He is a wild one, because out of the 4 guys I have made individual threads for I think his floor is the lowest.

My thought process with these 4 threads is assuming we have the #1 pick. I think these 4 guys are the most likely to be the pick.

Now if we fall to pick 4-7 then we probably need to create more threads, but I don't see much value in taking anyone other than these 4 guys with a top 2 pick IMO.

Measurements will be very interesting as will the workouts. I think he will rise quite a bit, or, alternatively, fall quite a bit.

I fear this dude must be dumb as a box of rocks. Maybe I find that out and get off him as a top guy, but the vast majority of draft analysts that watch primarily film and spreadsheet out stats seem way higher on him then draft guys with "sources". Strange vibes.

In terms of fit with the current team, I would probably take him #1. I think Topic is a slightly better prospect, but Holland pretty much checks all the boxes of what we need.

Melo and Miller are finesse players with good size and great shooting. I won't be mad if add another shooter, but in reality, that shouldn't be a deal breaker. We need a guy that change the game with his athleticism and physicality and that is what Holland does, he has the tools, motor to be a disruptive perimeter defender especially early in his career when we won't be expecting much from his offensively so him being aggressive and picking up fouls isn't the end of the world.

He averaged 19+ ppg in the Gleague this year while being very raw, his jump shot and handle are going to improve and he has some impressive passing flashes as a big wing averaging 3.3 apg per 40. Offensively I think he can turn into a Kuminga type of player down the line.

Castle and him have some similarities except Holland is 2-3 inches bigger and he has shown to be a much more aggressive offensive player. Holland is also 9 months younger. Holland had 44 dunks in 29 games Castle had 23 dunks in 34 games.
