This is Rookie of the Decade-level shit.
NBA - Main
Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
I expected he would start the season rusty but man has he exceeded my expectations
On less mins too. Of course SGA was getting doubled every now and then but Chet has already cemented himself as our 2nd best player imo. If he reaches his absolute potential and become better than Shai (not a knock on Shai), then we’ll be in a really good spot
I wasn't sold at first because of how thin he is but goddamn is he gonna be really good
*Holmgren lol
This is exactly why you can’t consider someone who had the advantage of a full year as a pro as a rookie.
Paolo and Jabari both actually got to play the years they got drafted. If they still counted as rookies this year do you think either of them would win ROTY this year?
Chet Code. ROTY.
Be French
Chet had to crawl so Webanyama / Mobley could run 😂. Chet is a menace and I’m here for it
Holy Chet! this guy is a beast...
Chet is awesome.
If Wemby keeps getting badly utilized I can see the race going to chet.
I've seen way too much of Wemby standing around the 3 point line doing nothing on offense.
Chet absolutely has the lead. Wemby needs to start showing regular glimpses at his potential to get back in this thing.
Chent
Once again, u/round-revolution-399 and u/wrongerontheinternet said that Chet is not “even close to Wemby and it’s not even close” and they doubled down on it multiple times.
I will continue to tag them until they stop acting like there’s some huge gap between Chet and Wemby
People using the "not even close" comment, most of the time are in total denial.
He needs to keep it up?
I wanted to tank for him two seasons ago, but no...we had to fake-try to compete and wind up with Jeremy Sochan.
ROTY
I’m prepared to start wondering out loud if Chet Holmgren is good at basketball
At this rate, Chet will probably win over Wemby, but again it is quite early and anything can happen throughout the course of the season.
this man's special

ChetGPT!
I missed the game, but those stats are fucking ridiculous!!
RotY! He's phenomenal
Amazing shooting but 6 rebounds?
Nephews said he was a bust that time he got hurt tho

The ROTY race is over. It's Chetta Bob for the win.
He really is pulling away as the clear cut favorite for ROY.
Wembanyana vs Holmgreen who y'all got?
He’s basically secured it
the rest of the games don’t count
Chet just needs to keep doing what he's doing and the ROTY is his. He's now the betting odds favorite to win and deservingly so. He's been spectacular.
What does Chet need to do to win ROTY?
Get more votes than everyone else.
I'm going to regret selling the rookie card I had of him, aren't I...
If Chet's stat is close to Wemby, I'll give it to him. If he can do that while not being the #1 option, that would be hell a lot more impressive.
Plus am a bit bias towards defensive players. Chet is known for his defence fist and foremost. Wemby not so much.
I pray pray pray Chet has a long and healthy career because this is still his first year of real NBA play, I can't wait to see his peak. If he continues to develop his motor and maintain his interior defense and shooting, he could be a KG/KD hybrid.. salivating to think about.
He ROTY easily. Doing this while on a playoff team should put him over Wemby
Chet’s epm at the moment has him as a top 10 player in the league (#6-8). Wemby at around ~100.
Chet’s started off his first season playing great basketball. At the moment, Chet’s clearly above Wemby for ROTY, which isn’t bad on Wemby (he’s 2 years younger), just about how good Chet’s been. If Chet keeps this level of play up, he could legitimately end up on an all nba team.
Weird Saturday day game after the Giddey stuff when CFB is peaking. The refs had the whistles on speed dial too.
Felt like a weird game but a good test for OKC and coach D was definitely in experimentation mode with the rotations.
Overall the biggest takeaway is SGA and Chet is a legit duo. This isn’t “Shia and young bucks”. Chet is imo already all star level and JDub (who’s been out a few games) looks like a borderline AS too.
Bro Chet needs to shave the fuckin beard and hire a stylist. Then and only then will I acknowledge he’s good at basketball.
This being Upvoted more then 5x the sixers win post thread is so fucking funny and shows how dumb r/nba is
We haven't even gotten to Christmas yet, but obviously Chet is in the lead right now.
Wemby about to rock the Don Mitchell rookie definition hoodie
When the law takes a Giddey, god delivers a Holmgren.
so... when will wemby pull out the "chet is not a rookie" shirt?
