NBA Draft Profile: Chet Holmgren
Photo by Joe Buglewicz/Getty ImagesThe Portland Trail Blazers’ forgettable 2021-22 season is in the books and it is time to turn our attention to the 2022 NBA Draft. Unlike recent years, Portland possesses multiple picks in this year’s process. After finishing the regular season with a 27-55 record, the Blazers enter the lottery draw with the sixth-best odds in the NBA. Buoyed by those odds, the Blazers are poised to exit the draft with the rights to a marquee prospect.
Today’s profile looks at Gonzaga big man Chet Holmgren. In his lone season in Spokane, Holmgren lived up to the hype with his shot blocking and scoring touch.
