NBA lottery teams, with the exception of very few, are looking for one thing only, and that’s a potential superstar to bring them out of the bottom of the league and back into contention. Finding a player like that is a lot easier in some drafts than others. Last year, for example, the Spurs didn’t have to try all that hard to find their future superstar. This year, however, things are a bit more complicated. Even at the top end, there’s no prospect that’s a sure bet. So you go back to things that have indicated stardom in the past to try to determine who could be next. Youth, athleticism, scoring production, and shot creation are just a few of those premium traits, and when you take a look at Ron Holland, he fits those standards to a T. An incredibly young and athletic prospect out of the G League Ignite, Holland’s season didn’t go how he had planned with the Ignite, but amidst all of that chaos, he quietly put together one of the most productive seasons in the history of the G League Ignite’s prospects, after an extremely productive high school career. Holland has a lot of what you want to see in an NBA prospect, but has a number of question marks as well. So today, we’re gonna take a look at the pros of his game, the cons, and what level he could potentially reach as an NBA player, so with all that, let’s get into it.

Welcome to the channel! Over my life, I have developed a passion for diving deep into the stats, history, and play styles of various basketball players and teams, and in my opinion no better way to get those ideas out there than through rankings, comparisons and tier lists.

I tend to discuss detailed breakdowns of individual players' strengths and weaknesses, their historical achievements, and their current performance on the court, to determine where they rank in the list in question.

The tier lists are carefully crafted to reflect the latest trends and developments in the league, and I always stay up to date with the latest news and analysis.

    I lovvvvvvvve Ron Holland as a prospect!! Langdon just have to continue to build this roster to help Cade
  • @bobbyohalterego4102
    There was once a time when he was the consensus. Number one overall for this draft.
  • @kdawg6185
    You were spot on with this video. I love everything about Ron Holland EXCEPT for his shooting, like you said, why have a guy on the court if he can't shoot? I'm hoping he falls to my OKC Thunder, but I don't want to see another Josh Giddey situation...having a good player that can't shoot. Keep up the good work!
  • @smoothhoops3739
    I was low on Holland but this video def opened my eyes. He has a top 3 ceiling in this draft and that counts for something. If he goes to a good development program he can star in 3+ years
  • @samerfahmy940
    Great breakdown. Holland has star potential and if he works hard, has a good chance to get there.
  • @VietnamvetOG
    You were on point with this one, just looking at his improvements from high school (9-12) months really shows a lot. Ron often plays at two speeds but once he understands and incorporates slow pace into his game as well as know when and where his shots will come in the game he will improve as a three point shooter. He has intangibles like competitiveness which makes him the dark horse for sure
  • @matthewkoleba5327
    good analysis and great prediction, one thing you didn’t really talk about though was his defense
  • @SonicSpeed440
    Really like this channel. Concise, organized and organic thoughts on these prospects.
  • @aspleen1102
    Just discovered you channel today... And even if I don't agree with you on his star potential, I might say you make plenty fair and unbiased points
