Ron Holland Could Still be the Top Pick | 2024 NBA Draft

[@roslolian11]

Holland reminds me of Cam Whitmore with a lot better hustle but no jumpshot. I think his athleticism and hustle means he wont be a total bust but if he cant develop at least a mid range J his ceiling will just be a role player.

[@px12]

Heard others say the stocks are inflated from more gambling/high-risk behavior on defense, did you see that in the film? What's his outlook as an off-ball player at the next level? Please do Matas Buzelis next. Cheers!

[@derek-parker]

Definitely some gambling, but that’s true for lots of players - I think he can lock in well enough defensively overall. Off-ball isn’t going to be pretty for awhile, but I really think his shooting will come around somewhat. Will be a good slasher and transition threat.

[@raywright8479]

I agree with your assessment at the end. I can be talked out of having him top 3-5, but after that, I really think we're going to look back and wonder wtf NBA teams were thinking taking others over him. At worst he's a high-impact defender who can slash a bit off the bench. But I think he can be a very good team's best POA defender and third option if he puts it all together. His fit does matter a lot, but I think the best place for him to land out of realistic scenarios would be Charlotte. He would compliment a healthy LaMelo and Miller very well IMO.

[@dellblackman4565]

I want to see him with Portland, forming a trio with Scoot, and Sharpe!

[@SilentGhostSG]

he'd be a phenomenal fit on the Spurs, the way they teach the game and polish out raw, defensive prospects like Dejounte Murray and Kawhi bodes well if they get their hands on him at pick 4 or 8.

[@bigmantok1]

Yes sir we get him with the 4th Pick and Dalton Knecht with the 8th Pick

[@JJ-od4jm]

great video Derek love Holland you covered him perfectly. I would personally love to see him call to our Thunder

[@itisnottaken4444]

San Antonio should know a thing or two about drafting a high energy wing with a developing jump shot. Seems perfect for their system

[@colin1818]

"Perfect" for their system would be a guy that actually had a jump shot now. That said, he might be a good project for them. Especially considering they have two picks in the top 8 and could easily pair him with another rookie that covers the skills he lacks.

[@gibsongb8938]

Welcome to Detroit Ron!

[@CarloBarlo69]

He’s still so young. The decision making is going to be rough, and the shooting needs a ton of work. But if either of those 2 hit for him, he’ll be good. The build, athleticism, and defense is there!

[@reesethachosen1]

I’m sorry but I don’t see what yall see. , he can definitely shoot

[@EversGreen-fy4vs]

He still too young unless u a team that run or looking to run id say no. No jumper scares me but defensively it cud work

[@davidhodgin8900]

Do Reed Sheppard!! Thanks

[@crannymac5627]

Please do one on Tidjane Salaun!! Great video!

[@scottmuir6127]

Why is he not as high as as Stephon Castle? Is it because offensively he’s a scorer but not a 3 point threat or ball handler?

[@derek-parker]

I personally have him ranked over Castle.

[@stanleed.harold5457]

The championship run, especially with UConn helps Castle. Castle played with several older NBA level players. IMO Holland > Castle

[@VanIyke]

He has everything except one area: His basketball IQ. Just don't know about that. And he has tunnel vision as he nears the oaint. Giving me that Houstons Tari Eason vibe

[@charlescohen6140]

A wide open draft set up for patient lower teams or the Rockets and, of course, Sam Presti. Sam might be looking ahead to 2025 by bundling his picks.

[@charlescohen6140]

He is very quick and tall when compared to the Ky kids who are terrific. He can be a decent shooter and defender in a mediocre draft. The trouble with perennial lottery teams is they don’t want to look bad in taking a high picks.

[@charlescohen6140]

Terrible grammar. I meant they don’t want to look bad if the gamble doesn’t work out. Think MJP Jr and Cam Whitmore. If Clingan can shoot outside as his recent video shows he could be the steal. Picture him next to Chet with Chet roaming around. Sam will do right.

[@alexadams7859]

Great video. I really enjoy your Heat check videos and the break downs

[@derek-parker]

Thanks!

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@@derek-parker his draft position may vary, it really depends on if someone else moves up from march madness. but his position will depend on the combine since he is done for the season.

[@Loganandvintagejosnumber1h8r]

@@giovanni-ed7zqyou know nothing, stop talking

[@leedavis9367]

What about 3 point shooting

[@Kenny-bj2zq]

I don't think anyone touches him in the top 5 his shot needs a lot of work and his 3 ball is terrible add that he doesn't have great court vision and I think he probably 6 to 12 range. I do like his athleticism and he is a very good defender and you make a good point about his age but unfortunately I don't think his measurements are going to be that great for a SF I think he is 6'5 to 6'6

[@Yoodoooo]

😂😂 6-6 6-7 sf is small when kawhi jimmy butler are the same size this kid should be the top pick easy especially with how young he is the draft experts have become blind what made Anthony Edward’s the top pick he couldn’t shoot either it was his POTENTIAL Holland has the same kind of

[@kingarthurworld9162]

@@Yoodoooo right they expect every wing player to shoot now 🤣

[@justinalley3399]

Rob Dillingham next pls

[@derek-parker]

Definitely coming up soon

[@charlescohen6140]

An OKC fan. It’s weird to consider that Ousmane Dieng at 6’10 and just 20 would go top 5 in this draft, and he is still not in the Thunder rotation. But next year he likely will be.
