Chet Holmgren had a 3-10 game.
Point is 1 game doesn't really mean anything especially in Summer League. That goes for Hardy's 28pt one the other day.
But I am seeing plenty of stuff I like from him. Stuff that any team could use. He could've easily had way more than 5 ast tonight. His teammates missed all his reads. He got blocked a bunch by Tacko, but I also think he found really creative ways to get his shot off that would've been called a foul in the league.
I still like the pick, just tempering my expectations. He’s going to need a little time, mainly to improve his footwork, handles, and decision making. How far he goes will come down to how much he can improve.
