SALT LAKE CITY — The Oklahoma City Thunder have been in rebuild mode for a few years and added another piece in the 2022 NBA draft with the No. 2 pick, 7-foot, 195-pound center Chet Holmgren. Many criticize his slight frame and have doubts he can hold his own in the post at the NBA level.
His first test, and Summer League debut, came at the Salt Lake City Summer League on Tuesday night and on paper, it was going to be a big test. Literally. The Utah Jazz walked out on the court with one of the biggest frontcourts with 6-foot-11, 293-pound Kofi Cockburn and 7-foot-6 Tacko Fall.
