Then they got rid of Ricky Davis for nothing and immediately improved dramatically.
He really thought it was his team and Bron didn't deserve to take the reigns yet.
Is it Me? Or did the Wemby Hype & Novelty Come & Go Already

Chet is almost two years older than Wemby too. I don't know if his parents held him back or what, but he graduated high school at 19. He'll turn 22 this season and Wemby still hasn't even turned 20 yet.
Victor has played basketball professionally since 16, and will be 20 next month. If he sat out until he was 21 it wouldn't benefit him. It would have done the opposite.

Somewhat, yes.
The thing that sucks right now is his 3 point shooting is sub 30% and at 5 3PA per game, that's bad.
At his height he's getting great looks as well. Dude just don't got the best outside shooting touch.
To be fair, he was never some consistent dazzling 40% 3P shooter on high volume although he got guard handles to create those shots.
The thing is, people wanted to see an outright dominant kid.
Additionally, what others have mentioned, it's the NFL season. It sucks though that he isn't on a play-off team.

high picks who sit out their rookie year almost always have a clear advantage over true rookies lol what is this

This is additionally why I thought of all teams who were in place, Houston would've been his best landing spot. It was funny dude was happy to not get drafted there. I think for both himself and the NBA that would've been the biggest W.
They got everything ready for him: a young domestic and international core full of defense, scorers and distributors while they got coaching and veteran leadership in a bigger market.
They would've taken a lot of pressure off him while they stacked W's against some really good teams, enhancing what he brought to the table.
In comparison, Spurs and their roster are outright horrible and dude is expected to carry. Problem is the next draft looks mid af so the Spurs scouts got their work cut out for them.
The Rockets core w/ Wemby vs the Thunder core with Chet would've been headlines for 10-15 years. Two tight-knit cores going at each other.
Think of how many countries alone that rivalry would've been representing: Black and White Americans, Nigeria, Philippines, France, Vietnam, Turkey, Australia, etc.

Few things, the Spurs have blown a lot of leads this season already, young team you expect growing pains like that, fine. The guys he’s playing with aren’t necessarily great at entry passes. And lastly like someone else mentioned he’s taking about 5 3s a game and he’s not even a good 3P shooter, so what’s the fukking point?
21yo body and 19yo body are still different, breh. Has Victor even been his current height for a full 12 months yet?
Yeah, this isn't new. I pointed out early this year that he's never been consistently good from three and said he'd probably drop down to ~30%.
He could improve from 3pt, but what he really needs is to develop that 5-15 foot shyt until it's automatic. At his height, they can just drop that into him and if he can turn around and stick it in the bucket at 50-55%, he'll be unstoppable.
This isnt true tons of high picks have gotten injured and sucked. Being a " high pick" plus injury doesn't automatically lead to being good. Losing development years isn't good for nba players. For every chet holmgren theirs a nerlens noel
you being disingenuous as hell for the fukk of it
chet got RoTY locked up - even if there's a very real chance his season is the one that makes the league officially reconsider how players qualify as a rookie going forwardNah im just pointing out being injured is only half of the equation, the player actually has to be talented. Theirs no positives to missing a year of NBA. You'd rather your rookie to be on the floor. Nerlen missed a year aint do shytyou being disingenuous as hell for the fukk of it
.
The thing I find weird about Chet and previous players who didn't play their rookie year is that the missed year still counts towards their rookie extension, so technically how can they still be considered a rookie.you being disingenuous as hell for the fukk of it
Never heard of him.
