After not playing a single game last season as a rookie due to foot surgery, Thunder center Chet Holmgren has emerged as one of the league’s best young big men.
Just 17 games into his NBA career, Holmgren is averaging 17.9 points and 8.0 rebounds per game on 53.8% shooting from the floor. He’s also averaging 43.1% shooting from three on 4.2 attempts per game, which is an impressive mark for the 7’1” center.
76ers veteran guard Patrick Beverley has been incredibly impressed with the game of Holmgren, who carved up Beverley’s squad to the tune of 33 points and six rebounds last weekend.
