The Thunder have been a bit interesting this year, with a 40-17 record after beating the Rockets in a big comeback, exactly the same record as the Timberwolves, who are first in the West, and are in second place because of the opposition. The Thunder have been riding high this year and have surprised everyone. This youth team, under the leadership of star Alexander, has emerged and is expected to repeat the feat of the 2012 Thunder Finals.
This year's Thunder is still a young team, the star Alexander is only 25 years old, most of the main players are young, and a large number of people who are still in their rookie contracts are so fierce, so in the next few years, as long as the Thunder management does not make fools again, then they will be a championship battle in the next few years. In this ferocious team, Alexander averages 312 points is a well-deserved big boss.
Some people say that it is an average of 19 per game1-point "Harden Jr." Jalen Williams, who is only 22 years old, is the 12th pick in the first round in 2022, ranking fifth in the league in three-point shooting rate of 45% this season, with an average plus/minus of +5 per game6 ranked 18th in the league! But I think that the second leader of the Thunder team is not "Harden Jr." Jalen, but Holmgren, the top star who just entered the league this year.
Holmgren is averaging 171 point 77 rebounds and 27 assists 07 steals 26 blocks, the stats show his comprehensiveness. His performances have been eye-catching, especially on both the offensive and defensive ends. He shot 54 from the field4%, and the three-point shooting percentage also reached 403%。What's more, in key games, he showed extraordinary ability, such as in the game against the Rockets, he cut down 29 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks of amazing statistics, becoming one of the absolute cores of the team.
Jalen Williams, as a player who entered the NBA in the same year as Holmgren, also had a good performance. But Holmgren's talent and versatility have allowed him to play an even more important role in the team. Despite Jalen's ability to score, Holmgren was superior when it came to teamwork and key moments of the game. This also makes Holmgren an indispensable presence on the Thunder team.
Holmgren's rise has brought new hope and possibility to the Thunder. As a young player, he still has a lot of room to grow and has a long way to go. If he can stay in good shape and health, Holmgren could be one of the Thunder's future core players and support the team's championship dreams. At the same time, he is also one of Alexander's best helpers, and the cooperation between the two will bring more surprises and expectations to the future of the Thunder.
Overall, the Thunder's performance this year has been a pleasant surprise, and Holmgren's rise has added a lot of brilliance to the team's future. His versatility and consistency give a glimpse of his potential and room for development in the future. He has been an integral part of the team, both offensively and defensively. As he continues to grow, I believe that the future of the Thunder will be brighter.
