Well, we here at Welcome to Loud City were right on the money regarding Oklahoma City’s draft choice Thursday.
With the No. 2 overall pick, the Thunder selected Gonzaga’s Chet Holmgren.
This mighty tall (7-footer) will be great for the team defensively.
As our very own Jinal Tailor pointed out, Holmgren is an excellent two-way player that can protect the rim and shoot outside, greatly benefit the team, and anchor a defense effortlessly.
His shooting from outside, 39% for the season, should also improve the Thunder’s spacing.
Oklahoma City struggled to space the floor last season when they simultaneously played Favors, Bazley, and Dort.
