The Gonzaga Bulldogs lost a gem in Jalen Suggs this offseason after he declared for the NBA. But they made up for his loss with the commitment of top prospect, Chet Holmgren. Suggs was influential in bringing over Holmgren, who is his childhood friend and teammate. The Minnehaha Academy duo is currently back in their hometown of Minnesota and are training together once again. Suggs is preparing for the NBA while Holmgren is preparing to enter college basketball. In a recent interview, Suggs spoke about why he loves to workout with Holmgren. He said, “We don’t like to do a lot of things outside of our circle. It’s just always been the people we’ve ever been around since we’ve been kids. So, to be able to go in the gym together and just get all our stuff done, work together… Whether it’s ones or it’s just shooting competitions, or just pushing each other, motivating each other.” “But being able to have someone in a gym with you, you know, you know, high skill level, high competitors as well, that’s awesome.” WILL CHET HOLMGREN HAVE SIMILAR SUCCESS AS JALEN SUGGS AT GONZAGA BULLDOGS? After entering the 2020-21 NCAA basketball season as a promising player, Suggs [https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/jalen-suggs-1.html] left as one of the best. Prior to the tournament, he was an important player, but during the tournament he showed how crucial he is to their success. When he hit that game winner against the UCLA Bruins, he became part of Gonzaga [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/college-basketball/gonzaga-bulldogs/] history. Despite not winning the title with Gonzaga, he leaves as a school hero. So Holmgren has a lot to do to follow in the footsteps of his close friend. But he is not short on talent. He comes in as the number one ranked prospect in high school right now, becoming the Zags’ highest ranked recruit. The previous highest was Suggs. Chet’s main goal will be to deliver an NCAA championship. The team has come close multiple times in recent years but the title continues to elude them. Gonzaga fans would have loved to see them team up once again in a Bulldogs uniform, but sadly that is not happening. It will be interesting to see how Holmgren fits into the Zags system and how coach Mark Few gets the best out of him.

<h2>Chet Holmgren's Net Worth 2023</h2>
Since bursting into the scene as a college basketball star, Chet Holmgren has been one of the richest youngsters. With a reported net worth of around $3 million in 2023, his numbers are bound to rise alongside his NBA career. He signed a 4-year $44.89 million contract with the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oklahoma City Thunder</a> last season. In this campaign alone, he is set to earn around $10.39 million in salaries from the franchise. The 21-year-old is currently under the representation of Carlos Fleming from WME Sports.
<h2>Chet Holmgren's Early Life</h2>
Born in a Minnesota household, he picked up the game of basketball at an early age. Under the influence of his father, Chet developed his game in Minneapolis while attending the Minnehaha Academy. Sharing the court there with fellow NBA star Jalen Suggs, he became a 6'9 sensation in his high school days. His growth became rapid in that period as by the senior year Holmgren was averaging  21 points and 12.3 rebounds. In that year, he became the most lucrative prospect in the nation as he led his team to their fourth state championship. His endeavors earned him Mr. Basketball USA and Gatorade National Player of the Year, amongst others.

This resulted in about 30 scholarship offers from various college programs around the country. He reportedly became the number-one player in the 2021 class. Chet made up his mind soon after as he joined Gonzaga, following Jalen's pathway. He turned his choice into the right one, with a record-breaking start to his new life. The 7'1 became the first player to register ten points, ten rebounds, five assists, and five blocks in his debut in 25 years. In his one year there, he also earned the title of the West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year. In the following year, he decided to enter the draft, marking a new beginning in his journey.
<h2>Chet Holmgren's Family and Personal Life</h2>
Chet's father, Dave Holmgren, was a former college basketball player. He represented Minnesota Golden Gophers in 57 games from 1984 to 1988. The 7'0 parent helped the youngster train from a young age. The son thus followed in the footsteps of his father's basketball journey. He further enhanced and polished his skill sets to become a nationwide star. His mother, Sarah, also played a pivotal part in his development from a young age. Despite keeping his personal life private, according to reports, the OKC star has two sisters.
<h2>Chet Holmgren's <b>NBA career</b></h2>
After announcing his decision to enter the 2022 NBA draft, he became a top prospect. The Thunder wasted no time as they selected him as the second-overall pick. He became the highest-ever draft pick out of both Gonzaga and the state of Minnesota. He featured in the Summer League following this, where he broke the record for most blocks in a single match. His NBA debut, though, soon came to a halt as he suffered from a Lisfranc injury, keeping him out for the entire season. So, he is yet to feature in an NBA game representing the city of Oklahoma.

Mandatory Credit: Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Jalen Suggs is a top prospect from the 2021 NBA Draft. He is one of the best point guards from his class and is likely to be a top 5 pick in the draft.

Suggs started his journey with Minnehaha Academy in Minnesota. He played AAU basketball for the Grassroots Sizzle which is in his hometown of Saint Paul. He excelled in both basketball and football, which is why along with a lot of basketball offers, he also had a few football offers from teams like UGA.

His father is Larry Suggs, who was his first basketball coach, and his mother is Molly Manley. He is currently dating Hailey Van Lith, who also played basketball.
<h2>Jalen Suggs Stats</h2>
Suggs solidified his status as a future star following his remarkable freshman season with the Gonzaga Bulldogs.

In his sole season in college, Suggs played in 30 games missing just one game out of the 2020-21 season. He averaged <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/jalen-suggs-1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">14.4 points</a>, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game.

[caption id="attachment_503176" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-503176" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210104214038/2020-12-26T232323Z_117732135_MT1USATODAY15362795_RTRMADP_3_NCAA-BASKETBALL-GONZAGA-AT-VIRGINIA.jpg" alt="Gonzaga Bulldogs' Jalen Suggs" width="1920" height="1474" /> Dec 26, 2020; Fort Worth, Texas, USA; Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Jalen Suggs (1) dribbles during the second half against the Virginia Cavaliers at Dickies Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Despite being a slasher, Suggs still averaged 3.5 attempts per game from deep, while shooting 33%. That is still respectable on the college level. His field goal percentage was impressive, with him averaging 50% on 10.3 attempts per game. Finally, Suggs shot 75% from the free throw line on 3.8 attempts per game.
<h2>Jalen Suggs Net Worth</h2>
Although he has not signed a professional contract yet, Suggs is reportedly worth around <a href="https://famousbirthdays.io/jalen-suggs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$1.5 million</a> and this number will only increase once he is drafted. Suggs is likely to be picked with the #4 or the #5 pick, which means he could earn around <a href="https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/info/rookie_scale" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$5 million</a> from his rookie contract.
<h2>Jalen Suggs Scouting Report</h2>
Suggs is the second best point guard in the draft class right now, just behind Cade Cunningham. He is a true floor general, and he was at the heart of the Gonzaga offense. He is an unselfish point guard, and that is how he gets the best out of his teammates.

Suggs is known for his athleticism, and has the ability to blitz past defenders. He combines his agility and his ball handling to get his opponents in knots. This has helped him become an elite slasher, who can finish through contact.

Standing at 6'4, Suggs is taller than the average point guard. That gives him an advantage over his matchup, and he uses that well on defense. He is a persistent defender who combines grit and his intellect.

[caption id="attachment_610343" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-610343" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210407214509/2021-04-06T024621Z_655080464_MT1USATODAY15852308_RTRMADP_3_NCAA-BASKETBALL-FINAL-FOUR-BAYLOR-VS-GONZAGA.jpg" alt="Gonzaga Bulldogs point guard Jalen Suggs" width="1920" height="1280" /> Apr 5, 2021; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Jalen Suggs (1) reacts after play during the second half against the Baylor Bears in the national championship game during the Final Four of the 2021 NCAA Tournament at Lucas Oil Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Although 33% from deep isn't bad at the college level, Suggs' shooting is the only major weakness in his game. If he can improve that along with his shot selection, he can be a promising combo guard in the NBA.
