Wembanyama for ROTY last year. Goo' player, Chester.
But last night the team nobody fears was out-rebounded 63-43 and Chester had six boards. Which blows. Three Small Stones had more rebounds than Chester: Nikola Jokic had 22; 6'8" Aaron Gordan, who hit the game-winning three after Chester missed two freebies, had 14 rebounds. Which is embarrassing. Christian Braun, 6'6"--seven inches shorter than Chester--had 13, DOUBLE Chester's boards score. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chester's superstar teammate, had 10. Jalen Williams, Chester's non-superstar teammate, who stands 6'5", had more rebounds (7) than Chester. All of which strongly suggests that Chet Holmgren BLOWS.
