WEBVTT - Chet’s The New Young Star

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:05.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's move forward. It's Friday, you know what

0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>time it is time to talk about the NBA Award

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Future market. This week, let's check in on the Rookie

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of the Year, which might be more surprising than you think,

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 1>because guess what, because what guess what? Victor wembin Yama

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>is no longer leading the race. He opened up the

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:24.159
<v Speaker 1>season right a minus two twenty five, which in the

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>biz is an overwhelming favorite. But as Lee Corso would say,

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>not so fast, my friend, not so fast. No one

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>showed Chet Holmgren. They wrote him off, but he did

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>not write back. He was plus five hundred on opening night.

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>But guess what he is now the favorite on some bucks.

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's what fifteen blocks and two games does.

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>He's been insane, exciting. And what's crazy about this, right,

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>is that Victor waman Allas hasn't even been that bad.

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>He's been very good. He has been kind of, as advertised,

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a little green. But he is like nineteen years old.

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Chet's spent a year in the league. He's not even

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 1>really a rookie. He's been with OKSEE since last two

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:14.199
<v Speaker 1>julys ago. He was drafted when Victor Wamanyama didn't even

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>have hype like that. Nobody even knew outside of the

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>people who were inside the league and really following the

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>recruiting circle. People didn't even know Victor Womanyama like that.

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>That is how long Chet's been with the OKC thunder

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 1>chet Man right now, seventeen eight and two in his

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>last fifteen games. Great numbers for a rookie. The defense, though, folks,

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.279
<v Speaker 1>the defense is what is standing out to me. Three

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>and a half blocks and a steal per game, not

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>three and a half stocks. Three and a half blocks

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>and a steal. Four and a half stocks stocks stock stocks.

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's compare this to Victor Womenyama's last ten eighteen, fourteen

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and three with three and a half blocks and two

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>steals per game. Whoa two steals for a man that's

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>like the slender Man seven foot five stealing the rock.

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>The difference, though, if you had to guess what the

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>difference between Victor Wemenyama in his stats and Chet Holmgren

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>in his stats were, what would it be? Shit, don't

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>doubt my body spurs fucking suck right now. They're one

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:24.920
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen in their last twenty games. OKAC fourteen and six.

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>So all that tells you is that winning actually impacts

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>this race. Normally an award that has no regard for

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>team success, apparently in this race it does. Chet is

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>impacting winning in a massive way with Oka see man

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>hitting last second shots to tie the game, go to overtime,

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>blocking peeps in the laying with the game on the line.

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 1>When Minyama his plus minus negative seven point four in

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 1>his last twenty games, Chet plus six point two, that

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>is a massive difference. That is a quick mask will

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>thirteen points six turnaround. That is why Chet is now

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>minus one twenty. That is why Victor stands at minus

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>one ten. So it's basically neck and neck right now.

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Gonna be an incredibly fun race to track, and we

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:16.239
<v Speaker 1>will track it as now we have legit two generational

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>stars going crazy back and forth like it's Mike Tyson

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and Evander Holyfield. Nobody bite each other's ear, folks, nobody.

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Let's keep it above board. If oh a question, if

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>one of those guys was to bite the other one's

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>ear off, who do you think it would be? I

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like it would be Chet Chat would bite the

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>shit out of Victor's ear. Anyways, for the rest of

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the field. Jimi hawkez is now twenty five to one,

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Ausar Thompson one hundred and twenty five to one. Derek

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Lively actually out with an ankle sprain right now, no

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>timetable for his return. Plus fifteen thousand, which is one

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred and set. That's a one hundred and fifty to one.

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>We got Brandon Miller two hundred to one. Julian Strawther,

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>by the way, was not even on the board. Julian

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Strather You might not know him. He's for the Denver Nuggets.

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>He's been playing incredibly well. He is now two thousand

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to one from off the board. That's some line movement.

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>And Scoot Anderson is plus twenty five thousand, which is

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and fifty to one. Banging rookie class. There's

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be players that I would normally be in that

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 1>would normally be in the mix, but this year not

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>so much. It is a two horse race. It is

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>going to be a blast walking watching them come down

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the face
