The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to gain confidence in Chet Holmgren reaching his ceiling after his rookie season.
When the Oklahoma City Thunder selected Chet Holmgren No. 2 overall in the 2022 NBA Draft things were different. The Thunder had yet to make their first of two 15-plus win total leaps, questions of if Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was true No. 1 option filled the air, the attention turned to the Gonzaga product as a beacon of hope in the team's rebuild.
After a rookie season that saw Holmgren transform the Thunder's defense, land him on the All-Rookie team and finish runner up to Victor Wembanyama for the Rookie of the Year chase, the internal confidence in the youngsters ceiling is sky-high. Ahead of a massive summer of growth, as this Thunder organization saw fellow 2022 NBA Draft class member Jalen Williams take massive strides from his rookie to sophomore campaign, a pair of NBA veterans joined Daigneault in his praise of Holmgren.
