Chet Holmgren getting overrated chants in Summer League after dropping 15-9-2 and 4 blocks in his first game back in a year and getting the win convincingly is crazy hating lol. – 10:59 PM

Chet Holmgren’s fourth block of the night was a big one.
Side note: He had six blocks in his Summer League debut last year. – 10:36 PM

If I were a Thunder fan, I feel like I’d be terrified to watch Holmgren play.
There’s so much that looks like it could snap at any time. – 10:30 PM

Chet Holmgren has 3 blocks in 20 minutes in his first game time in a year.
He can be a gamechanger for OKC’s rim protection. – 10:28 PM

Chet Holmgren looked like a guy who hadn’t played in a year for most of the first quarter and like a guy who can make an impact for the Thunder this season since. – 10:11 PM

Chet Holmgren is flashing his ability now for OKC — up to 11p/4r/1b, with a series of acrobatic moves. Holding up vs. physicality remains problematic, though. – 9:43 PM

Chet’s first bucket: an offensive putback of his own miss over Luka Šamanić.
Holmgren seemed a bit hesitant in the 1st quarter but he’s come out much more aggressive in the 2nd quarter. – 9:39 PM

Chet Holmgren has looked (understandably) rusty in the first four minutes. Short on his shots and a little sloppy. – 9:21 PM

More on this storyline
Brandon Rahbar: Chet Holmgren refuses to do his postgame interview without his teammates, just like last year. They were asked what it was like to have him back. Jalen Williams: “It’s a blessing.” Tre Mann: “Reaall good. Especially down at the rim.” Jaylin Williams: “Great. It was great sharing the court with him.” -via Twitter @BrandonRahbar / July 3, 2023
