The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

Chet and Wemby are the truth....I almost feel bad for Chet if he gets overshadowed and/or clowned on bc he is not Wemby.

It’s kinda funny it’s both they rookie years… Chet would be so unique and talked about so much more if it wasn’t for the guy who was better, longer, a little more unique, and way more handsome than him.

I think it's the ideal situation for Chet. He can be the "underdog" now instead of having the weight of all the expectations on his shoulders.

It’s not the worst spot.

Yeah, Chet is one of the freakiest players I can remember.....but then there's Wemby being a total alien the same year haha. Definitely less pressure on Chet though as others have mentioned.

How many more rings will the Spurs win before the jazz win one? It's gotta be nice to continually luck into generation-defining talent.






**** the Spurs.

Chet and Wemby both had amazing pre-seasons. Go look at their per 36 and advanced stats, they are ridiculous. I'll post them later when I'm at a computer, but man they are both super talented.

Per 36:
Name Wemby Chet
PTS 33.2 30.2
REB 8.2 9.3
AST 2.6 3.3
STL 1.7 0.5
BLK 4.7 3.7
FG% 50.9 57.9
3PT FG% 30.9 50.0

Advanced:
Name Wemby Chet
Net RTG 21.3 11.3
Ast% 11.3 9.1
Reb% 9.6 11.5
TS% 61.0 69.4
USG% 33.9 26.3

Its hard to predict which one will have a better rookie season statswise.

Wemby will get special attention all year and coaches are gonna throw a lot of things at him to see what sticks. If someone finds a way to take him off his game others will copy it if they can. On the other hand he will get the ball more.

Chet plays with better players and better team so he may get the ball less but on the other hand he wont be treated as a #1 threat in gameplans. If he develops good chemistry with SGA he might end up being one of the premier #2s in the league already as a rookie.

Steven Adams out for the year… that sucks… I like that guy. Without Clarke and Adams things could get kinda dicey in Memphis.

No Ja for 25 games and Smart gets beat up… that might be the team that has a one year pause on being a playoff team.

Holy ****

At least Aldama looks legitimately good for them. JJJ better learn to rebound better though.

Would be shocked if they missed the play in at the very worst. They are still a pretty quality team. They got some dudes who look like they are ready to step up as well in Aldama, Roddy and Williams.
