I haven’t looked at the stats or anything and I know Wemby has to win the ROY to placate the powers that be, but dam doesn’t Chet look more polished in my eyes. Extra year I know but still.
If he made contact I'm less of a fan of the taunt but it's not a big deal. I think it was fun to stare a little bit but it's also completely fair for Beasley to bump him. I'm not sure who's flop was worse though Giannis or Sexton's. You really can't give a stare down like that then flop right after. I'm also not a fan of Sexton pulling him down after he didn't get the dunk on him to go. That's getting into dirty territory.
How about Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama?
Stats wise its hard to argue against Keyonte's clutch minutes but you probably have to put Chet slightly above him. But obviously Keyonte makes a big jump in the clutch. He averages the 5th most minutes. He shoots the best 3 point percentage of guys who actually play. He has 3rd most FTA and 3 point attempts. Keyonte has the most assists in the clutch. On a per game he is above both of those guys on most things. But they do play more. Chet has made more big 3s at a slightly worse clip. Victor has been shooting pretty poorly from 3 all game and in the clutch. Chet is +40 in the clutch, but he is on the best team in the West. Keyonte is +26. Victor is -50, which is the worst of any rookie.
I think Chet deserves the title just because he plays in all clutch games. Keyonte has an "advantage" in that when he is having a bad day, Hardy doesnt play him in the 4th. So he is only closing games when either the matchup is favourable or he is feeling it (at least better than JC/Sexton).Stats wise its hard to argue against Keyonte's clutch minutes but you probably have to put Chet slightly above him.

Well technically Chet is not a rookie this season though I agree I’ve witnessed examples of his clutchness. I’ve seen Wemby shoot his team in the foot more often than he’s come through.
