Holland s summer league performance was outstanding, contributing 28 points and 11 rebounds to show progress

On July 12, in the NBA Summer League, the Detroit Pistons beat the New York Knicks 104-86. The Knicks had Japanese player Madagata in the roster of the summer league this time. He only played for 2 minutes without scoring. The highest highlight of the game was Ron Holland, the 2024 No. 5 pick, who has been the only one since the opening.

Holland made 2 of 3 shots and scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals in the first quarter of this game. After hitting a high mid-range position, it was felt that his shooting confidence had improved a lot. In this game, Holland also revealed his "death eye".

In this game, many core players of the Pistons came to watch the game - Cunningham, Durham, Osal, Harris, etc. Holland, whose bare feet are only 1.995 meters, has a back-pressed patch. He successfully made the patch under the Knicks' double-team, which was equivalent to directly blocking the two of them. This physical talent is really explosive.

Then Cunningham and Durham stood up to celebrate with Holland, and Durham even directly hit Holland's chest. Holland's personal performance was so outstanding.

Holland only played 28 minutes in the whole game, 8 of 12 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers, 8 of 13 free throws, scored 28 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 66.7%, 80% of three-point shooting percentage, 79% of real shooting percentage, plus or negative value +16.

The Pistons also posted Holland's data in this game to like him. Holland has entered the Pistons rotation in the 24-25 season, playing 81 regular season games, averaging 15.7 minutes per game, scoring 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.6 steals, and 0.21 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 47.4%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 23.8%. His weakest link is shooting, but this summer league allows people to see huge progress in shooting.

I believe Holland will get more playing time in the new season. After all, Schroeder and Hardaway Jr. have left Motor City, and the team needs more people the most to bear the burden of scoring.
