Can RON HOLLAND make an immediate impact for the PISTONS? | 2024 NBA Draft | Yahoo Sports
well the fifth pick in the NBA draft is Ron Holland going to the Detroit Pistons and we know the Pistons need help yes team help me out is this is this help is this hurt what what are we feeling wow that’s all I can say wow wow this is this is the first shock pick I think of the night I think when you look at Detroit leading up to this this tonight we all thought it was going to be his g-league teammate modest buellis and here they’ve made a quick turn and drafted Ron Holland as kind of a heads scratcher because you look at what Detroit needs they need shooting and Ron Holland is not a great shooter at all he he averaged under 25% from three-point range a little turnover prone but what he will bring is scoring he’ll bring defense average two and a half steals in the G League I’m just very skeptical on the fit with Detroit in this one KP I’m I’m right there with you in terms of what they need with the shooting and other skill sets Detroit also is a team that lost 28 games in a row last season tying a league record so sometimes you just need a competitive spirit that you feel can transcend certain voids in a skill set and when I see Ron Holland I’m kind of reminded of Trevor orza a little bit where it’s a long rangy Wing who will fight who can still get stuff done maybe doesn’t stand out in a big way with one particular skill but can be a part of a championship type team and type culture so I can I can see that from Holland for the Pistons long term he’s 18 years old okay 18 years old a lot of upside and a lot lot of speed Jaden Ivy and him in the open court whoever is going to coach this team is going to try to force those turnovers so they can have that track meet out on the floor so this team is built for Speed and it’s built for a long-term project and Ron Holland makes sense from that from that perspective is he is a project 18 years old doesn’t have a three-point shot yet and you know G League Knight not so much of a a factory quite yet in terms of NBA products but Ron Holland is a serious athlete okay well Detroit hoping that they pick the right one and Ron Holland as the fifth overall pick in the NBA draft

Pistons taking Ls as usual smh 🤦🏻♂️
Where you got his scoring avg from, he is not 14+ points, but 20+.
Can he make an immediate impact for the Pistons? No. The Pistons are not so much a team as they are a collection of development prospects without rhyme or reason. Maybe Langdon makes a ton of moves and tries to build an actual team but there is not a clear path forward for the Pistons to take any sort of significant step forward next year. Maybe Holland develops a good NBA career but it definitely isn't going to be coming as an immediate impact in Detroit.
