Kevin Durant Reacts to Chet Holmgren’s Sublime Summer League Debut

It's probably not wise to read too much into NBA Summer League performances.

After all, the Summer League is a development showcase for rookies and young pros looking to solidify their career prospects. All-Stars and veteran players don't participate.

That said, Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren made one superstar take notice of his dazzling Summer League debut on Tuesday night.

Holmgren, the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NBA draft out of Gonzaga, recorded 23 points and seven rebounds and blocked a Summer League-record six shots as Oklahoma City beat the Jazz, 98–77, in Salt Lake City.
