When in doubt, go with the youngest, least-proven player on the roster.
For the Detroit Pistons, that’s Ron Holland, the fifth pick in a weak draft whose raw tools and frame suggest there’s superstar big-wing potential lurking within the rookie forward.
Holland has loads of rough edges, which you’d expect from a player who won’t turn 20 until next offseason. His jumper is oddly hitchy and produces some wildly errant misses, and he’s a good bet to log more turnovers than assists as a rookie. But, at 6’8″ with an explosive, attacking downhill game and the high-revving motor that augurs well for his defensive future, the guy who began 2023-24 at the top of many mock drafts also oozes upside.
Holland’s spectrum of possible outcomes is even wider, to the point that it wouldn’t register as a total shock if we have to start talking about him as Cade Cunningham’s best long-term running mate at some point.
