even with small sample sizes chet in that company already is insane

people sure like to argue a lot about an award that has no bearing on a player’s future or legacy. when it comes down to it, roty is one of the most throwaway awards a player can have in their career. that aside, chet’s game is way more refined as this point and he’s playing better and that’s to be expected. wemby is raw as hell and still putting up good numbers. this is how most high level rookies who are thrown straight into the nba look.

the fact that chet is not only a positive contributor but a high impact player is a testament to his natural talent, his teammates, and his coaching staff along with that extra nba year he’s already gotten to help him get acclimated and prepared from a physical and mental standpoint. i expected a really good rookie campaign from him but i don’t think i expected him to be the #2 guy barely 10 games into the season.

i’m so used to expecting them to be done after an opposing transition bucket to take the lead with 4 minutes left. it’s definitely weird to see them grind it out in the clutch fairly consistently already. not perfect but a big difference.

kat’s game looks disgusting when he’s not shooting 3s above the break. it works though.

i think paul millsap also had a noticeably ugly game back in the day

yea he’s greatly improved the weaknesses in early post game, attacking switches etc and really refined his game just in terms of knowing his spots on the court and when to rise up. he’d be a much better complementary player to luka now.

next improvement i want to see is getting him corner looks. he’s always been solely an above the break 3 point shooter and with his shooting ability getting open corner looks for him could be lethal. horford was the same way up until we really started weaponizing it the past couple seasons. hoping to see the same here.
