Chet Holmgren is going to score easier come regular season. He’ll have guards hitting him in his spots and taking pressure off him. Not to mention, he’ll be much closer to in game shape by then. The important note from Summer League has been his consistent defense.

The perfect big man to pair with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a lob threat and shooter, which they didn’t have this past season. Chet Holmgren is both of those things and more. Sure, the defense will improve, but don’t underestimate how much the offense will open up for OKC.

Adding more and more depth around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is going to continue and open then game up for him. The team is built around sharing the ball and letting everyone eat. However, the All-NBA First-Team guy knows when and how to take over a game.
