Is Ron Holland Still a Top Prospect? | First Look

Despite a slow start to the GLeague season and Ignite's toughest season yet, Ron Holland has continued to be one of the best prospects in the 2024 class. An athletic wing with a high motor, dynamic defensive playmaking upside and the potential to create more efficiently as time goes on remains high on my board.

[@UsualCase]

I respect a man who subtly goes out of his way to throw shade at Perk.

[@hectorwatt9712]

Perk disrespect is always tolerated

[@johndavis9321]

Lol y'all some haters.... But I definitely don't rock wit perk tho

[@windowman9665]

Your tales are the best. We appreciate the grind

[@planetpoog]

seems like a prospect where you kinda gotta read between the lines, which I'm glad you alluded to. I think he has all the base traits that you'd want and although their careers aren't the same, you could almost compare his stock to that of Shaedon Sharpe. Both were hugely praised from their senior year film but struggled to show that in their draft year... Both excellent athletes with high motors to tap into who just seem to do enough of everything to garner praise. But they also both have huge risk factors tied to them... Could be another sort of steal for a team in the middle lotto

[@cameronbolden5064]

Shaedon is a elite athlete while Holland is a very good one with a elite motor.

[@planetpoog]

@@cameronbolden5064 yeah very true. I just think we could see a very similar thing happen where a team in mid lotto takes ron, people question it, then he starts to show the league why they took the chance. It really comes down to where he lands and how much opportunities he’s given to develop

[@KingJaffeJoffer]

Shaedon Sharpe didn't play basketball in his pre-NBA year.

[@planetpoog]

@@KingJaffeJoffer yeah that’s why I said their careers aren’t the same. but the stock projections have had similar trajectories and they have similar traits

[@KingJaffeJoffer]

@@planetpoog i don't think they're rated the same athletically. Half of Sharpe's appeal was that he'd be a tier one otherworldly athlete from day one. Holland never put together the kind of 3 level scoring + elite run/jump ability on filmt hat Sharpe did his last season playing in the EYBL. That circuit is the only reason he was drafted so high. If Holland was that kind of athlete he might be a lock for #1.

[@PickpocketJones]

Still a top 5 prospect for me, the draft community has unfair with him compared to other prospects. If Holland got the free pass that Castle does among the draft community they'd probably still consider him the favorite for 1st overall.

[@hectorwatt9712]

Up to this point the Ignite has been a failure, their prospects have consistently disappointed at the next level

[@sickopain2474]

jonathan kuminga

[@VocalChainsStudio]

Scoot improved a lot as the year went on.

[@johnlalawmpuia5929]

how about hunter Dickson and Ryan karlkbanner in center position, I think they are one of the best and they deserved a spot in upcoming 2024 draft. There are also many good player in different positions.

[@LuxembourgBasketball]

We hereeeee

[@jordan_ras]

love the channel

[@CoryWillis]

Is the upside just Wiggins at best?

[@therockneverstops8261]

Wiggins is not a good comp, maybe a better shooting Jonathan Kuminga. His motor separates him from Wiggins but Wiggins’ wingspan gives him more positional versatility. Think a suped-up Marcus Morris with more range and elite athleticism.

[@jonkill1650]

Please do Dalton Knecht next!

[@mysteryfollowedbylogic]

Looks like Jeff Green

[@MatthewMedina-b7l]

Andrew Wiggins with a motor? Would love to see him fall to Orlando. Suggs/AB/Cole/Jett/Holland/Franz at the guard and Wings spots??? With Paolo/Wendell/JI/MoeSwag?? I like it. If you slide him into a role of defend, Attack close outs, transition and hit open 3’s I think he can excel. Don’t ask him to be a primary or even secondary ball handler.

[@tideaaronfox]

bro tryna add another non shooter to orlando

[@MatthewMedina-b7l]

@@tideaaronfox Suggs can shoot. Jett Howard in theory can shoot. The Magic can sign shooters in the offseason. I think he has extremely high upside. The Magic aren’t winning a title in the next 3-5 years anyways. Just keep adding talent. Would love for Orlando to move up and take him, Castle or Shepherd. Shepherd being the ideal pick. I also think Holland will eventually be able to shoot.

[@EazyBucketz]

I just question his ability to score in the half court against true NBA level defenders and athletes. Could severely limit his offense imo.

[@BobbyTurk42]

Do Trey Alexander 😊❤

[@blablablaa14]

Where ever Memphis ends up. This is the guy they've been waiting for at SF. I don't see the Pistons (heavy at guard and center) going for anyone other than Holland too. The potential defensively is massive and offensively in transition he will be deadly. Wings are too important in the NBA to pass on a guy showing this much promise at 19 years old

[@davionbrown8302]

No the fuck hes not we have gg jackson and vince williams jr we need a center or back up pg

[@blablablaa14]

Those guys are cute but they need a SF that can defend the best wings. They need an OG Onnanoby type guy. They have centers they are just hurt, they have Marcus Smart to play backup PG when Ja needs a break@@davionbrown8302

[@BrianO109]

I think he should be the #1 pick

[@andrewmckinney2231]

Yes

[@PetrosMegenta]

Make a scouting report for matas buzelis

[@FairXchange227]

Corey Brewer/Josh Jackson vibes

[@33_milly93]

Considering the lack of upside guys in the class, I don’t see a valid argument for him outside the top 5

[@antoniomarcoscostadossantos]

Scoot, Sharpe, Holland, DaRon Holmes, Ivisic ok. Go Blazers!

[@indeepbullshit3589]

Josh jackson with a more fluid jumpshot but not yet reliable. His motor will be his biggest strength and his work ethic.

[@Javi-xb2gg]

Matas Buzelis for first look

[@Andrewchou0613]

He plays kinda like Josh Jackson, which is not a good thing

[@jakebushlack]

Derrick Jones Jr that could end up Iguodala-ish?

[@blablablaa14]

More like OG if anything

[@therockneverstops8261]

He’s going to look great in workouts and remain top 3. He has the positional size, athleticism, and skill that is elite at such a young age he projects as a starting NBA level player anywhere you draft him.

[@daken628]

I prefer Buzelis. Now Holand is injured, ignite is playing better. I recon Holand has the worst plus minus off the league

[@PetrosMegenta]

Second

[@FabulousResults]

He's not as athletic as Scoot was, and Ron's a worse shooter. He has no playmaking upside to make up for those deficiencies. I think he will struggle to score against NBA defenses unless it's in transition. All those things combined mean that he is definitively out of my top 5.

[@lf2856]

Wtf are you talking about 😂
