Chet Holmgren drops 1-word Ajay Mitchell descriptor rest of NBA isn't ready to hear

The OKC Thunder may only have two stars from a technical standpoint in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams within their midst, but Chet Holmgren believes there's a third player who's deserving of this kind of moniker.

Surprisingly, it's not even him.

During a recent sit-down with ESPN's Malika Andrews, Holmgren was asked to share the first word that comes into his mind when discussing his Oklahoma City teammates.

For guys like Shai and J-Dub, he revealed it to be "style." Isaiah Hartenstein and Alex Caruso earned the descriptors of "strong" and "defense," respectively.

When it came to Ajay Mitchell, however, the big man went for a more splashy approach to his word choice, as he opted to go with the always coveted "star" distinction.
