Chet Holmgren

Chet Holmgren is honestly one of the most fascinating prospects to come through the NBA in years — a seven-footer from Minneapolis who can shoot threes, block shots at an elite level, and move like a small forward. He was the consensus number-one high school recruit in 2021, went to Gonzaga where he looked like a future franchise cornerstone, then got drafted second overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2022. His entire rookie season got wiped out by a foot injury he suffered before it even started, which felt like such a cruel twist for a kid with that much promise. But he came back for the 2023–24 season and showed exactly why the hype was real — scoring, rim protection, playmaking, the whole package. OKC already looks like a dynasty in the making, and Holmgren at 21 or 22 is still just scratching the surface of what he can become.
