                                                                       Min  Ppg   FG      3pt       Reb  Ast    Stl  Blk

1. "Spurs", 5-25. Victor Wembanyama 2023 29.7 18.8  44%    28.5%  10.4   3.0   1.3  3.2
2. "Thunder", 20-9. Chet Holmgren     2023 29.9 17.5  53.4%  37.2%  7.8    2.5   0.8   2.7

18. "Heat", 19-12. Jaime Jaquez, Jr.    2023 29.3  13.8  51.4% 38.0%   4.0    2.6   1.0   0.3


I didn't realize OKC was so good! Even though Holmgren has been the superior difference maker I would have to give ROTY to Wemby on better numbers. But 3J would be third in a redraft and should be third in ROTY voting, a phenomenal leap from eighteen. By far the steal of the draft. 

Comparing 3J to D-Wade in his first year:

5. "Heat", 42-40. Dwayne Wade   2003/04  34.9  16.2  46.5% 30.2%  4.0     4.5   1.4    0.6     

D-Wade played more mins than any of this season's top three rookies. His ppg are a little higher than 3J's as a result, his shooting percentages not nearly as good for the same reason. His play-making number is clearly better.
