Maybe they didn't get him right the first time? or he's still growing being only 18.. The NBA really has a problem with listing heights 😂 Bronny was 6'3 even 6'4 sometimes now he's 6'1 😂
@Cujobob4 ай бұрын
I believe Holland is 6’6” and a half. That puts him around the same height as Cade. Prospects are often listed with exaggerated metrics to boost their profile. The facts eventually come out, but people already have a buzz going so it doesn’t matter by that point. The narrative about Cade was always that he was 6’8” and it was barely discussed when it came out he was smaller.
@eddavis9163 ай бұрын
The potential Cade, Ivey, Ausar, Holland and Duren has is crazy. Hopefully they all reach it together in Detroit
@Sportivations3 ай бұрын
I agree! That defense will be scary, if they can all find their roles offensively and have enough spacing, Detroit might improve a lot this season, at least get more W's than last year for sure
@lurking0death3 ай бұрын
Duren is too short to be a starting center on an elite team. It's a bald fact. Pistons are going to have to find a seven foot, or better, center who can offset the really tall centers now in the league.
@lurking0death3 ай бұрын
Ask this in 3-4 years. He is just a kid. It's a little early to tell what kind of NBA player he wil eventually be. Good draft choice, though, I think. Good gamble. As Jerry West said, as a GM you are wrong 50% of the time even if you are GM of an elite franchise. It's just the way it is. I wish Ron Holland a lot of luck and good health.
@Sportivations3 ай бұрын
We can still draw a few comps based on his profile! I think he can be a great player if he finds way to improve his shooting

I can't take a guy that can't shoot 30% from 3 or the field in the top 5. I hope he works out, I hope it works out for him. Maybe he just had a bad shooting season and it was a one off but being sub 30% from both 3-point range and the field is crazy. He can get to the rim but so can everyone in the NBA just about. He might go right back to the G league. Also, the pistons needed a center or a shooter. Why they took him i have no idea. I would have just traded the pick and moved on.

There are reasons players with a 30+ 3pt percentage are passed around from team to team. Someday people will understand there's a lot more to the game of basketball than a 3pt shot. Trajan Langdon seems to be one of those people..good for him!

Horrible pick by the Pistons. Another non shooter, idk why I thought Langdon would be able to do anything right. This team is doomed. Gores needs to sell the team and the team needs to move somewhere else. Nobody cares how atchletic he is, we have plenty of athletes. We need shooting, and this guy will NEVER be a shooter.

@@Sportivations This is just my opinion, but shooting is something that isn't super coachable. I know supposedly Fred Vinson is a wizard and got Herb Jones shooting well, but that's an anomaly for the most part. Also, Herb Jones was already a 30% shooter in college. You either can shoot, or you can't typically. It's extremely rare for guys who can't shoot to develop into a serviceable shooter in the NBA
