this race is still close and we're barely a fifth of the season..... lot of time for this thing to change.... not that i really care about this trophy but still
Chet clearly deserves it. I don't think it's actually bad if Chet wins it, it is going to be a chip on Wemby's shoulder for the rest of his career.

Chet will run away with it
Do you guys just watch the highlights and stats of Chet??
He's not even close to Wemby
yes, Chet is far ahead

OKC's roster is lightyears ahead of San Antonio's and Vic/Chet still have similar stats. Give Wemby a 31-6-6 MVP candidate PG and we'll see what his percentages look like. Be serious.
Definitely believe that Wemby is the better player in the long run.
But Chet definitely is in a good position to get all the awards and also develop further.
Something like Wemby is Garnett and Chet is Timmy. In term of team competency where it really helps
This. He's good but the difference is very evident. He's a 21-year-old "rookie" with a superstar teammate and a massively better team around him. Wemby meanwhile is forced to lead a ragtag group of players who are mostly barely making it in the league.
The race is close for winning and shooting splits still matter but there's no way in Chet is "running away with it".
Victor was never a good shooter, unlike Chet
so he definitely wouldn't have the same percentages
You don’t know that
Chet has almost 50-40-90
absolutely elite numbers
of course, I understand that you, as Victor’s compatriot, hate to admit this, but Chet has a much better developed shot
Chet is also ready and not afraid to play center

It’s not about being his compatriot or not, the fact is we all know Wembanyama is shooting way too many 3pts with little chance to score them. Maybe when he’ll stop
doing that his percentages will rise. And maybe Holmgren will stop shooting that good, as you said, he’s on a base of 50/40/90, which has been done by a very few players, and we don’t know if he’ll carry on at this pace. So, just like I said, we don’t know if Victor won’t be a better shooter, it’s a too small sample for the moment.
I'm pretty sure Holmgren will get a serious injury during the season.
Wemby is better, he has to make everything himself and is still succeeding.
that’s terrible. If karma exists, Wemby may get one thanks to you. It is just as likely.
Why does he take so many fall away turn around three pointers at 29% clip? That doesn’t seem like rookie of the year to me? He still is amazing like even in the Denver game he got like 6 steals and 4 blocks but that shot selection is total .
so the problem isn't skill, but a lack of bbiq?
I agree, he’s always the player the other team focuses on, he doesn’t have a SGA on his side.
I don’t know how you can come to that conclusion from what I wrote
10 stocks in one game... that's the Wemby I want to see more of. Wait until he has another high level defender with length beside him.
Chet does have more of an edge/aggression to his game. That helps when you're skinny and tall (though sort of made Shawn Bradley a thin skinned weirdo on the court.) But I digress. Wemby is awesome and will continue to be awesome. But Wemby still has to figure out his game. And I think he is slowly and steadily.
its such a long season.
hearing things like "running away with it" is so premature its laughable.
both these players are obviously really good and it will be a close race.
wemby has to get smarter with shot selection for sure though. but i'm happy to see his rebounding numbers going up. we'll see his % go up and hopefully get some wins going.
The race against Chet might actually motivate Wemby in a positive way. So I think it's good Chet is getting some ROTY attention. On a larger sense, a SA vs OKC future rivalry is interesting. Two small market teams in the middle of the country, far away from the preferred coastal darlings. The idea of it likely depresses Silver, which makes me smile.
Chet definitely could win the ROTY but it's too premature say who will win it right now. Victor could have a stretch where he gets 7 straight 30-10 games and suddenly the narrative can flip.
