Victor Wembanyama & Chet Holmgren on what it would mean to win Rookie of the Year | NBA Today 

@@JoshJJ16 if he can do it now, of course itll be a harder battle for roty. but as it sits right now, theres no question we know whos going to win.

@@JoshJJ16 we get it, you like european skin

Chet is really similar to KD in my opinion, and wemby is clearly the way better player and prospect. We are living in awesome times (basketball wise obviously)

Chet And Wemby are both great but Ben Simmons is the Rookie of the Year

@@Shlongclock well that’s dumb

That had me weak😂😂😂

Chet is trash

​@@Mak1426he's not trash he just isn't as good as Victor

Just look at the thumbnail and how they zoomed Chet’s face down. Whoever made this video is pure comedy 🎭

@@ScarletDream21 as a lifelong spur fan he trash as hell

Bro he's becoming the face of the NBA stop hating lol have you seen him play? He's way better than any rookie this year so idk what you babbling about

😂

Yea I kno rite

Isn't one of his parents English?

@@LeeBusy247Chet been mewing 💀

@@pieniek2333 He says he taught himself watching RU-vid.

Chet had it go back on watch the Denver game on December 6th he had 8 but everyone who watched the game knew he had more than that, The NBA has took multiple stats away from him and a 3rd option is in a close race with a once in a lifetime talent wemby doesn’t deserve it

@@RMCOVERS.sounds like your mad abt something here regardless Chet isn’t roty he isn’t even a rookie 2nd year player shouldn’t be up for the reward don’t care if he got hurt injuries are part of the game argue w a wall

@@Josh-xd1hf technically he didn’t even play a minute last year so he’s a rookie buddy 🤡 not mad I knew about Vic when he was 14 years old I want to see all kids succeed but when you know the nba is taking stuff away from a player that’s contributing on a top 3 seeded team in the west when the other is in last, just because he barley leads a stat category he’s better, like how bruh?

@@Josh-xd1hfyou can argue that wemby is roty over chet, and i’d agree, but get rid of this “2nd year player” bullcrap. this is chets first season, his rookie season. and dont say that bc he was on an nba season he had an advantage, bc that isnt true. chet was in a boot all summer and wemby has been playing competitive pro basketball in france

Access to the NBA money, trainers, Dietitians, coaching staff, playbooks, doctors, and extremely expensive equipment.... "not an advantage". LMAO get out of here kid.

Palo wouldve still won it over Chet , his rookie numbers were better than chets numbers.

Hmmm i would almost agree, however, if Brandon Miller continues to play the way he's been playing recently and Chet continues to play the way he's playing recently until the end of the season: in that universe with no Wemby; Miller wins the award this year not Chet.

@@Covaslookoutno he wouldn’t have LOL chet would blow him out the water

@@Covaslookoutthere’s a thing called defense

aeh no? Chet play better current saison, expectations doesn't matter if its about your performance today not in the future.

@@NavidErde if wemby was on okc they would be number 1 seed 74-8

@@NAMISIMPfacts

Chet owns the fraud

@@NAMISIMPno they wouldn’t, Chet is the better offensive player and fits with OKC better

they know wemby winning😭

Cus he aint a rookie

you lots know this is chets second year right, he was answering questions like this last year, vic is a 100% rookie

Just look at the thumbnail and how they reduced the size and zoomed Chet’s face down. Whoever made this video is pure comedy 🎭

Still, give that young man some respect. Don’t have him get ready, come to the set and only give him 10 seconds air time. Coming from a Spurs fan and where is Brondon Miller? His having a good Rookie Season too

by far

Also said he wouldn’t be able to handle the banding with all the big centers Lmaoo

They sure are quiet now lol

Banging *^

Pepperidge farm remembers is crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣W comment

only things haters have left is their champion, Chet..... Kinda sucks cos I like Chet too...

ben simmons

Spoke volumes better without even saying it …

@@ScarletDream21slenderyama

Absolutely, the fact that Chet is with his team for an extra full year should be a negative when making comparison.

are u crazy? Chet avg 17 2 7 with 2.6 blocks on 53/39/77 splits. Rookie Paolo avg 20 3 6 with 0.5 blocks on 42/29/73 shooting. he'd win it over banchero

Chet is freaking 7% more efficient than wemby, while scoring only 3 points less. NBA average TS is 58.3% wemby TS is 56.4% Chet TS is 63.5%

cherry picking shooting percentages of ROOKIES. just look at how victor plays against every superstar in the league and how chet does and you'll see the difference in their games. trust

​@@bohanxu6125 it's easy to be that efficient when you have an mvp caliber player and so many good players taking so much attention away from you and the other player plays with players that can't even find in the paint and have low IQ.

Mambanyama

Thorfinn would be proud

Look at Gasol's first pick for Rising Stars, he even took wemby over Banchero

yeap thats one way to drive a point, for people who are still blindly insisting the race is even remotely close between the two rookies.

If I'm picking a starting 5, I'm going to be smart about it. Chet, Lively, Jaquez, Hawkins, Bilal is better than Wemby, Miller, Podz, Scoot, Whitmore Round 1 : I pick Lively, my friends picks Wemby Round 2 : I pick Chet, my friend picks Miller Round 3 : I pick Jaquez, my friend picks Podz Round 4 : I pick Hawkins, my friend picks Scoot Round 5 : I pick Bilal, my friend picks Whitmore

​​@@tamhameenie3136 When I look at your list I would take in draft mode: Wemby, Miller, Bilal, Whitemore, Hawkins in that order. If there's still Chet to choose from, I'll take him instead of Whitemore. Wemby is a Generational talent. If he doesn't get injured, his career will be on a par with timmy's, admiral's, etc., and he'll be in the top 10 all time. Chet will never reach that level. At best, he'll crack the top 100.

If you have first, just pick wemby. Friend will pick Chet anyway

They have nothing else to argue with. Meanwhile the cold hard facts/stats are right there staring them in the face. And as far as the eye test.....man forgot about it. Only one of those dudes is compared to all-time great bigs, with some going so far as to say he could be better than even Lebron AND Jordan, with multiple championships, defensive player awards, and MVPs. I think it's just Euro player hate.

Agreed, saying that a good 3rd option could be a 1st option putting number in a weaker team is a huge leap of faith. We have a clear example this year with Poole

@@alexcastvix8823 eaxactly bro, they predicted that jp will put up a good seasons this year because he will become the first option, but dang with all the scouting report focused on you u will get exposed. The okc vs spurs game shows how teams strategized against victor, because on how a non scoring threat victors teammates they can just double him all game and hide chet against him.

I agree he wouldn't average that if he was on the spurs in wemby's place but Chet is averaging 17-8-3 right now as the third option, I do believe he could average 20-10 in a "different" situation.

And not to mention some of Wemby's teammates be hating on him!!! Watch VASSEL and SCHOHAN and how much they despise Victor, or how many times they've looked him off! The problem is last season VASSEL, SCHOHAN, and Keldon Johnson were supposed to be the young stars to bring the Spurs back to relevance, then BOOM they get #1 pick and get a GENERATIONAL TALENT! Those guys have froze Victor out in so many games! Imagine his numbers if he got the ball more and played more mins! He barely gets to 30 mins per game, when he starts playing 35-40 mins per game he'll definitely be in the MVP and DPOY race EVERY YEAR!

i know bruh he the rokie goat😂

It seems Chet is a man of little words.

im shadow banned

She's not a fan of colored men 😆

These players got great looking baddies throwing themselves at em regularly. To them Malika is normal, she still looks good though. I'd 🔫 that club up 😁

They don’t have weak flesh like you

Chet doesn't deserve ROTY

Not even sure he would have win last year(it would have been a close race) and not even the clear best member of his rookie class in his own team. So, yes, Chet won’t be ROY (even if he plays well in his role for okc)

Yes he is tf . 1st year he step on the court

@@KiarRushingnot a true rookie he’s like 21

Correct. He is not a true rookie. And it's not even because of his age. Don't tell me a year with OKC didn't help him prepare for this season, even if he "wasn't on the court". He had a huge head start. But whatever....that's what the NBA considers him. It doesn't matter, Wemby is a much better player. And if you believe otherwise, well I don't know what to say. Watch more of Wemby's games I guess.

Really The nba can give the MIP finally

Chet aint in this years rookie class. He’s in last year’s. He aint a rookie.

Yeah people downplay the REDSHIRT year . He was around nba structure and regiment for an entire year ! Although didn’t play first season , still being around the team and learning the ins and outs of the league still helped his development in understanding nba game . Vic didn’t have the luxury of watching and learning nba ways .

agreed, i don't think it's even fair chet is counted as a rookie, but it wouldn't be fair if he lost his chance due to injury so i get it. But being around nba players a whole season as you rehab and train is so valuable, he just had 1 year to watch and soak in nba level for a year xD

Damn, so he was hella trying to impress JJ Redick cus on his pod Victor was talking about being free in the universe and at peace for 10 minutes straight. JJ must've folded fs

No way Chet would be ROTY over Paolo. Paolo clears Chet. Paolo stats were even better.

@@TheCaptainMtg I disagree. If you check Paolo's rookie year stats compared to Chets, only advantage Paolo has is by a couple of points and assists. Meanwhile Chet beats him in almost every other category especially in defense which is another important part of the game that Chet clears him on. Chets a two way player which is way more meaningful in my opinion.

@@July9326 Paolo is great on defense. Very underrated. Paolo can command a game and take over. Dominant. Chet is a 3 and D guy.

Not the DPOY is rudy ! What a magnificent year! Rudy DPOY, Wemby Rookie

Yeah I mean chasing blocks is just hood defense lmao

Also, Chet isn't a rookie.

Vweb is less a rookie than Chet as he played professional in France. Three seasons.@@konalab1
