4. Chet Holmgren, C, Oklahoma City Thunder

Chet Holmgren has been a highly touted prospect since early in high school, especially in the video that went viral where he crossed Steph Curry, which was amazing.

We have never seen a player listed at 7-foot-1 with the handles of a guard like Holmgren. We have seen him play in his first couple of games, and his talent is obvious. He has great handles and incredible defense, but we need to see him against more dominant big men because he seemed to struggle in college against the stronger bigs.

Holmgren will be a household name quickly if he isn’t already. He could be a menace for what the Oklahoma City Thunder are building.
