    The OKC Thunder have unleashed their young core after a strong start to the NBA season. Jalen Williams on how the Thunder are dealing with extremely high expectations this season. Nobody is expecting this but their new young star Chet Holmgren has just broken the Thunder’s block record after putting up 7 blocks against the Cleveland Cavaliers. After being constantly compared to Spurs’ Unicorn Victor Wembanyama, the 7 foot 1 Holmgren is making a name for himself as part of a young Oklahoma City Thunder core headed by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey, Jalen Williams, and Lu Dort. After OKC wins against the Cavs and the Chicago Bulls, the Thunder look primed to make the NBA playoffs once again for the first time since their rebuild began.
    NBA highlights have shown a lot of the OKC Thunder and their tremendous rebuild orchestrated by Sam Presti. Chet Holmgren is only one of the Thunder’s prized rookies along with Cason Wallace and Vasilije Micic. Holmgren has been one of the most anticipated young unicorns to enter the NBA. Chet Holmgren vs. Victor Wembanyama matchups will be the talk of the basketball world for years. But this early, Chet is already trying to set himself apart in the Rookie of the year race with the OKC Thunder’s superior talent.
    But how good really is Chet Holmgren? Victor Wembanyama has sent the NBA a message but can the OKC Thunder emerge into the playoffs with their young core of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Holmgren, Josh Giddey and Jalen WIlliams. Is Chet a DPOY candidate just like Wembanyama? Can OKC beat Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets in heir next game?

    I don't know this youngster worries me he looks like he's awful fragile especially when he plays people like Queen James that will put his shoulder down and run into you like a linebacker then you get called for the blocking foul when it's obviously a charge I think he intentionally tries to hurt people I just hope this youngster can make it through the season without getting hurt but like I said he looks awful fragile to me

    No game that chet did not fall down. The thunder need a big bodied center and make chet a power forward until chet develop his body. Sign dwight howard if they make the playoffs and draft kyle filipowski next year.

      I think they're really planning to use Chet as a center full-time to keep that five-out offense at all times. Seems to be working fine for now. Chet has held his own and even played better against Vucevic, Mobley, and Duren so far. We gotta see how OKC plays with Jwill back on the lineup

      Just because he can doesn't mean he should. A bruiser to help in the paint would definitely extend Chet's longevity.

      @riroballs  11 місяців тому +1

      I definitely agree with where you are coming from man.. I believe the front office is trying things out first. Just as Sam said, he wants to see what this current starting lineup can do first on a substantial sample size before he makes additional moves. We'll see what happens soon. Olivier Sarr has been really good as a big bodied backup center so far. I wouldn't be surprised to see both Jwill and Sarr finish the year as the teams' backups bigs

    Don't forget the other OKC rookie, Cason Wallace. He was drafted 10th, and the thunder traded up to get him. And he's already a huge impact! I think the big difference between this year and last year is our three point shooting. At the start of the year, we really only had Shai and Dort, both CAN shoot, but are pretty inconsistent. Midway through the season, Isaiah Joe stepped up and became a big 3 point shooter for us. This year, we have Chet, who is a pretty good shooter, and Cason Wallace is a KNOCK DOWN 3 point shooter. He has looked like a great shooter in every pre season and regular season game this season.
