<p>Holmgren has been a key player for the <strong>Thunder </strong>in his 2023-2024 rookie season. He is averaging 17.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. He is also shooting 55.7% from the field and 43.4% from three-point range.</p>



<p>Not only does the Oklahoma City Thunder have Chet Holmgren, but they also have other young players who have gradually become key players for the franchise, such as <strong>Josh Giddey, Jalen Williams, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.</strong></p>



<p>Chet Holmgren is one of the rookies with the most expectations for this season. While he hasn’t received the same media attention as <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/victor-wembanyama">Victor Wembanyama</a></strong>, that doesn’t mean he’s not a talented player.</p>



<h2>Holgrem’s record during his first month in the NBA</h2>



<p>According to NBA History (@NBAhistory), Chet Holmgren is the first rookie in Oklahoma City Thunder history<strong> to score 30+ points in multiple games</strong> during the first month of his professional career in the league.</p>

<p>Holmgren has been praised for his maturity and poise on the court. He is also a very hard worker who is always looking to improve his game. Thunder coach Mark Daigneault has said that Holmgren is a “special player” who has the potential to be a star in the NBA.</p>



<p>Holmgren is a key player for the Thunder’s future. He is a young, talented player who is only going to get better. The Thunder are hoping that Holmgren can help them build a contender in the NBA.</p>



<p>So far the Oklahoma City Thunder have a record of 11-5 overall, they have one of the best offenses in the league as of November 26 with an average of 119.6 points per game, being the 4th best offense among the 30 teams.</p>



<h2>How common is it for rookies to become starters in the NBA?</h2>



<p>It is relatively uncommon for rookies to become starters in the NBA. In the 2021-2022 season, only 12 rookies started at least 20 games. This means that only about 6% of rookies were able to crack the starting lineup on their teams.</p>



<h2>How often do rookies with big expectations turn out to be busts?</h2>



<p>It is difficult to say exactly how often rookies with big expectations turn out to be busts, as there is no clear definition of what constitutes a “bust.” However, it is clear that some rookies who are highly touted coming out of college do not live up to expectations in the NBA.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oklahoma-city-thunder" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oklahoma City Thunder</a></strong> didn’t hesitate to<strong> take a chance on Chet Holmgren</strong>. Despite all the injury concerns that come with players with his type of body, they knew the upside was just too high to ignore.</p>



<p>There are always doubts about lanky seven-footers and how they ma<strong>y not be able to withstand the physical burden of an 82-game regular season</strong>. And with Holmgren missing his entire rookie season nursing a foot injury, all eyes were on him now.</p>



<p>So far, so good for the Gonzaga product. He’s been <strong>a major factor as a rim protector for the 2-1 Thunder</strong>, also showcasing his shot-making and ball-handling skills on the other end of the floor.</p>



<p>Even <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-nuggets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Nuggets</a> star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nikola-jokic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nikola Jokic</a> </strong>was impressed with his game. However, the <strong>reigning</strong> <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> Finals MVP </strong>believes he needs to get ‘a little bit fatter’ to take his game to the next level.</p>

<h2>Nikola Jokic Says Chet Holmgren Needs To Get Fatter</h2>



<p>“<em>He’s a really talented guy, but this is his first year. He’s still learning everything: the game, how quick it is, where is (he at) an advantage, where is (he at) a disadvantage,</em>” Jokic told The Denver Post.<strong><em> “I think he needs experience. I think he needs to be a little bit fatter, to be honest. But yes, he has a talent that is unique.”</em></strong></p>



<p>Jokic got bragging rights over the former No. 2 pick, leading the Nuggets to a 128-95 road win over the Thunder. He score<strong>d 28 points with 14 rebounds</strong> and five dimes, while Holmgren had 19 points with four rebounds.</p>



<p>Even so, he’s had a solid start to his NBA career, averaging <strong>15.3 points with 7.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 2.3 blocks per game on 57.1% from the floor, 54.5% from beyond the arc, and 72.7% from the charity stripe,</strong> all while not even being his team’s primary scorer.</p>



<h2>Holmgren Disagrees With Jokic</h2>



<p>Needless to say, Jokic isn’t the only one who has urged Holmgren to bulk up a little. Nonetheless, he doesn’t think he needs to <strong>add weight just for the sake of it,</strong> as it could be a disservice to his body:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231030_BUS_81791_Chet-Holmgren-1-1024x576.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Chet Holmgren" class="wp-image-81792" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Chet-Holmgren-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Chet-Holmgren-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Chet-Holmgren-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Chet-Holmgren-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Chet-Holmgren-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Chet Holmgren</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><em>“I</em></strong><em><strong>t’s not just about being big,”</strong></em> Holmgren said on All The Smoke.<em> “There’s so much into the game now. You got to be able to move still and do so many different things. It’s not necessarily about gaining weight. It’s really just trying to work on my body — stronger, more athletic. <strong>The weight kinda comes with it, as you add some muscle and get older, you always add weight. I don’t want to add the wrong weight just get some big broad shoulders, and now I’m moving slow, can’t move (and) my knees hurt. The focus has been working on my body all around and how it plays into my game.”</strong></em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231024#BUS#79660"></div>


<p>Holmgren staying healthy could do wonder<strong>s for the Thunder’s postseason aspirations.</strong> And while they’re definitely going to take a cautious approach with him early in his career, he’s looked strong and healthy in his first handful of games in the Association.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-antonio-spurs">San Antonio Spurs</a></strong> made the obvious choice and selected <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/victor-wembanyama">Victor Wembanyama</a></strong> with the first overall pick in the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba"><strong>NBA</strong></a> Draft. <strong>Paul George</strong>, however, does not see him as favorite to win <strong>Rookie of the Year</strong> in 2024.</p>



<p>In a recent episode of his <em>Podcast P</em>, the Los Angeles Clippers star has shown praise for the Spurs prospect. It makes sense, since his college performances suggest we have a <strong>generational talent</strong> before our eyes.</p>



<p>However, when it comes to the ROTY conversation, George believes <strong>Chet Holmgren</strong> leads the race. The second overall pick in 2022 missed last season due to injury, but now looks ready to prove his worth.</p>



<h2>Paul George believes Chet Holmgren, not Victor Wembanyama will win ROTY</h2>



<p>“<em>It’s a lot of good talent</em>,” George said on a recent episode of <em>Podcast P. “<strong>I mean it’s going to come down to who’s gonna play more. I’m going to go with Chet</strong>. I think he is gonna play a ton. They’re gonna be a winning team.</em></p>



<p><em>“The way they play, it’s gonna be fun to watch. So I think he’s gonna get a lot of coverage. He plays both ends, he blocks shots, <strong>he’s a little bit more polished, you know, further along, I think, than Wemby is.</strong></em></p>



<p><em>“<strong>Wemby’s gonna have a little learning curve</strong>. I know Chet didn’t play much due to the injury his rookie year, but being in the league, seeing the game up close for a year is gonna give him that much more of a head start. <strong>I think Chet’s going to be the Rookie of the Year.”</strong></em></p>



<h2>Who was the last ROTY winner?</h2>



<p><strong>Paolo Banchero</strong> is the last player to win Rookie of the Year Award, receiving the accolade in the 2022-23 NBA season.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oklahoma-city-thunder">Oklahoma City Thunder</a></strong> has one of the youngest rosters in the league, and they are betting that players like <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chet-holmgren">Chet Holmgren</a></strong> will be the future of the franchise and that they will help not only the franchise, but also Team USA at some point.</p>



<p>However, having a young core does not guarantee anything for the Thunder, as not all of the youngsters on the roster are of the same caliber. <strong>Only a couple are likely to make it far with the franchise.</strong></p>



<p>On the other hand, the <strong>2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup</strong> is getting closer, and although the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/usmnt">United States</a></strong> will not have the biggest names on their roster, they hope that the players they select will be more than enough.</p>



<h2>Who are the two Thunder players who were called up for the Team USA training camp?</h2>



<p>The United States will play in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, but they are still finalizing the list of 12 players. For now, they are holding training camps, and <strong>Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams were two of the Thunder players recently called up for the training camp.</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="445" height="504" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230723_BUS_34257_shams-charania.webp&amp;width=445&amp;height=504" alt="" class="wp-image-34273" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/shams-charania.jpg 445w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/shams-charania-265x300.jpg 265w" sizes="(max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px"></figure></div></figure></div>



<p>Other players who were called up include<strong> Cade Cunningham of the Detroit Pistons, Jalen Green of the Houston Rockets, and Keegan Murray of the Sacramento Kings</strong>. All of them are young players who are considered to be future stars.</p>

<p>It seems that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/victor-wembanyama">Victor Wembanyama </a></strong>was not as lethal as some expected during his first game in the <strong>2023 Summer League</strong>, although it would be unfair to judge him after an offseason game where he is just showing his skill, but other rookies like <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chet-holmgren">Chet Holmgren</a></strong> did not waste the opportunity to show their top form.</p>



<p>Wembanyama was supposed to be dominant during his first Summer League game but things didn’t go as most expected but they weren’t bad for him either. Victor is going through a transition from the French League to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a>.</p>





<p>On the other hand, Chet Holmgren is back after suffering an injury to one of his feet that left him out of action for a while and despite the fact that critics said that he was not going to be the same after the injury, Chet showed everything contrary.</p>



<h2>Why was Chet Holmgren better than Victor Wembanyama during the 2023 Summer League?</h2>



<p>Based on the stats during the debut of both players, Holmgren and Wembanyama, during the 2023 Summer League, <strong>Chet was better with 23 points scored, 7/9 Field goals, 7 rebounds, 6 blocks and 4 assists.</strong> On the other hand, <strong>Wembanyama posted 9 points, 2/13 field goals, 8 rebounds, 5 blocks and 3 assists.</strong></p>

<p>The comparisons between the two of them are expected to go viral during the upcoming 2023-2024 season, but the most interesting thing will be when they have to play against each other in what could be a big game.</p>

<p>Nevertheless, this short-list&nbsp;includes at least 4&nbsp;top-picks of the most recent NBA Draft. Which means that they have met the expectations that each team placed on the shoulders of each player.&nbsp;Check out the full list down below.</p>

<p>There was a lot of&nbsp;skepticism&nbsp;about&nbsp;<strong>Paolo Banchero</strong>&nbsp;being&nbsp;the No.1 pick overall in the <strong>2022 NBA Draft.</strong>&nbsp;However, Banchero pushed&nbsp;harder and proved them he was worth&nbsp;it. Although, the <strong>Orlando Magic</strong>&nbsp;gave him two games in the summer league,&nbsp;he averaged&nbsp;<strong>20 points</strong>, <strong>5 rebounds </strong>and <strong>6 assists</strong> in 30 minutes of play</p>

<p><a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/sports/chet-holmgrens-profile-height-weight-shoe-size-and-parents-20220311-0020.html" target="_blank"><strong>Chet Holmgren</strong></a> is the name on everyone&rsquo;s list for the upcoming <strong><a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/why-is-chet-holmgren-considered-a-better-pick-than-paolo-banchero-20220530-0001.html" target="_blank">NBA Draft</a> </strong>on June 23rd. The 20-year-old, Minnesota native was a rock for Gonzaga in his only season with the team. Prior to playing in the NCAA, <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-draft-2022-top-3-candidates-for-first-overall-pick-20220518-0015.html" target="_blank">Holmgren</a> was the number one ranked player coming out of high school and at Gonzaga, he recorded numbers such as averaging 14.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game.</p> 
<p>At seven feet tall, he is considered one of the biggest mixed bags in <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-indiana-pacers-looking-to-trade-two-big-names-as-team-rebuilds-20220620-0006.html" target="_blank">NBA</a> draft history, praised for his shot-blocking, playmaking, rebounding, and shooting skills. The question surrounding Holmgren is not whether he is good enough for the NBA but rather whether he can adapt quickly to the physical nature of the league.</p> 
<p>Below is a brief overview of <strong>Chet Holmgren</strong>, what he brings to the table, and which are the teams that are looking at the guard as we enter the <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/nba/2022-nba-draft-lottery-full-draft-order-how-it-works-and-mock-draft-after-lottery-20220517-0040.html" target="_blank">NBA Draft</a>.</p> 
<h2>Chet Holmgren skills</h2> 
<p>Chet Holmgren is considered by scouts to be a good protector of the rim and one of the best defensive prospects coming out of the draft. Despite his big size, Holmgren can dribble effectively, even taking players on one on one. <strong>Holmgren&rsquo;s on court numbers are impressive, 61% from the field, 73% in doubles, 41% triples and 75% on free throws.</strong></p>

<p>Holmgren has drawn comparisons to Kevin Garnett, Anthony Davis, and Kevin Durant. When it comes to the draft the only way Holmgren won&rsquo;t go first is if Jabari Smith is picked before him. A scout told Yahoo Sports that, <em>&ldquo;(Holmgren) intangibles are off the chart… He&rsquo;s so unique physically with all the other skills and abilities, and if you&rsquo;re willing to take that home run swing, he&rsquo;s totally worth it.&rdquo;</em></p>

<p>According to numerous reports, Chet Holmgren favors a move to the Oklahoma City Thunder, <strong><em>&ldquo;(Holmgren) want to go to Oklahoma City because you just mentioned that the players that they&rsquo;ve been playing in the frontcourt, and you start thinking about that second contract and the opportunities and he has way more freedom because of the roster in front of him than maybe he would in Orlando… That&rsquo;s the preference that I&rsquo;ve heard, and it makes a lot of sense from a basketball standpoint&rdquo; </em></strong>was stated in a Topic Thunder podcast by Sam Vecenie on June 16th.</p> 
<p>Nonetheless reports on June 19th suggested that Holmgren had met with people from the <strong>Orlando Magic</strong>, the meetings included dinners and long chats with executives at the club.</p> 
<p>In the end no matter where Holmgren goes, he will be one of the most talked about prospects coming out of the draft in quite some time.</p>
