Chet Holmgren is an American professional basketball player who plays as a center for the NBA team Oklahoma City Thunder. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Holmgren picked up basketball from his father, 7 feet tall Dave Holmgren, a former University of Minnesota player. As a highly touted five-star athlete, Holmgren made waves during his one-year stint at Gonzaga, averaging an impressive stat line of 14.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 3.7 blocks per game. In the 2022 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder selected Holmgren with the second overall pick. It was the highest-selected pick from Gonzaga University and the top-drafted player from Minnesota, surpassing Kevin McHale's 1980 selection at third overall. Unfortunately for him, Holmgren faced a setback just before the rookie season began.
While playing in a Pro-am pre-season game, he suffered a Lisfranc injury causing him to miss the entire 2022/23 NBA season. Consequently, the 2023/24 season marked his official rookie debut. His 7-foot-6-inch wingspan contributes to his standout shot-blocking and rebounding skills. Alongside superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at the Oklahoma City Thunder, Holmgren forms a promising duo.
