people sure like to argue a lot about an award that has no bearing on a player’s future or legacy. when it comes down to it, roty is one of the most throwaway awards a player can have in their career. that aside, chet’s game is way more refined as this point and he’s playing better and that’s to be expected. wemby is raw as hell and still putting up good numbers. this is how most high level rookies who are thrown straight into the nba look.

the fact that chet is not only a positive contributor but a high impact player is a testament to his natural talent, his teammates, and his coaching staff along with that extra nba year he’s already gotten to help him get acclimated and prepared from a physical and mental standpoint. i expected a really good rookie campaign from him but i don’t think i expected him to be the #2 guy barely 10 games into the season.
