Chet Holmgren Posts Another Double-Double In Win
6 months agoOklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren may have experienced the worst shooting performance of his young career in Monday's 126–117 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, but he tallied his third double-double of the campaign and connected on all seven of his free-throw attempts. Holmgren ultimately closed with 16 points on 4-of-14 shooting, 12 rebounds, three assists, and three blocks. The 2022 No. 2 overall pick has been phenomenal thus far, following an entirely missed 2022-23 year due to a Lisfranc injury. Holmgren is returning first-round value in 12-team 9-category settings with averages of 17.0 points (55.3% shooting overall, 90.0% from the stripe), 8.0 boards, 2.7 dimes, plus 3.4 combined steals and blocks. Already resembling a young version of Kristaps Porzingis, the 21-year-old's next chance to impress is on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Holmgren swatted seven shots along with a double-double against the Cavs on Oct. 27.
