Previous mock draft spot: No. 4
Pro Comparison: Cam Whitmore
With the Charlotte Hornets hitting big on Brandon Miller, they could now complement his shotmaking with Ron Holland’s explosiveness and rim pressure.
Once viewed as a No. 1 overall favorite, Holland may be on the board outside the top three, with concerns being raised over his shooting, turnovers and Ignite’s poor record. At 18 years old, he still managed to average 19.5 points in the G League, consistently producing off his open-floor speed, burst turning the corner, deep finishing bag and capable/streaky shotmaking.
With LaMelo Ball and Miller, Holland would be able to play more to his strengths as a high-energy attacking wing, as opposed to a higher-usage creator.
