Chet is better. That's why
They should give Co-ROTY to Sochan and Wemby, because Sochan being bad is the only reason Wemby even has a case right now.
Holmgren has continued to consistently play better.
Lol you are such a hater in all these rookie posts
Every single one lmao.
both are completely living up to the hype so far which is all that matters
The hype for Wemby was ROY, All-Star and playoffs. He’s been fine, but def not living up to the hype. Especially WOJ telling us he’s the best prospect since Lebron every time he was on the TV.

Wemby is not “completely” living up to the hype
Because the hype was stupid.
I agree just saying, he has not lived up to being a day one all star
Wemby is still a player in the making. People didn’t realised last year was this first season he could really be offensivly relevant in the french league. Before that he was injured or to physically tender. He was not a first, a second or even a third option. I’m absolutly not surprised to see Chet as a more consistent shooter. But Wemby is a fast learner, he is very professionnal and he is in the right organization. He is not there to be rookie of year, he wants rings.
Great! All I was saying now for the third comment is Wemby is not a day one all star like Lebron or Duncan was
you must be kidding , he's avging 20 and 10 with 2/3 blocks a game and a near all defensive team level defense , his fg % isn't great but it's better than what lebron had at this point in his carreer , if you expect him to drop 25 a game with high efficiency you're smoking crack
Those are good numbers back in 2005
His hype was much higher than this. His hype was that he'd make the Spurs not suck ass, and that he'd do it as an all star level player
Holmgren also has SGA as a point guard to run the floor whereas Wemby has Sochan. Wemby is taking much harder shots as a result.
Wemby has been raw his rookie season. He is not the instant All Star level player ppl thought he would be. Chet is though.
Chet is also not a traditional rookie, having one year of NBA experience under his belt from being drafted last year and not playing. The fact that this conversation is consistently being had is a testament to how good Wemby has been this year in just 16 games. Yeah he's raw, but the talent is real.
Chet has the same amount of NBA experience going into this season as Wemby. None.

Probably because he's been miles better. More assertive, better shooting, better impact.
Chet's defense is what sets him apart for me, dude looks like a vet out there with his positioning
...and his shooting splits of 56-43-88 are pretty dynamite for any NBA star with decent usage, let alone a rookie.
Oh for sure, I just tend to have much lower expectations from lottery picks in terms of defense during their rookie seasons
More mature and NBA ready.
It is kind of interesting that Vecenie is going "The Spurs are holding Wemby back" route rather than commenting on how the Spurs are playing around Wemby and Wemby is still growing into the NBA game.
They want him to be a superstar as soon as possible. The idea is that he is good now and instead of being a normal rookie that needs time to grow. People want him to be allstar level out of the draft.

Well if you've watched any of their games, you know that they are absolutely not playing around Wemby....
It's so frustrating to watch spurs games bc I swear at least once per possession wemby has an open look and they just refuse to give it to him

Wemby is being held back by his shit team. He needs some help and also needs to put on some weight
This is going to be a fun matchup for years to come, I hope they can both stay healthy because I love seeing two giraffes go at one another
On a semi related note, if you haven't seen actual giraffes fight, do yourself a favor and search that up. It's absolutely brutal
Wemby and chet going to need to invest in some serious neck insurance

I tell you why: When the Spurs play - all eyes on Wemby When OKC plays - all eyes on SGA

Because he’s better at every single part of basketball besides dunking?
Jdub was completely robbed last year
I know I'm a magic fan, but you're wild. Paolo was one vote short of unanimous RoY

Some people are saying Chet is playing better than Wemby because he’s in a better situation. That’s true. But I seriously doubt there would be a 18 percent 3 point shooting dip and 12 percent field goal dip just because he would playing on the Spurs instead of Thunder. Chet is, at the moment, just a better shooter than Wemby period. Not trying to knock Wemby at all. He’s two years younger than Chet. I think he will be better eventually

Here’s why? Bro we don’t need an explanation lmao
He's definitely better. As he should be given a year of in depth theory and shot practice in the nba, not saying wemby couldnt have been coached to a similar degree in france but different leagues need different approaches. Let alone quality of teammates and their willingness to include you in the play.
It'll never be a fair comparison, if wemby ends up #1 he deserved it/worked for it, given the extreme disadvantage he has.
It would be a cool metric to compare how many opportunities at buckets they make for themselves and others from nothing/without help.
They’re both so damn spectacular and harder to compare than you’d think. Chet has improved a lot since college, and Wemby is a truly gifted teenager.
I’m all for Wemby having a target to chase, rather than having one on his back.
I remember the U19 fiba world cup I think where it was chet vs wemby and chet got dominated by a 17 year old wemby. Chet has worked hard since then to not just be the tall skinny guy
