NBA Chet Holmgren au Thunder

as one might expect, Chet Holmgren is one of the best members of the 2023 rookie crop.

But the Oklahoma City center is even doing much better than that since not only is he a hit on the floors, but he is he is also approaching peaks never before conquered in history.

We have known for a long time that Chet Holmgren has everything he needs to be a crack player in the orange ball.

The question remained whether he could launch his NBA career well, having had to give up the 2022-23 campaign after a foot injury.

A priori, we don’t have too much to worry about after only 15 games… Still author of a very strong performance against Joel Embiid’s Sixers, he has already convinced everyone.

If some thought that no one could prevent Victor Embanyama from becoming Rookie of the Year, the former Gonzaga is clearly proving them wrong.

Already, he is in an unusual situation since he is playing at an impressive level in a team… at the top of the table, the Thunder being second in the Western Conference (11-5).

Wemby and his Spurs cannot keep up with 11 defeats in a row…

But if collective results ultimately matter little in the race for ROY, Holmgren can also boast of having top-notch individual stats (nearly 18 points, 8 rebounds and more than 2 blocks per game).

But it is above all his address which is mind-blowing: 55.7% including 43.4% at three points, crazy figures for a pivot.

He even started on historical bases in terms of percentages:

The incredible efficiency of Chet Holmgren in scoring

No rookie in history has ever finished a season averaging at least 15 points with a True Shooting Percentage of 65% or higher.

Chet averages 18 points per game at a True Shooting Percentage of 69%.

As a reminder, the True Shooting Percentage brings together the percentages for two-point shooting, free throws and behind the arc.

Also running at nearly 88% on the throw line, the Oklahoma City nugget is therefore a real efficiency monster at the moment.

Taking full advantage of the spaces created by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for example, he shows that he is capable of cracking down at the slightest opportunity and this is what makes him so dangerous, while not making the attack his frankness. even more unpredictable. Quite a combo.

So of course, the 2023-24 season is still long and he will have to maintain this level of play over time.

But Chet Holmgren is already showing that he is very well acclimated to the NBA, probably much more than his rival Victor Wembanyama. It must be said that it helps to have a well-oiled collective around you…
