The name of Chet Holmgren is still relatively unknown in France, but it should not last very long. At 18, the one some call the “white Kevin Durant” is ready to destroy everything in High School. He also started his season with a legendary match!
Despite the pandemic that is still raging in the United States, High School basketball has resumed its rights in some states – without real respect for safety measures, it must be said. But after a truncated season last year, these teens couldn’t wait to show off their talent in the eyes of the NCAA and NBA scouts.
Moreover, one of the best high school students in the country did not take long to distinguish himself. For his first match of the season, Chet Holmgren, 18 years old and 2m13, released a staggering line of stats, all against other 5-star prospects! The one who is seen as the “Kevin Durant white”, thanks to its handles and mobility risk of destroying everything!
24 points, 20 rebounds, 12 blocks, 5 assists, all against 5 star players… Mind-blowing (do not hesitate to scroll through the publication to see its highlights)! At the start of the season, the pivot is proving to all scouts why he is the best player in his age group. And it is not only on this match that he stood out!
In fact, one only has to watch the two back-to-back actions at 5:45 am in the video below to understand who Chet Holmgren is. Excellent in protecting the circle, he can also lift the ball and punish 3 points when exiting the screen. The 2m13 players with these skills can surely be counted on the fingers of one hand …
In the 2022 draft, Chet Holmgren is expected to fight with Frenchman Victor Wembanyama for a possible No.1 spot. His talent is unique, and could wreak havoc in the NBA!
