Chet Holmgren

It didn’t happen immediately for Gonzaga’s stud freshman. He didn’t wow us in November and December. But he’s hitting his stride now, and so is Gonzaga. The 7-foot phenom had one of the more ridiculous stat lines you will see in Saturday’s 33-point pasting of BYU: 20 points, 17 rebounds, six assists and five blocks. That came after the projected top-three NBA draft pick went for 23 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks in a rout of San Diego. He has reached double figures in eight straight games, and the Zags have won 12 in a row by an average of 29.3 points.
