The Oklahoma City Thunder are pairing Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein together in the front court, and Hartenstein explains how he can help the youngster.
As Isaiah Hartenstein arrives in Bricktown, he quickly earned his first victory as a member of the OKC Thunder: Winning the press conference in every way to send the Bricktown observers into a frenzy with each answer.
It is clear, the seven-footer will soon be a fan favorite, and as the NBA world is on the search for the next great nickname, perhaps his will be Steely Dan. Hartenstein is eager to do the dirty work and said as much when asked how his game compliments Chet Holmgren at Saturday's introductory press conference.
That is music to many people's ears after a season of watching Holmgren get battered and bruised playing in every game during the 2023-24 season as the lone true big man on the roster. While no one expects the two to be paired up on the floor together exclusively, the Thunder feel primed to run a double-big lineup more than the lowly two percent of the time they did a season ago.
