Chet Holmgren’s rookie year stats are insane. 15.7 pts, 2.6 assists, and 7.5 rebounds (with 2 blocks and 1 steal) per game.

Throw in his shooting splits of 52.7 / 46.3 / 90, a feat achieved only by nine other players in the NBA, and you not only have an argument for rookie of the year but a historic one at that.

For comparison, Wembanyama is averaging 18.6 points, 2.5 assists, and 9.3 rebounds (with 2.4 blocks and 1 steal) per game, but at much less efficient 43.2 / 28.3 / 76.6 shooting splits.

Regardless, excited to witness the dawn of what could be basketball’s next great rivalry.

Who do you guys think deserves ROY?

    I’m not sure, I’m mostly just excited to see this debate on this sub every day for the next five months.

    No. He isn’t doing enough imo, needs to match Paolo stats or get close

    50/40/90 as a rookie would be an insane feat, “easy” shots or no.

    I’m just enjoying the fact that a pair of rookies I have followed for years are in the league and playing well (for rookies).

    Obviously Chet will be in the running for ROTY, but I don’t put too much weight on who’s ahead after 12 games.
