The Thunder have always been known for being good at drafts, their rookies and Spurs assistant coaches, the Suns' team doctors, and the Rockets' abandonment are considered to be the four treasures of the NBA, and in the past ten years, they have selected Durant, Harden, and Westbrook three MVPs, as well as a large number of excellent players such as Reggie, Ibaka, adams, etc., which can be said to have never looked away. The Thunder have a pick this summer, which means they're likely to pick another player at the MVP level, and that player is Chet Homegren.
Chet Holmgren is a very characteristic player, his height has reached 2.13 meters, but he weighs only 88kg, which can be described as weak and windy. If placed in the past, this thin bamboo pole type of internal line is afraid that it will not even enter the first round, and the Thunder scout seems to be dizzy. Will the Thunder pick the wrong person? Obviously impossible, Chet Homegren does have a superiority.
A very important reason why the small-ball era of inner players is not optimistic is that they are bulky, slow to move, and easy to leak outside shooters, and Chet Homegren does not have such a problem. He was tall and could block the shooting line of sight of an outside shooter with a single reach. Because of his weight of only 88kg, his body is very flexible, his movement speed is super fast, he once ate Curry alone in training games, and he averaged 3.7 blocks per game during college, which can be called the nemesis of outside shooters, and he can gain a foothold in the NBA with defense alone.
Not only can he defend the three-pointer, Chet Holmgren himself has a strong shooting ability, and his outside shooting rate can reach 41.2% during college, and many times he is facing the defense. Soft feel, fast shot, delicate technique, high shot position, impeccable shooting.
Speaking of which, one might ask, will Chet Homegren be the next Jokic? In fact, Chet Homegren's idol has always been Durant, and he wants to be his type of player. With a heart to chase Durant, presumably the offensive ability will not be bad, if both offensive and defensive ends become the top, it is difficult to miss the MVP.
The unusual Chet Homegren is bound to play an extraordinary game, and his addition will have a huge impact on the Thunder. The Thunder already have a lot of good players, such as Alexander and Josh Gidey, what is missing is a three-pointer like Chet Homegren, who can shoot three-point and defend the interior line, and now everything is ready, just waiting for next season to start. It is worth mentioning that Homegren likes this team very much and can't wait to break out of the world with Alexander and Gidey. Looking forward to their performances, but also looking forward to more and more wonderful NBA.
