Oklahoma City Thunder (DR) / FIBA (DR)
As the 2023-24 season approaches, the fight for the Rookie of the Year title could center around the duel between Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren. The Thunder freak has also delivered strong comments on his stature, often compared to that of the French.
Unlike his designated rival, he did not have the honor of being selected with the 1st choice of his Draft. On the other hand, he also places himself as one of the greatest hopes of NBA rackets in the minds of many observers. As such, Chet Holmgren could well wage a hell of a war with Victor Wembanyama, starting next year on the courts of the league. In any case, this is what the fans hope for.
Following his 2022-23 season white due to a serious right foot injury, the interior of Oklahoma City will also make his official debut next October. Until then, his name is unsurprisingly linked to that of the French in debates as viral as heated. But while the two freaks often find themselves pitted against each other, they share the same point of view on one most important subject.
Chet Holmgren cash on his physical transformation
Weighed at only 88kg when he arrived in the NBA, Holmgren seemed very slender from the top of his 2m13. Despite his physical glitches, he has therefore been busy expanding his stature somewhat in recent months, even if the results struggle to convince visually. Anyway, the nugget of the Thunder does not intend to do anything vis-à-vis this process, as he made it clear in All The Smoke :

A teammate of Chet Holmgren cash on Wembanyama: “He doesn’t…
It’s not just about bulking up. Gaming demands so much these days. You have to be able to move around well and do a lot of other things. It’s not all about gaining weight. I just want to work on my body.
Invited to discuss more clearly his vision on this point, Chet then split a testimony worthy of that delivered by Wemby:
What I really want is to get stronger and more athletic. Weight will follow as you gradually add muscle and age. But I don’t want to gain weight the wrong way and just make sure I have big, broad shoulders. It would make me slower and my knees would suffer. So the goal is to work on my body while keeping my way of playing.
Like his tricolor counterpart, the former Gonzaga has no intention of becoming a physical beast. According to him, this would only result in distorting his game and jeopardizing his health, and by extension his career in the long term. Suffice to say that the two men will obviously not take part in a muscle race, but rather want to do things right to strengthen themselves!
Like Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren brushes aside the idea of becoming a mountain of muscle. On the contrary, he prefers to build up muscles in a reasonable and reasoned way in order to maintain his immense range of talents.
