The Oklahoma City Thunder selected Chet Holmgren with the second overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, the seven-footer out of Gonzaga was pegged as a unicorn big man who could space the floor, rebound, a playmaker, and rim protector. His long-awaited NBA debut was put on pause after he suffered a Lisfranc Fracture in August of 2022, to hold him out of the entire 2022-23 NBA season.

Now, as we sit on the doorsteps of August of 2023, the OKC Thunder are once again eager to see Chet Holmgren hit the hardwood. He once again laced up his shoes for Summer League, where he flashed unreal potential on both ends of the floor.
