There have been a few places that have Holland top 5 still. I get it for sure. Ware I just worry he is one of those big guys that plays basketball because he's big and not really super in love with the game and will struggle with motivation.

For a few years I've felt alone in liking Caleb Love (North Carolina and now Arizona). He can score, rebound, drive, defend, and set up others. He is 6'4 205lbs. He stepped up in most big games. I am surprised he has never gotten much draft run during his college career. I think I'd rather have him on the end of out bench than a few of the guys we already have.

He's pretty bad

He's pretty bad

He isn't exactly #1 pick talent obviously, but he clearly isn't " pretty bad". Especially compared to guys we've discussed outside the lottery.

Holland is such an ideal athlete for the NBA that whatever he can do with some degree of efficiency should translate. That's enough to go pretty high in this draft.

Career 38/33 splits is the definition of pretty bad. I'm not sure he is even 2-way quality.

Well we can all officially stop thinking about CMB in the 2024 draft.

I still have Topic and Williams at the top of my board, thinking they have the potential to be the highest-impact players in the draft. They've both been injured and out of sight for a month or two, but it doesn't change my impression. I have Sarr as a top-3 guy, mostly for his potential as an impact defender who can guard space.

I see the appeal of Sheppard. His ability to read and anticipate on defense look All World, and his shooting is as bankable as anyone in the draft. It's really just a question of what he can do against bigger NBA athletes, especially when the game slows down. Does he run off of screens? Does he shoot off of motion? Can he create enough to be your lead guard? Can he beat a trap? There just appear to be some limitations.
