5 Up-and-coming NBA stars poised to make a big splash in 2024-2025 

1) Chet Holmgren

Chet Holmgren's first full year has come and gone. With that has come a vast amount of experience, from playing in some difficult regular-season games, solidifying the number one seed in the West, and even a deep run in the playoffs.

Holmgren averaged 16.5 points per game, along with 7.9 rebounds per game and 2.3 blocks per game. These are certainly some significant numbers for a rookie to post in his first go-round in the NBA. He also shot 53.0% from the field and 37% from three-point land.

Another fact that is of importance is the fact that Holmgren may slide to the power forward slot in the starting lineup after the Thunder acquired Isaiah Hartenstein. Hartenstein is a great veteran to have in the locker room as well as on the court and with him on the roster, Holmgren is going to have the chance to dominate this new position.

So don't be surprised to see dramatic increases in the stats listed above. It is going to be extremely exciting to see him in 2025 and I know fans can't wait to see just how good the Thunder are going to be coming off of the spectacular year they had just a season ago.
