• Pistons' Ron Holland: Plays just 11 minutes

  4H ago • By RotoWire

  Holland contributed four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound across 11 minutes during Monday's 102-100 win over Toronto. Now that Ausar Thompson is back in the picture, minutes will be much tougher to come by for Holland. He was already a dicey fantasy option prior to Thompson's return, and he's now averaging just 5.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in 15.2 minutes per game this campaign.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Solid outing in start

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Holland produced 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 overtime loss to the Bucks. Holland made his first career start Wednesday and scored double-digit points for the second time this season. While the rookie guard came into the game shooting 91.7 percent from the free-throw line across his first 12 appearances, he missed two clutch free throws at the end of regulation that allowed the contest to head into overtime.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Limited again in loss

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Holland logged six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 14 minutes during Monday's 106-98 loss to the Heat. Holland played just 14 minutes off the bench, continuing his underwhelming start to the season. To this point, he has scored a grand total of just 21 points in four games, adding very little in terms of peripheral production. While there is a chance he steps into a larger role later in the season, managers simply can't hold him given his limited contributions. Even in deeper formats, there are likely better options available on waivers.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Headed to Detroit with fifth pick

  06/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Holland (thumb) was selected by the Pistons with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Holland's calling card is his defense, owning a high motor and exceptional athleticism while showcasing a quality handle that makes him an intriguing prospect at 18 years of age. He was one of the top players coming out of high school but partially fell under the radar with the G League Ignite due to a season-ending thumb injury suffered in January after appearing in just 14 games. The injury is expected to be fully healed in time for Summer League. If Holland can add a reliable three-point shot -- he connected on 24 percent of his attempts in the G League -- he could be a cornerstone player for the Pistons. Holland figures to fill in alongside Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren in the frontcourt as Detroit shoots for upside at No. 5 overall.
