Chet Holmgren's health is a significant concern when considering his earnings over the next five to six years.

After averaging more than 25 points per game during his senior season (2018-19) and being named the Chandler Unified School District Player of the Year, Williams committed to play college basketball at Santa Clara, where he starred for three seasons before being selected with the 12th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft by the Thunder.
