Thunder need Chet Holmgren to make crucial improvement

OKC Thunder big man Chet Holmgren is in the middle of another big season, but there is one way he can take a step forward.

The big man is blocking shots at a career-low rate as of this story's publication. He can both establish himself as an especially respected rim-protector while helping the Thunder become even more dangerous by blocking more shots.

In a lot of ways, Holmgren is enjoying a breakout season, as the 23-year-old is averaging 18.3 points per game while shooting 57.5 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from beyond the arc.
