Thunder general manager Sam Presti defended Chet Holmgren after a disappointing playoff exit and pushed back against criticism aimed at Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander's foul‑drawing tactics. Holmgren struggled to showcase his full potential after returning from injury during the postseason.
Presti emphasized that the young center needs time to develop and that the team's success will improve as he gains experience. Meanwhile, Gilgeous‑Alexander has faced repeated accusations of deliberately drawing fouls to slow the game.
Presti argued that such tactics do not undermine the player's natural style and called for stricter defensive discipline. Thunder fans believe the manager's remarks will boost morale and anticipate a stronger performance in the upcoming games.
