Chet Holmgren: The conversation …

Chet Holmgren: The conversation regarding Holmgren’s frame is already getting tiring as more and more people start tuning into college basketball with March Madness heating up. I get it. He’s skinny and looks like a stiff breeze could blow him over. By the way, those conversations aren’t just happening in the public sphere. High-level NBA executives who are just now starting to attend games more and focus on scouting college hoops as opposed to the trade deadline or their own teams’ battles with COVID-19 are similarly debating Holmgren’s rare frame and game. It’s because we haven’t seen anything like this before. The term “unicorn” was often overused in the late 2010s as people searched for 7-foot rim protectors who could shoot, but Holmgren is genuinely something that hasn’t really entered the NBA. New players whom NBA executives can’t fit tightly into their little archetypical box often get questioned in this way.
