I love the offense and rim protection from Holmes, but there are some questions that come up for me. I don’t have an example of a guy like him succeeding in the nba. Maybe a less long naz Reid? I don’t think he can be the only big on a team. He will have to play next to another big to be good, and I’m not sure if the team drafting him will have multiple true centers available. Him succeeding is dependent on where he gets drafted

Can score the ball at will. Can stretch the floor and score with face ups or backing people down. His skinny frame makes him a poor defender. I value that a lot in a center so I can’t justify having him too high.

(PF/C - HT: 6’9” - WING: 7’0” - WT: 220 - A: 21)

- Smallish stretch 5 who is a smart offensive player
- Can shoot well from 3 on low volume
- Decent handle, mid post game
- Good screener and passer, but nothing special
- Poor rebounder. He boxes out but doesn’t go get the ball and gives up tons of OREBs. This will hold him back
- Fine defender, actually better on the perimeter than the post, but his in between size is tough. Eh defender in PnR, in between spaces

Range: 13-30, Late lottery - late first

3 années à la petite fac de Dayton, Holmes est un gros scoreur au poste de pivot, même si sa taille et son manque de dissuasion l'obligeront peut-être à jouer ailier-fort au plus haut niveau. Cette saison, sa côte a augmenté à mesure qu'il montrait une capacité, jusque là insoupçonnée, à tirer à 3pts. Adroit dans des finitions près du cercle, voire même sur fadeaways, il a clairement de quoi faire une carrière honorable en NBA.

GSW: PF

Highs: can shoot the three, pretty good at free throws for his height, can go inside with length and leg strength, can assist, hustler rebounder, not a bad defender

Lows: needs to get stronger to become an elite defender to bigger guys in the NBA, also to make sure to know where to have to ball to not get stripped easily
