such a great article. love this:

When Holland returned to Duncanville, Peavy saw newfound leadership ability and more “alpha” in his star wing. He would still frustrate his head coach, but it was impossible to argue with the results. Duncanville may have been the best high school team in the country, and Holland was making winning plays all over the floor.

“He just doesn’t lose,” Peavy said. “I don’t know how else to say it. It would drive me crazy sometimes, but he always found a way to figure it out.”

Duncanville was winning big at every opportunity, going 62-2 during Holland’s junior and senior years. Even against national competition, Holland was simply too physical and too tenacious for other teams to contain. USA Basketball extended another invitation to play in the 2022 FIBA U17 World Cup in Spain, where it would claim another gold medal. Cooper Flagg, the likely first pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, led the team in the tournament’s efficiency metric. Holland was second.

Sharman White, who coached Holland to both gold medals with USA Basketball, never had any issues with Holland at practice or otherwise. He viewed him as an ultimate team player.

“He was a leader in both years,” White told SB Nation. “He did everything we asked him to do. He’s a competitor so, you know, you might see him fired up a little bit, but it wasn’t nothing out of line out. He’s always picking up his teammates.”

It’s hard to overstate just how bad the GLeague Ignite were last season. They were 6-44. That’s a 12% win rate which is less than 10 wins over an 82 games season. Their net rating was -14.5. Second worse was -6. They were more than double as bad as the second worst team in the league. Incredible how overmatched they were.

They had no point guard and Holland and Buzelis had to create their own shots.
