Monday was a shining example of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Mark Daigneault managing Chet Holmgren's minutes to near perfection given the circumstances of the Thunder's roster.
When the Oklahoma City Thunder lost Isaiah Hartenstein, Kenrich Williams and Jaylin Williams to injuries to start the season, there was a growing concern about lone big man left standing Chet Holmgren. How would the seven footer shoulder the load as the only front court option for Mark Daigneault?
The Gonzaga product is logging 27.9 minutes per game this season through the first seven contests down from his 29.4 mark a year ago. This was highlighted during Monday's clash with the Magic where the Thunder earned a 16 point game only seeing Holmgren log 21 minutes and 30 seconds in that battle, sitting the big man the entire final frame.
