Pistons' Ron Holland: Pops with 12 points off bench
Rotowire
Holland amassed 12 points (4-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals over 17 minutes during Monday's 115-103 win over the Lakers.
This was Holland's best performance of his rookie season as he reached double figures for the first time. It wasn't all good news, however, as he missed all five of his three-point attempts and is now shooting 1-for-16 from beyond the arc through eight games. The No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft is still pretty far off the fantasy radar in most formats.

Pistons' Ron Holland: Limited again in loss
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
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.
