[BKIslandersFan]

This is for all people of HF Board who are also basketball fans. Who had more impressive season? Both of their respective teams are bad, but they both look mightily impressive.

Bedard, because floorsqueek is not a sport.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Basketball lol

 

[OilWagon]

Wembenyama and it's not remotely close

 

[tny760]

is that rapsfan in disguise?

 

[nbwingsfan]

According to some (to varying degrees of insanity) Bedard isn’t even the best rookie or even a good NHL player.

So I’m excited to see their answers to this

 

[maroon 6]

This is easily Wemby

 

[Dr Salt]

Can't even lie to myself its Wemby, but that's also the nature of basketball vs hockey for you. Both are going to win their sports rookie of the year and have earned it.

[Kevin Musto]

I say this as a Blackhawks fan: Wemby and it's not even remotely up for debate

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I listen to a few basketball podcasts, and it sounds like you could have legit 3rd team All-NBA and DPoY discussions about Wembanyama. And he's going to end up playing more games.

 

[ccman68]

you could make the argument for victor being the best defender in the nba already. can’t do they same with bedard’s offense. and bedard is like the worst defender in the league so yeah it’s not close

 

[PeteWorrell]

Wenbayama

He has improved tremendously as a player despite being on a bad a team. Many players would have sulked but he didn't.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Wemby, AINEC to be honest.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Wemby.

The guy is putting up some epic stats as a rookie unlike Bedard.

/thread

 

[weastern bias]

Imagine a #1 pick came into the league and was in talks for the Norris/Selke as a rookie on a terrible team and people who understand the game didn't think it was a stupid conversation

That's what Wenbanyama is doing

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Wenba easily

 

[Bounces R Way]

Wemby AINEC

he's so good

 

[MasterMatt25]

Wembanyama is already a top 10 player in the league

 

[ReddestRum]

Wemby and it's not even close.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Bedard or wutnow?

 

[nbwingsfan]

I don’t know basketball so I’m not sure what a Wembayana is but it sounds delicious

 

[jiboy]

Wemby has ridiculous stats lines almost never seen before , no sleight to Bedard but its not close

 

[tarheelhockey]

Hockey fans commenting on a basketball player? Oh, there’s gonna be a lot of cringe in this thread.

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

Bedard sucks
