Only from me seeing Marquette in the round of 32 and checking who they have and seeing this guy averages 7.8 assists in college (that is a lot) and watching his highlights for one game. Has a little driving prowess and eurostep (not near Gogi level though). Do you think he could translate to NBA. He does have size.

The advanced numbers further bolster the notion of Holmes’s growth as a shooter. His overall numbers on jump shots weren’t pretty either in Year One (17th percentile on jump shots, per Synergy) or Year Two (19th percentile), but there were some fascinating signals within that noise. Holmes ranked in the 26th percentile overall on catch-and-shoot attempts last year. However, he was already decent when unguarded (54th percentile), but the results were really poor when his shot was bothered (just the eighth percentile on guarded attempts).
That pattern has held up this year but with clear signs of improvement. Holmes ranks in the 89th percentile as a jump shooter and the 85th percentile on catch-and-shoot looks. He’s been slightly below-average when guarded (36th percentile), but lights-out when given space beyond the arc, ranking in the 93rd percentile on unguarded looks.

One of the biggest selling points of da Silva is his defensive impact. He’s incredibly reliable on the weak side, can switch nearly everything, and has fantastic fundamentals. Over the last three seasons, Colorado’s defensive rating has never ranked lower than 50th in the country (out of 362) when da Silva was on the court with this season being the worst at 98.8 (the previous two seasons were 95.2 (38th) and 94 (35th)). However, the disparity between when da Silva has been on the court compared to off the court has never been great. When da Silva is off the court, Colorado’s defensive rating jumps from 98.8 (50th) to 103.2 (122nd). Additionally, their net rating with him on the court of 26.4 plummets to -1.6 when he sits.
Da Silva’s defensive impact rarely shows up with his individual box score numbers, but it is more than present with the team’s numbers. As we can see below, da Silva is more than capable of playing sublime defense that doesn’t always generate steals or blocks. His near-perfect footwork allows him to stay attached to ball handlers to either force reckless shots or kill drives entirely. As a weak side defender, da Silva’s gap help is perfectly measured with annoying the ball handler while not overhelping to leave a shooter open, his rotations are timely and consistent, and his verticality creates turnovers and wild misses.
In the NBA, da Silva’s most likely role will be as a spot-up shooter and cutter. This season, da Silva ranks in the 94th percentile in spot-up scoring with 1.237 points per possession (PPP). He also ranks in the 82nd percentile shooting off the catch with 1.19 PPP while shooting 40.3% from three (48.1% when unguarded). Da Silva’s spot-up effectiveness isn’t a one-year fluke either, as last season, he scored 1.11 PPP spotting up (84th percentile) and 1.21 PPP shooting off the catch (85th percentile) while shooting 39.6% from three. Da Silva is rarely going to force shots, and his effectiveness, consistency, and comfort in finding open pockets on the perimeter make him a great outlet for primary creators who attract significant defensive attention.
