The current frontrunners are chet & wemby. Of the two, despite webmy having way more hype I think chet has shown himself to be better so far in their young careers. Who do you think will win the roty?
Stats so far after 8 games (10% of the season)
Chet: 16.8pts , 7.9reb , 2.6ast , 2.5blk , 1stl. 71.9% ts.
Wemby: 18.8pts , 8.5reb , 1.8ast , 2.4blk , 1.1stl. 54.8% ts.
Notably chet is averaging 1.5 less turnovers then wemby.
Ausar
in my opinion, chet will deserve more but wemby will get it because of the overhype about him.
Benjamin Simmon
BOTW race going to be crazy. It should have been Michael Patrick Porkins by a mile, but his father giving oral was completely unnecessarily imo. Dark horse candidate is easily Taffy Lee Fubbins. Can’t forget Bart Harley Jarvis either, despite the aggression and the completely flat back of the head.
The basketball fan in me says Chet, the corporate cynic in me says Wemby.
Chet is currently playing better and more deserving but since NBA awards are narrative driven Wemby will end up winning if they’re any where close to each other.
Chet has been better thus far. He would be my pick
NBA is hyping Wemby extremely hard.
Even if Chet has a better season, Wembanyama will win it.
Well that was rude
Camara
I had a dream that Ausar wins it somehow lol
It will be Wemby based off hype alone, Chet is doing amazing but in all honesty not much he can do to win the vote due to how hyped Wemby was/is
Purely looking at those base stats doesn’t show the fairly big impact of wemby on defense.
Any answer thats not Dereck Lively II is troll. /s
I was super impressed by Lively, that dude is a stud
“Wemby beat the Suns” will get him to Christmas, and we will see after that. Any talk of Wemby’s usage will be misplaced when the Spurs are developing a 19 year old on how to learn his spacing and how to be a shot creator. He won’t be taking hits at center this year.
It’s going to by Wemby unless he misses significant time. Chet would have to be vastly superior in order to get the benefit of the doubt.
