OKC Thunder player grades: Chet Holmgren impresses in 98-77 Summer League win over Jazz

The Oklahoma City Thunder blew out the Utah Jazz, 98-77, as Chet Holmgren impresses.

The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated their first 2022 Summer League game against the Utah Jazz with a 21-point, 98-77 blowout win.

But the biggest story of the night was easily No. 2 pick Chet Holmgren dominating his first game wearing a Thunder jersey. Other players who also played extremely well include Josh Giddey and Jalen Williams.

Although the caveat of this being a summer league game is true, Holmgren dominating the way he did is more than enough reason to excite the fans.

Overall, this game could not have gone any better for the Thunder as Holmgren showed the type of player he could be against NBA competition instead of just pseudo-NBA competition.

Let’s hand out grades for this impressive win and impressive individual performances.

The first-round rookies are ready to go for Summer League.

The Oklahoma City Thunder officially announced the signings of the first-round rookies on Tuesday. No. 2 pick Chet Holmgren, No. 11 pick Ousmane Dieng and No. 12 pick Jalen Williams all signed their rookie scale deals.

Contracts for first-round picks are for four years with the first two being guaranteed and the final two being team options.

The Thunder needed to sign its first-round picks in order for them to play in summer league, which officially kicks off Tuesday night against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Jaylin Williams, who went No. 34 in the second round, does not need to be signed onto a contract in order to play summer league, per Locked On’s Rylan Stiles.

Second-round contracts usually takes more time to negotiate in order to figure out guaranteed money and how many team options there will be in them.
