Things Aren’t Looking Good for Chet Holmgren

Things Aren’t Looking Good for Chet Holmgren

Victor wimy is taking a quick breather on the bench but Chad hren checked in so wimi jumped out of his chair ran to go in but was stopped by the ref you could see the frustration on his face he didn’t want to miss a play against his

Rival so the minute he got in wimy dunked all over ched and stared him down why is he so angry because wimy saw his huge lead for Rookie of the Year get stolen by Chad holgren wimy started as the the biggest favorite since Kevin Durant in 2007 but in November his lead

Collapsed and Chad took over but recently the race flipped again and wimy is on top if this continues things are looking bad for Chad hren something happened right here that could end this race once and for all now a lot of people think that Chad doesn’t even

Deserve Rookie of the Year cuz he sat out the whole season well sorry that’s not how it works both guys can win but you can tell how much that season off helped how many rookies let alone seven-footers can make a clutch play like this the turn around shot to tie it

And ched Hulen that was just his 13th NBA game Chad immediately completed a young OKC team as a rim protecting three-point shooting big he is good off the ball with guys like Shay Gil just Alexander and J giddy but comfortable on the ball driving or shooting threes a

True unicorn but the thing that separates Chad is his efficiency Chad dominates despite sharing the court with talented teammates all that plus his defensive impact he is the second best player on the best team in the west so Chet stock went straight up and at the same time wm’s collapsed while Chet’s

Got guys like sgaa to create for him wimby had Jeremy soan who has never played point guard in his life including High School the thinking was soan has point guard instincts like Draymond he’s a good connector makes the smart pass so at 6’8 if you could turn him into a

Legit point guard it would be perfect for the modern super tall NBA one problem he sucked at point guard Sohan had tunnel vision and routinely missed open passes to wimon nyama the roster was virtually the same team that won 22 games last year last in the west the result hurt wm’s production bad

Efficiency High turnovers so the Spurs set a team record for 18 losses in a row and in late November Chad officially passed wimy up people stopped paying attention to the Spurs said Greg papovich was ruining the number one pick then quietly he made a change that flipped The Narrative of course you know

This already if you listen to the am Hoops podcast or you’re in the Discord but here’s what happened wimy debuted as the tallest player in the NBA but didn’t want to play center it goes back to a 2019 showcase he played in France I had literally zero responsibility never had

The ball the coach played me at Center I was really frustrated and I knew it wasn’t going to go well so it didn’t and luckily the Spurs didn’t want him at Center either a lot of modern big men like Anthony Davis hate the position because of the physical grind so wimy

Was a forward in summer league and Zack Collins started the year at Center that is when shett took over rookie the year but on December 8th everything changed pop moved wimy to Center and he dropped 21 points 20 boards and four blocks against the Bulls at the same time soan

Was moved off point guard and Trey Jones got the job now instead of settling for inefficient mid-range jumpers wimy was getting quality shots scoring at the rim and catching even more lobs at the basket but the first time we really saw wh beat was at 16 years old scoring this

Jumper over Defensive Player of the Year Rudy goar and that was cute taking it easy on his fellow Frenchmen but as a center in the NBA Vic just scored on gobear like no one else can in a win who else can get up like this over an

Outstretched 7 foot one guy but somehow his defense has improved too johnar played Just nine games this year and had the perfect opportunity to embarrass wimy like he has so many other so he beats him here with a crossover but still gets blocked no one can actually

Beat wimy with that length Giannis has 40 lb on Vic so he muscles him at the basket but he puts a paw up and stuffs The Greek Freak but this is the craziest play he blocks two players at The Rim like a kid on a playground but look at

This replay he has turned around can’t even see the ball he’s about to block so not only is he leading the NBA in blocks but steals plus blocks two way ahead of number two Anthony Davis of course Chad holgren is in there too but CER wimy is already in the running for defensive

Player of the year as a rookie and for people who say oh well Joel embiid scored 70 against him no only 16 of those points came with wimy guarding so compared to power forward wimy Center wimy is better across the board not just counting stats like points boards and assists his efficiency

Skyrockets and it’s about to get scarier wmy injured his ankle about a month ago and has been limited to about 24 minutes a game now imagine what he can do playing a normal 30 plus minutes a night if his numbers Skyrocket this race is over it may not seem fair cuz Chad’s

Playing so well on a winning team but ask yourself if you put wimy on OKC would they be even better this isn’t what I think this is what the odds are telling us so he’s back on top and a big reason why was the statement he made

Against Chad holgren on national TV Vic was on a mission to show people shed is not in his Universe wimy looked to score every time he matched up with Chad Vic took just three triples so he could punish him in the post watch Vic slam on

Chad’s head and stare him down but chat refuses to react in fact it looked like was hunting mismatches while wimy was hunting Chet the craziest moment Vic trying to aggressively embarrassed him even though that was a miss you could tell this was personal when matched up

With each other Chad was just two for four with wimy defending Vic 7even for 15 against Chad and it’s not just the highlights or the stats it’s Vic’s internal fire that guys like Kobe or Michael Jordan had it’s what keeps players like Ben Simmons from taking

Their talent to the highest level so the very next day even though the Spurs lost wimby retook the lead for Rookie of the Year didn’t matter that OKC won wimy won the matchup the race has completely changed since Vic has moved to Center and if this continues there is no way he

Loses the award however there’s a chance that both guys win Rookie of the Year I know it sounds crazy but in the last 30 years it has happened twice in 1995 they gave Rookie of the Year to both Jason kid and Grant Hill then in 2000 Steve

Francis and Elton brand those races were so close they finished tied for votes since then the NBA has changed to a point system so even though it’s more unlikely it could still happen so wimy has the edge right now for a reason even though his team is losing and it looks

Like he’ll win the award unless there’s some injury tell me what you think in the comments but how crazy would this team look like with Trey Young on it there are rumors that Trey actually wants to be in San Antonio I know it sounds impossible but there is a good

Reason to believe that rumor is actually 100% legit
