Kristaps Porzingis was left extremely impressed by rookie star Chet Holmgren during the Boston Celtics’ 127-123 road loss vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night (14 points/3 rebounds/7 assists/4 blocks/5-9 FG/3-5 3-PT/1-2 FT/+4 +/-).

“I love his mindset. Just the way he plays, you could tell that he’s a hard worker and he’s playing really hard. And honestly, I’m a little bit surprised, he’s really good, he’s really good. He’s already really effective on a really, really good team. So, he’s the real deal, he’s the real deal, and I think he’s only going to get better. But especially as a rookie what I’m most surprised about is his effectiveness, his efficiency, and he has a bright future ahead of him if he keeps going in this direction.”
