Kofi gets an active ball steal on Holmgren
That is about all he has done. But its early.
2 rebounds and a steal in 《3min...ok ho hum

Best thing so far for Kofi in this game is Tacko Fall hasn't been any good

Yup, Holmgren was tearing him apart.
Once teams realize how to play him, I think he will fade to average...I get the "unicorn" but he will get rough ed as a rookie..and NBA no calls will come into play. He will thrive in summer league though
I know its just summer league but it's crazy to me a team passed on Chet.

Chet??
Holmgren...not Frazier
One half of the first summer league game does not a season make but Kofi has been nondescript
Have to agree. It just looks like there's no place for a player like him. Feeding the post is the last thing that they're looking to do.
OKC was absolutely hunting him the last time he was in. Still seems like he's doing some good things. His +/- looks decent compared to a lot of others.
Kofi with a nice bucket there
Kofi finally realized he’s got 100 pounds on Chet
Kofi needs to be more aggressive and play with some edge. He will make a living dunking, rebounding. Don’t play soft!

If you asked a casual basketball fan which was a top 2 pick and which was an undrafted free agent, I doubt many would pick correctly.

But if casual fans watch about every other encounter between chet and Kofi, they probably guess correctly
Not many of chet's points were over Kofi. But,...Chet is an impressive player. He was hot...but had 3 fouls in 23 min. OKC was the much better summer league "team" and better coached.
And then when you tell a casual basketball fan to watch the rest of the game where Holmgren was a freak of nature on both ends they would pick correctly.
That was my takeaway, he looked incredibly tentative
Until his post dribbling gets better he can't fully utilize this power. He's like a mack truck with a wobbly wheel. Once he gets comfortably handling the ball then he can leverage his l power more effectively. Then also be able to pass out of the double team with more ease.
Ask Scottie if Reinsdorf ever reworks contracts
