Should the San Antonio Spurs consider drafting G League Ignite small forward Ron Holland II? At just 18 years old, his game is still a bit raw, but standing at 6-foot-8 with a 6-foot-10 wingspan, an 8-foot-8 standing reach, and a 38-inch vertical leap, Holland is turning heads for all the right reasons.
Mocked as high as No. 1 overall before the last season, which saw him suiting up for the G League Ignite, his poor shooting from beyond the arc (24.0%) and high rate of turning the ball over and making bad fouls have not done his current draft standings any favors.
Currently projected to fall after the Spurs’ last lottery pick comes in at No. 8 overall, Holland would likely be on the board still — but does it make sense for San Antonio to gamble here?
The folks behind the “TSR Sports” YouTube channel recently took a closer look at just such a scenario. Check it out above!
