I was curious just how Chet’s been this year and went to Basketball Reference to see where he ranked among all players in a few advanced stats.
These were the results:
11th Win Shares, 16th Win Shares Per 48, 26th PER, 20th Box Plus Minus and 17th in VORP.
What other advanced stats are out there that people value and what do those show? Is it possible he’s already a top 30 player?
He’s been fantastic so far.
Now, for me personally - and I know this is controversial, so please forgive the burns from this #HotTake - I would like to see players at least make it to December during their first season playing in the league before I anoint them one of the best players in the league or start to sculpt their HOF bust.
