Chet Holmgren has long been considered by many stages in the past year the clear favorite to be selected first in the last draft.

In the end he was selected second, but tonight (Tuesday to Wednesday) he has already started to show why he is considered a rookie with the highest potential.

In his Oklahoma City uniform in the California Summer League uniform, Holmgren recorded a fantastic 23 minutes in which he demonstrated exceptional dominance on both sides of the court.

He scored 23 points (7 of 9 from the field, 4 of 6 from three), added 7 rebounds, handed out 4 assists and finished with 6 blocks - two of them on the giant Taco Pool (2.29 meters), the tallest player in the NBA.

Thanks to him, the Thunder defeated Utah 77:98 in their first game in the summer league, and while American commentators are very wary of drawing early conclusions based on these games, they too found it difficult to stop the enthusiasm from the diverse abilities Holmgren showed, with offensive qualities and offensive dominance of Rudy. In defense.

Another promising talent who stood out tonight is Keegan Marie, the fourth pick in the draft.

Sacramento's new forward led it to a 75-97 victory over the Lakers, with 24 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals.

In total, he has averaged 19.7 points and eight rebounds in the summer league so far.
