NBA Rookie Discussion Thread 2023-24

The Servant · Post #81 » by **The Servant** » Tue Jul 4, 2023 1:36 am

I've got Chet because he's going to a team that's built around him and SGA and have tons of nice pieces. A lot of players who made the NBA and red shirted their first year seem to come in with an advantage. A little more strength from a year of NBA conditioning, working with pros on their jump shot and reads etc.

Playing next to SGA, with Giddey facilitating, Jalen Williams out there.. but still being a main feature will help.

Chet Holmgren rates him an A+/would definitely play again.

Chet is going to win ROY because his team will be winning. Everyone else is guaranteed sub-40 wins.

The Magic should be above 500.

Even in the East I think they have another year before they get there. They are definitely on their way, though.

OKC only won 6 more games than the Magic, and we tanked the last week. Plus, the first 25 games, all our guards were out injured, and we started 5-20.

I mean this wasn’t about OKC but you see how Orlando is pretty far behind them right?

The Spurs are gonna surprise a lot of people. They are not as bad as their record made them out to be and had a lot of injury problems. + Victor.
They won't make the playoffs, but they'll get enough wins for it not to impact Victor

Not really. I think Chet and Isaac could be the x factor in deciding who has the better season. Whichever one plays more games will probably translate into more wins for their team.

Yes they will. Wemby is generational.

Wins have literally never played a factor in ROY. Especially for teams like OKC and Orlando where the rookies aren't the best player on the team.

How come no one is talking about Miller. He looked hella good in his first game. Looking like Cha made the right pick.

I think they will be above 500 and I'm excited for the Magic fan base. Their last decade has been a terrible one... At first I was shocked by the Paolo pick, but was thrilled to see him absolutely ball out. Looking forward to them contending for a play in or maybe even better this year!

Make two selections: One between Wemby/Holmgren and one for the rest
