Chet Holmgren has had his fair share of injuries and, in turn, has struggled to stay on the floor at times throughout his tenure with the OKC Thunder.
In fact, through three seasons with the team, the big man has suited up for 114 out of a potential total of 246 regular-season games, equating to an availability rate of just 46.3 percent.
Despite his ailments, however, when active and healthy, it's truly difficult to find many bigs better than the 23-year-old, especially on the less glamorous side of the ball.
Unfortunately, it appears that the folks at ESPN have forgotten just how tremendous a player Holmgren is on defense when at full strength, as they had him as low as third in their recent discussion of who they believe will wind up winning Defensive Player of the Year in 2026.
