Though Chet has been the best rookie objectively, maybe him being snubbed isn’t a bad thing. Just more #ChetFuel (s/o DownToDunk). Yes I know Chet is a dawg and will likely be great regardless and doesn’t need any extrinsic motivation. But Wemby is like 2 years younger and simply going on potential, his length and athleticism (relative to his size) and frame (he really could be like giannis/AD and get a lot stronger while still being more agile and more explosive than other big) there are advantages that Chet doesn’t have. We don’t need him to be better than Wemby and he very well could be.
But MJ and Kobe always loved any reason to feel slighted and hey if Chet doesn’t get what he deserves, its a silver lining. But right now, I’m not even sure wembys the favorite anymore because man Chet really made great use of every second last season, dude isn’t just efficient and versatile as hell, hes already playing winning ball.
naw he needs to get ROTY, Allstar, and then MVP
Almost for sure he’ll be an all star. ROTY I think barely matters. Just don’t see how he gets MVP because we hope SGA continues to play this well. And with 2 legit MVP level players on one squad it hurts both their chances.
But maybe they win like 3/4 rings with chet and shai splitting MVPs during their run
