The Thunder selected Holmgren out of Gonzaga with the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft in June. The lanky center averaged 12.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.0 blocks across three games at the Las Vegas Summer League.

The Pro-Am game also featured NBA All-Stars LeBron James, Jayson Tatum and Dejounte Murray, as well as fellow rookies Paolo Banchero and Tari Eason.
