Bleacher Report Draft Expert Jonathan Wasserman's Scouting Report

Player: Ron Holland

Position: SF

Height: 6'8"

Pro Comparison: Cam Whitmore

Scouting Report: Holland's game is all about using his speed and burst to attack open floor, closeouts and ball screens. His size and quickness also create encouraging defensive potential against guards and wings. His trajectory will ultimately come down to how well he develops his self-creation skills and shooting consistency, both of which yielded mixed results in the G League.

Coming out of Duncanville High School last year, Holland was a 5-star prospect and No. 1 recruit in the country before deciding to sign with the G League Ignite.

Holland was a standout on the Ignite squad. He averaged a team-high 18.5 points and ranked second with 6.7 rebounds per game in 15 appearances. His season was cut short due to a thumb injury that he didn't want to risk doing further damage to.

The 18-year-old only made 23.9 percent of his three-point attempts with the Ignite. If Holland can develop his skills as an outside shooter, he could end up being the steal of the draft because of his size and speed allow him to impact the game on both ends of the court.
