If Chalmers is the Big 12 Player of the Week, and he’s a rookie, wouldn’t logic assert that he is the Big 12 Rookie of the Week also?

In conference play, Mario’s turnovers to steals ratio is 1/1 (34/33). That is amazing.

Mario is coming on strong. As PB contributor Mark suggested, he’s probably a better player than Daniel Gibson right now.
A look at his conference numbers would seem to back that up.
