General manager Sam Presti loves Chet Holmgren's competitive edge.
has been known as a basketball junkie long before his days with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been described as a player who lives and breathes hoops — someone that is always looking for a way to improve.said during his exit interview a season ago, last season was the worst version we’d see from Holmgren. And it was pretty dang good.
A season ago, the rising star averaged 16.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. He established himself as an elite defensive anchor and impressed with his ball tracking skills. “I think I've had some quips about him in the past because he's quip worthy.

Extremely ambitious, but it's really all the same agenda, which is prioritizing winning.
