The Oklahoma City Thunder saw Chet Holmgren step in as a rookie and completely overhaul their defense. Jalen Williams explained how Holmgren has been most impactful.

At practice on Thursday, the media was allowed to talk with Aaron Wiggins, Jalen Williams and Mark Daigneault following their on-court work. It is no secret that Holmgren has been a key cog of the Thunder's top-five defense. His rim protection strikes fear into foes, deters drivers and his mobility allows him to switch or close out to perimeter threats.
His former 2022 Lottery Pick put it best, Holmgren is the missing piece to Oklahoma City's defensive success.
