Ron Holland

19-Year-Old ForwardF
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Holland was selected by the Pistons with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Holland's calling card is his defense, owning a high motor and exceptional athleticism while showcasing a quality handle that makes him an intriguing prospect at 18 years of age. He was one of the top players coming out of high school but partially fell under the radar with the G League Ignite due to a season-ending thumb injury suffered in January after appearing in just 14 games. If Holland can add a reliable three-point shot -- he connected on 24 percent of his attempts in the G League -- he could be a cornerstone player for the Pistons. In Summer League, he averaged 18.8 points and 1.0 threes on 41/24/65 shooting, 6.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks with 1.0 turnovers in 27.4 minutes. His immediate fit with the team is a bit murky. Detroit already has a relatively similar player in Ausar Thompson, who also can't shoot, and a lack of floor spacing was already a major issue for the team. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

From Duncanville, Texas, Holland was the Gatorade Player of the Year in 2022-23 en route to landing a spot on Team USA for the 2023 Nike Hoop Summit and being named a 2023 McDonald's All-American. He was a consensus five-star prospect and ESPN's No. 2 player in the class of 2023. Holland opted to forego college and played for the G League Ignite in 2023-24, but he made only 14 appearances before undergoing surgery to repair a tendon rupture in his right thumb. He's expected to make a full recovery and be healthy for the NBA's Summer League. Holland averaged 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.5 steals with 44.3/24.0/75.7 shooting splits during his brief G League action. At 6-foot-8, Holland has elite fluidity for his size. His jumper looks smooth, and he can pull up from anywhere on the court and get his shot off, but his shooting percentages need to improve. He's not a natural point guard, but he draws plenty of attention and is willing to find the open teammate. Defensively, Holland has all the tools, but he's a work in progress on both ends of the floor. Holland can develop into an elite three-level scorer and defensive player early in his career. His defensive prowess is reminiscent of Herbert Jones, but to reach his full potential he may need to sit on the bench for a few years like Jonathan Kuminga.

Notches 15 points
FDetroit Pistons
July 13, 2024
Holland logged 15 points (5-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks across 24 minutes during Saturday's 94-81 Summer League loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Holland offers a lot of long-term upside, but he'll have to compete for minutes with the likes of Tobias Harris, Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren in the frontcourt next season. The forward played for the G League Ignite in 2023-24, averaging 19.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.4 steals in 31.9 minutes across 29 appearances.
