After a strong defensive rookie campaign, the signs show that Holmgren could be one of the league's best defensive players for years to come.
Few players enter the league with as much of a defensive impact as Chet Holmgren made for the Oklahoma City Thunder last season.
The 7-foot-1 center averaged 16.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, immediately becoming one of the Thunder's key contributors on its way to a No. 1 seed. Although many questioned if his body was NBA-ready — citing his lanky frame and risk for injury against bigger centers — he proved that it was simply all speculation.
Already being an established defensive weapon in his rookie year should bode extremely well for his future in the NBA. He's only going to improve, learn and grow as time goes on, which will shape him into an even better defender. If he continues on this trajectory, an All-Defensive selection should be an expectation for him as next season approaches.
