BASELINE

Synopsis

In basketball, the BASELINE defines the edge of the court—the boundary where plays can begin, reset, and take shape. In “BASELINE”, that idea extends beyond the game, tracing Oklahoma City Thunder players Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace, and Jalen Williams back to the high school gyms in Minnesota, Texas, and Arizona where their foundations were built. Through early footage and personal reflections, the film explores the work habits, expectations, and challenges that defined those formative years—moments that shaped them not only as players, but as people. It’s a look at how discipline, identity, and mindset took hold long before the NBA.
