Chet Holmgren, Thunder’s rookie forward, gained valuable insights after facing off against the dominant Serbian big man, Nikola Jokic, in a challenging matchup on the court.
Despite a commendable performance, where he emerged as the top scorer for Oklahoma City with 19 points, Holmgren acknowledged the need for personal improvement.
He recognized Jokic’s prowess, emphasizing, “You gotta take it to heart and figure out what you can do to be better,” as reported by Brandon Rahbar.
Jokic’s commanding presence and skill set, leading the reigning NBA champions to a resounding victory over the Thunder, provide Holmgren with a significant learning experience as he navigates his debut season after recovering from a Lisfranc injury.
Holmgren’s determination to enhance his game in light of the challenging matchup underscores his commitment to growth and development as a rookie player in the competitive NBA landscape.
