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?
It’s early but it is quite possible he’s already a top 40 player in the league and possibly higher based on some advanced metrics.
Metrics are shit when using on a rookie. Chet’s good. But he’s by far the 2nd best player on his team.
