1. If you’ve been using Twitter at all since Tuesday night, you’ve definitely seen a slew of comments about Chet Holmgren’s NBA Summer League debut. The rookie Thunder scored 23 points, grabbed seven rebounds, made four assists and stopped six shots.
Holmgren even caught Kevin Durant’s attention.
Of course, everyone is overreacting and the NBA fans have acted like Holmgren who just won Game Seven of the NBA Finals.
However, this would be the time to establish the nickname Holmgren. There are two factors that play into what Holmgren will learn in the NBA. The first, is 7 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 190 pounds. And two, his teammate, Alexige Bokosevsky, is 7 feet 1 inch and 190 pounds as well.
Holmgren said he’s already aware of all the funny memes and names that fans have given him and Pokusevski, like this one.
The Gonzaga star is ready to embrace it all.
Here are some nicknames for Holmgren to consider.
Will it be the slender towers or the slender towers of Holmgren and Bokosevsky? I love the ring that “Slim Towers” has, but if Holmgren just came close to living up to the hype that surrounds him now, he’d be worthy of many of the nicknames.
