The Detroit Pistons were rumored to be interested in trading down from No. 5 in the NBA Draft as teams were looking to position themselves to take big man Donovan Clingan. Instead, the team kept the pick and surprised with the selection of forward Ron Holland.
Holland averaged 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.5 steals with the G League Ignite. He shot just 44% overall including just 24% from 3 and 76% from the free-throw line.
He has a 6-foot-11 wingspan, and looks like the kind of wing Trajan Langdon loved in New Orleans. The question, of course, is how much he can shoot, especially as he joins a team bereft of shooting.
