In his latest podcast episode of The Ryen Russillo podcast, The Ringer’s Ryan Russillo revealed that he’s heard the Oklahoma City Thunder are Gonzaga forward Chet Holmgren’s preferred destination.
“Well, there’s also something that backs it up to his agent Bill Duffy, very powerful agent doing this a long time. I’ve been told this is where Duffy and Chet want to go. They want to go to Oklahoma City because you just mentioned that the players that they’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’s the preference that I’ve heard and it makes a lot of sense from a basketball standpoint”
Reyn Russillo had Sam Vecenie on to talk all things draft
After Sam talked about Chet being the “logical” fit in OKC, Russillo confirmed:
“His agent is Bill Duffy. Very powerful agent, been doing this a long time. I’ve been told this is where Duffy and Chet want to be.”
