- Chet Holmgren had a phenomenal rookie season, but in his second year with the Oklahoma City Thunder, it appears he's already broken out into star status. Let's dive into where Chet's improved, how special he truly is and how great he can become.

You can tell he was working out with KD over the summer. He gets low when he dribbles which has to be a HUGE focus when you're that tall.
Chet slowed down a lot last season. His strength & conditioning was the concern coming out of college. He played all 82 games in the season and you could see the fatigue in his arc when playoffs hit. Especially being the only Center. Now I think everyone will get to see more of his game especially now Giddeys touches are dispersed
Yeah his legs were cooked in the postseason and still was one of the best defenders all playoffs
Probably coming off of a year of not playing. Lost muscle and twitch
@@Boozydailywhat muscle and twitch? He was at rock bottom it didn’t have anything to do with that it was just an adjustment period like with everything in life 82 is more than double the most games he’s ever plsyed
The proverbial rookie wall. Something that Wembanyama didn't face by reason that he was on limited minutes early.
He'd be better this post season
Chet needed that one year of experience off that injury. Now he’s an absolute beast🔥⚡️
Giddey leaving freed up the ball more for Chet aswell, also the spacing and the fact that Giddey is an awful shooter
The Thunder will have the best D in the NBA this year. The perimeter has 2 of top 5 in steals last year (Caruso and SGA) + The Dorture Chamber , + Jdub with 7'2" wing span, + Cason Wallace! Then if anyone gets past that, you run into Chet and Hartenstein at the rim! These guys just delete offense.
We won’t just have the best defense, we will have a generational one statistically
It’s not even close right now, OKC’s opponents are scoring 10 less points on average than any other team.
Chet's leveled up on the offensive side 1 because he's got more experience and 2. during the past two off seasons he's been working out with the greatest scoring wing of all time MR Kevin Durant
Chet might be the #2 instead of jdub. Im so excited for this season.
Chet is already the second best player on OKC especially when you account for his defensive impact
As a Thunder fan I think Chet’s defense makes him the 2nd best all around player on the team, but when Dub breaks out of this shooting slump he’s in he’s gonna look like the second scoring option most nights. Either way tho it doesn’t really matter imo
Chet will be number one in no time.
@@Matthew-xl5bc I agree.
@@spencerwarner9268 yup, it doesn't matter because they will all take turns depending on who is feeling it.
He’s getting a lot of help being on that team though. Super deep roster
Dikembe Mutombo is very proud of Chet
HE KNOWS BALL!
But forreal, great video. Doubling his FTA and RA FG is insane. He has been amazing in the short roll this year, as you mentioned. His rebounding leap looks real (but will dip when Hartenstein and JWill come back) and the defense just continues to get better. That game against Denver he completely owned Jokic, seriously. This Thunder team has so much potential it’s insane. I also agree with your belief that they could be an elite defensive team of the last decade. Presti and that org does so much for their players to maximize their skills. Multi year finals run incoming! So excited to follow along.
just found your channel, AND I LOVE IT. loving how you just get to the point and don't yap, no self promo and just perfect explanation
I've never liked a video faster in my life
Future MVP for sure. I'm not a Thunder fan, but this man is BAAAAD.
Dude, your editing is perfectly timed, shows exactly what you narrate, in other words--flawless.
Wouldn’t be surprised if him and Dub both averaged 20+ this seasin
all this gold……WITH A WHOLE BIG ASS POT FULL OF MORE GOLD PICKS 😂😂😂😂 can’t wait for friday i’ll be in the building against the blazers bout to be lit
Great breakdown !!!
As a Thunder fan, I watched this entire video with the goofiest smile on my face
Chet is HIM! I don't know why so many people hated his skinny frame, like c'mon it's basketball not football, there is foul after gentle touch, you don't need to be jacked. Chet is 7'1 with skills of a guard, his special.
Now he's down with a hip injury from trying to go body to body on ablock attempt. Him being skinny isn't in and of itself a problem. But those kind of issues were and are the concern. If he learns how to play a style appropriate for his size, he can be great.
Dude is a unicorn when we drafted him my buddy was giving me crap about it I just told him Give It 2 years and see what happens I feel like we win a championship this year if we stay healthy
I love Chet, but let's be patient. He's young and he will have his ups and downs.
Its up to Thunder coaching and management not to overuse Holmgren. Maintaining Chet's health and perserving his energy will determine his success as a player.
He’s a sure Star. Every single Star and Coach in the league agrees with that. He’s a phenom to be able to give you the offensive skills he can and defense. Chet is the type of player who would’ve succeeded no matter where he went
No lies told.
Thunder Up! ⛈️
Really good video.
Great vid
Dude is so long. I have been a "too skinny" doubter but he can really play.
Petition to name this iteration of the team the “perfect storm thunder”
Feel like that name only fits if they win the championship
white KG
That was my pre draft comparison. People forget that KG was “too skinny” when he got drafted too. If KG grew up when Chet did, he would’ve been a very good 3pt shooter as well.
@@GoZags43 people saying KD but i don't see it, KD is too on ball and volume shooter. Also he's doesn't dominate on the defensive end like Chet.
@@metsrusI think it’s because they are both great 7ft shooters, and both started with the Thunder.
So it’s more of a connection.
@@-OAK- yeah that's true.
Good video.
He was the second pick behind Banchero (who is one of the most underrated players in the NBA right now IMHO). And runner up ROY to the highest rated rookie since LBJ. Not sure he was that underrated. But I guess maybe the hyperbole helps with views, so you do you.
Whats the music
This aged well given last night’s game
Imagine if Chet gains muscle, what do you think?
Giannis with a jump shot
He might be on what KD on and feel like he more fluid without being jacked think about the kind of player he is and his game style. He can only get so big before that weight starts to slow him down.
@@tekianonumeroochokd still put on weight just not as much of it was muscle and Chet likely should do the same
Putting on muscle will ruin his shot. His body isn’t supposed to be heavy. Look at his hands. He can’t palm the ball. His game is finesse
He’s been a monster to start the season⚡️
I'm not a hardcore fan, but it seems to me that Chet has a better feel of the game than Wemby. Chet's dribbling, drives, pump fake, fadeaway look fluid, like KD does. Wemby seems kind of out of control when he drives and it feels like his body is uncoordinated and "laggy" in some way (maybe its just because wemby is taller). Yes Wemby probably has higher potential from his physical attributes, but many people don't reach their physical potential... while other less physically gifted player who has better feel of the game, end up being the overall better player.
No
He is very fundamentally sound. That's what puts him over Wemby
He gets overshadowed by Wemby a lot!!!! But he is such a good player, just he is one a team with a true mvp caliber player unlike wemby
Chet isn’t overshadowed at all. His fans are obsessed with comparing him to wemby
This is actually year 3. And yes that means his rookie season was in year 2
Who cares. You act like that means anything when it comes to skill. I’d drop a list on your head of guys who are still tryna figure it out and it’s Year 5 for them 😂
@@808bboarder I'm just saying. Not looking to argue anything. But that first year on the bench for Chet definitely helped him shape his perspective on how to approach the game.
Should dye his hair and beard red in homage to Walton
Okc wins title within three years
Ball knower
W video
YOU MEAN YEAR 3
I like chet's game but i hate that he is on okc.
"The-White Howard"
He’s a bigger Kevin Garnett
Chet=Europian Toni Kukoc(find Toni youtube videos before NBA)
Just look moves.Even they have same jersey number.There is only one diferance,Toni won everything,in Europe,World and NBA.
I just HATE this "assertiveness" talk. It is SO unfair to players who play within their roles. And it deifies selfish ball hogs. Holmgren took fewer shots because that is what his coaches wanted of him. And because the team had other scoring opinions among veteran players who has already "paid their dues."
Respectfully…..Weight room
Question? Why did wemby win roty? Chets stats dwarf his. Was it bc he avg .3 black more per game? Genuinely I need some help. Chet alone gave his team a 15+ wins
Going in wemby was the favorite to win, Chet had a way better first half of the season, but then he started to slow down and his stats were deflating, going from I think 19 point a game to around 14 or 16ppg while wemby kept improving his stats.
Wemby is also the first option for his team, while Chet was the 3rd.
So wemby was seen to be doing more for his team, but really wemby being 1st inflated his stats and Chet had deflated stats by being 3rd
I think Chet was the better player but he just couldn’t keep that pace up. If he can keep up his current pace he will win DPOY, he’s 1st in blks pg and I’d 2nd in rebounds
@-OAK- I guess I'll take your word for it. Chet seemed to be consistent all year and wemby had a couple 30 points games is what pushed him over imo
Well jaylun imo he should have won it. Sitting out his first year, well the rookie hype wasn’t there. The NBA voters are influenced by the hype. Tonight’s game will be fun and telling.
That was determined before last season even started. Wemby improved his team exactly 0 wins from the year before.
@@slagellajs that's what I'm saying. Like there really isn't anything to hang your hat on when it comes to who is traditionally awarded this trophy when you compare him to chet. I'm serious. Chets rookie numbers and eye test are unreal for a rookie.
Cut this bullshit Chet is a third option playing with the guy who should have won mvp last year. Chet sees NO double or triple teams. He's a good player but MVP with guys like Victor and Luka playing? Nah....Chet gets a TON of open threes from SGA's gravity
You sound ignorant and haven’t been watching their games. Chet’s matchup to start the season was THE MVP. Notice how your mind drifted straight into offense and 3rd option? Chet is the legit 2nd option if you actually watch the games. They’re running their offense through Chet way more than Dub but continue to be salty lol
He is goo but as long as he is the teammate aka robin of SGA he will never be a future MVP.
Chet>Wemby
Wrong. Not even close wemby is way better
0 views in 38 seconds bro fell off
Wemby will humble him tonight
Either way he's looking toward a chip so I don't think he cares
This did go the opposite way lol wemby a bum
@ he was sick only shot the ball 5 times
This aged really well
