Holmgren has a true shooting percentage of .677, compared to Wembanyama’s .517, scoring on a similar volume.
Chet is shooting 10% better from two, 15% better from three, and 12% better from the free throw line.
For comparison, during his MVP season, Embiid had a true shooting percentage of 65.5%, while Brooks was at 49.4% in an awful shooting year.
That is a 16% difference between Chet and Wemby vs. a 16.1% difference between Embiid and Brooks

Chet’s a full year older, and he’s had a year around the NBA even if he hasn’t played until now, so I’m not surprised that he is more efficient.
VW seems to be struggling most outside the arc. He’s a .503 inside the arc, and that’s an efficient number.
Chet was also more of a shooter in college.
I feel like the Brooks comparison is slightly off because Brooks, though a better 3pt shooter, only shot .450 from inside the arc last year.
Brooks wasn’t reliable from really anywhere on the floor; VW is.
