Lauri’s also a vet though. I’m talking about young players still trying to find their footing in the league.

Now that we have a few new teams (aside Detroit) taking up the mantle of worst in the league, it is interesting to look at another crop of young players being maligned for their inefficiency.

Last year, there were some talk of Shaedon Sharpe as a more promising SG prospect due to his efficiency, now that the situation as worsened in Portland, Sharpe’s numbers are dragging behind even Jalen Green’s rookie numbers.

We see a similar story playing out in early comparisons between Chet — who has the fortune of playing for a very good team — and Wemby.

Just think we should try to make more of a point to factor in these environments when talking about players.

Serious question, why are Dame and AD mentioned over Sengun right now?

Of course, I do not expect Sengun to be anywhere near the MVP conversation, but he has been better than either while leading his team to a comparable record with worse teammates.

Really just shows how these races are largely narrative based, especially early on.
