This dude is a future 5 time MVP
To a question about the ROY and the AllStar Game Wemby clearly said it matters, adding from now on "every game is a statement"
WOW
There ZERO doubt he wants to be ROTY
This dude is a future 5 time MVP
Wemby leading the Rookies in PPG, RPG, SPG and BPG...I get that Chet is doing great as well, but come on...you cant just give it to him, because his team is better.
I almost feel sorry for Chet if he does win, because Wemby is going to make him pay for the rest of his career.
to be frank... i get the argument for chet. i just dont agree with it.
its not just that OKC is a better team, but he's also elevating them. OKC was a .500 team last year, and Chet is basically their only new contributor (also cason wallace, but in a much lesser role), and suddenly they're an elite squad, and its clear he has a lot to do with it. so its not just that the team is good, but that he is playing well and in a manner that is translating to team success.
his counting stats arent that far from wemby. its about 2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.5 blocks difference, but chet's efficiency is basically god-tier lol
with that said, if you are evaluating them as individuals, really have to contextualize their situations. while Chet's defense has been awesome, wemby has been even better. and while their scoring numbers are similar, wemby carries so much more of a burden to create his team's offense.
And Wemby is doing it in slightly fewer minutes, especially now with the minutes restriction in effect. Also, Wemby has missed 4 games so far, while Chet hasn't missed a game yet.
They’re both averaging about 29-30 no?
Chet is at 30 on the dot, and Wemby is at 29.3. That restriction will drag him down lower, depending on how much longer he has to deal with it.
wendy wants to win, not on popa s watch...who has a process to tank this year...
if his leaving...lol frontoffice
TH is there an accurate stats per minute for NBA?
I would think Wemby is outdoing Chet.
I think they are playing almost the exact same minutes for the season as of now so those numbers might not deviate very much.
Edit: I was thinking minutes/game. I forgot about Wemby missing a few games.
Right you are.
30.0 Chet
29.3 Wemby
Would still be nice to see an accurate website as the season goes on and their minutes may gap somewhat.
Chet with the HUGE advantage playing real NBA talent and a real NBA coach.
OTOH Wama may be getting more offensive rebound opportunities with the Bricky Spurs.
IMO, this is the key element. A lot of Spurs fans view Chet winning ROTM or being atop the rookie ladder as some kind of new approach to the award where team record matters, but in reality it's the impact that those players are having. OKC has improved with Chet, and the Spurs have managed to get worse.
Even if the Spurs were only slightly better than last year, I think the narriative would be different, but instead we are historically bad. This puts a black eye on Wemby's ROTY resume, and it is no fault of his own: it's the FO and Head Coach who wrought this.
The NBA is just thickening the Wemby/Chet rivalry. But Wemby as the future face of global NBA will win the ROTY to add to the marketing and not lessen his legacy. It’s all about money! Wemby will eventually win the ROTY.
Victor "I've been dreaming of that ROTY award since I was 6 feet tall"
Victor will be both the ROY and be on the all star team this year. The Spurs are finally starting to feed him more and have started playing closer games. If you search the web for highlights Wemby is all over the place. Chet not even close. The Spurs will start winning more games and Wemby will be rightfully given the credit. He will gradually increase his minutes toward the 30 minute a game mark and his counting stats will also giving him an increasingly larger advantage over Chet. Finally, he is the anointed one. It is in the NBA's best interest for these things to happen so they will. It's nice to have that as an SA advantage for a change.
Once those minute restrictions go, and we see more 30/10/6blk, the narrative will be all on Wemby as ROTY.
i don't understand the logic: if winning doesn't matter, why would losing?
Chet with a monster game against Wizards. 31 pts
As always those 2 are very interesting to listen to!
Wemby from the 7.50 mark, but they talk about Chet as well
I wanna bet a grand or more on Wemby but man I don't want to jinx anything. lol
I remember when ESPN actually had discussion segments on whether Tim Duncan or Keith Van Horn was the right pick for ROY, because KVH was on a 1 seeded team.
Of course, the actual vote was rightfully lopsided. But Chet is no KVH and deserves to be in the discussion.
I smell a « Wemby is better but Chet is more impactful blabla » that leads to Chet getting ROY
Only mind blowing performances from Wemby will help him win it. Very doable if he keeps his recent mentality tho
