On the latest episode of The Odd Couple, Broussard discussed Chet Holmgren and stated, “I would love to see this kid become a superstar for many reasons. One is that he’s got a unique game. I mean, for as much as we’ve seen from Kevin Durant, as much as we’ve seen him before him, Dirk Nowitzki, a 7-footer shooting threes and all that, we haven’t seen a 7-footer handle it like him, yet be a force at the rim blocking shots.

” It would be exciting because of the way he plays if he became a truly great player. … And then I said it before I’d love to see a white American star, superstar.”

Holmgren will have plenty of competitors, including Auburn freshman Jabari Smith Jr. and Duke Blue Devils freshman Paolo Banchero. So why should Orlando Magic look particularly toward the former player to add to incredible power in their roster? Because he would give the Magic a dangerous rim-protecting asset with the ability to turn into a unique two-way weapon. Talking about the statistics, during his freshman year, Chet Holmgren averaged 14.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game while shooting 60.7%.
