Chet Holmgren

Unguardable and in the middle of the best performance of his young career to date, Chet Holmgren decided he wasn’t quite done making history just yet. Prescribing the Golden State Warriors with a dose of déjà vu from the left corner, the 7-foot-1 big adds another bullet point to the list of things normal 7-foot-1 players don’t do, curling off of a screen to catch an inbounds pass before balancing himself just well enough to connect on a game-saving, fallaway 3-pointer to force overtime. Drawing a collective gasp from the road crowd, the 2022 No. 2 pick starred in his role of crowd-silencer, upping his play for 36 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks, and two 3-pointers. Becoming just NBA history’s second-ever rookie to produce those numbers, Holmgren was heroic in the OT victory on November 18, 2023.
