Agree with most of this comment - expectations were always going to be too high given the hype. I actually think he needs a better PG though as he isn’t playing in much of a structure which is making it harder for him to develop. He is doing too much as each game looks like a game of pick up.
RE Chet outshining Vic, worth noting he is 20mths younger than Chet, and Vic doesn’t have the luxury of the defense focusing on someone else like Chet does with SGA as well as a wealth of talent in OKC to simplify the game for him
