INSANE
The noise around Chet Holmgrenβs offensive impact will continue to grow louder as the years go on. To me, heβs had a lot of grace because the Thunder have been successful and his defense is extraordinary. But at times like this, when J-Dub is not out there, theoretically Holmgren should be in a position to carry a heavy offensive load. Eventually the questions on whether it is enough for a number 2 pick to be an an elite defender but largely a play-finisher will become a conversation. Especially when heβs individually capable of so much more.
