds. Where is Criag Porter Jr I humbly ask?

[–] ShakeMilton@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Friendly reminder that Wemby is nearly 2 years younger than Chet.

Chet is a stellar talent tho.

[–] BrilliantLoli@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

2nd year player should not be eligible for RotY. So many Rookies have sat out an entire season just because they had some minor injury. And instead of missing a few month they just sat out the entire year so they can win the RotY next year.

Traveling and Training with a NBA Team for a whole year is a huge advantage.

[–] igotabridgetosell@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I haven't seen every Wemby game but I don't think he is using the height advantage much when hes chucking 3s.

[–] Nomad942@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I like Chet and hope Chet vs. Wemby is the next Bird vs. Magic.

But I also feel like getting a year of development/experience (even with no playing time) with an NBA team should knock several points off the “rookie” of the year score.

[–] TheAnswerEK42@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lol leaving Black out of the top 10 shows they are just reading twitter and checking box scores and not watching the games

[–] TilldenKatz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Pop is destroying Wemby's potential

[–] KillCreatures@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Ill never understand how you can call someone who spent a full year with their NBA coaching staff a rookie.

[–] PointBlankCoffee@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

One of these is not like the other...

[–] spritehead@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I’m biased but Jaime should be higher. What he has been able to contribute to a contending team in terms of high level defense, clutch shots, and running offense through him is very rare. He shouldn’t be penalized cause he didn’t go to a spot that would let him shoot 25 shots a game and lose 60 games.

[–] jahwa6@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Jaime Jaquez should be up there

[–] Scuttleduck@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I’ve been impressed by how fearless Chet is. I feel like anybody who is tall and skilled can be a pretty good player, but Chet is so aggressive and decisive. Thunder fans are lucky, he’ll be fun to root for

[–] theblackyeti@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Chet has been a significantly better player.

[–] satangod666@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Some great talent coming through. I am interested to see how these skinny/tall young guys hold up injury wise halfway through the season.

[–] Sure_Station9370@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lmao if a guy that’s a 3rd-4th option wins ROTY over a guy that’s the 1st option and one of the sole focuses of the defense I’ll never treat the award the same again.

[–] pumpkin3-14@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lively a starting center at 19 years old. Third in plus/minus among rookies.

Fingers crossed he’s going to be good for a long time if this is his floor.

[–] shredditor75@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I want to feed both Chet and Victor lots of sandwiches. They're so big, yet so smol

[–] bluepineapple42069@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I thought you guys told me Jaime Jaquez was worth a bag of chips

[–] herseyhawkins33@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It's hilarious how offended y'all are on both sides of wemby/chet being 1 or 2. Maybe just appreciate 2 awesome rookies. And then there's ausar over there being a freak show everywhere on the court.

[–] scat-o-mancer@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I love how we have the third best rookie, three years in a row, and the highest paid coach in the league history. But we still go 4-36 in the last 40 games.

[–] kvlr954@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Where’s Jaime?

[–] Psykiix@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
[–] Resident_Standard437@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I get that scoring isn't everything but Brandon Miller should be #3 or #4.

[–] vow_now@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

My Bilal ROY bet lookin real nice

[–] AdmiralWackbar@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Victor “Not Even the Best Player in his Rookie Class” Wembanyama

[–] WIEye@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Bulls fans up in this thread pretending to be some kind of experts on talent...

[–] moneyinthebank216@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Where Craig

[–] BigFloppyCatEars@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Brandon is top 5. Idk where he belongs: 3,4, or 5... but somewhere in there.

[–] AmbitionExtension184@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It’s kinda wild how wide the gap between Wemby and Chet is. webmy is a net negative still and Chet is already one of the best players in the league.

[–] Least_Inspector_450@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
[–] Ghoul-Sama@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

why the fuck is jordan hawkins on this list, landry shamet level player

[–] fishgod123@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Except fuck the thunder

[–] GringoMambi@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The disrespect to Jaime Jaquez Jr. Dude a rookie playing like a seasoned vet

[–] downinCarolina@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Wemby is gonna get passed up on ROTY because pop wants a new guard

[–] Recent-Curve7616@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Why’s isn’t Amen getting time

[–] TheScienceNamesArgon@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Chet is so much better than Victor right now. The rookie race shouldn't even be in doubt.

[–] Imasayitnow@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

No love for Brandon Miller? Kids playing great ball!
