Here\u2019s where Holland ranked among Pistons finishers with garbage time removed last season:<\/p>\n
Kevin Huerter: 78% (93rd %tile \u2014 wings)<\/p>\n
Isaiah Stewart: 76% (88th %tile \u2014 bigs)<\/p>\n
Paul Reed: 75% (86th %tile \u2014 bigs)<\/p>\n
Duncan Robinson: 71% (78th %tile \u2014 wings)<\/p>\n
Jalen Duren: 73% (76th %tile \u2014 bigs)<\/p>\n
Ausar Thompson: 67% (58th %tile \u2014 wings)<\/p>\n
Cade Cunningham: 63% (46th %tile \u2014 point)<\/p>\n
Ron Holland: 65% (44th %tile \u2014 forwards)<\/p>\n
Caris LeVert: 61% (27th %tile \u2014 wings)<\/p>\n
Tobias Harris: 59% (23rd %tile \u2014 forwards)<\/p>\n
Javonte Green: 60% (22nd %tile \u2014 wings)<\/p>\n
Daniss Jenkins: 55% (22nd %tile \u2014 combos)<\/p>\n
This was ranked by position percentile because how you stack up with your archetype around the league has relevance.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no chance one would guess Holland was the eighth-best finisher in Detroit relative to his position given the reputation he carries. And for good reason. When you see his SportsCenter Top-10 caliber finishes, you\u2019d probably believe that\u2019s just another day in the office.<\/p>\n
When Holland is on, his plus-wingspan and bounce have major splash-play potential. Holland shifts momentum with crowd-roaring slams.<\/p>\n
Holland immediately attacks off the catch, slithers by his defender, and gets a one-on-none finish at the rim. Non-rim protectors won\u2019t consider jumping with him, even though their coach will ring them out for lack of effort.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, it doesn\u2019t even matter who jumps with him at the rim when it\u2019s mano a mano. Holland two-hand stuffs this over a center. Holland will attempt these murders with anyone in the paint.<\/p>\n
Holland\u2019s stern belief that he cannot be stopped by David\u2019s or Goliath\u2019s at the rim makes for good body bags, but it looks a little different when those all-gas, no-break rim attempts devolve into missed lays.<\/p>\n
He went at three Thunder players here. Going into two or three keeps him from being a tier-one finisher like his traits suggest he should be. But the secondary follow up shows that dog and why he attempts so many tough lays.<\/p>\n
The hustle man is the man without fear. He\u2019ll try any type of layup when he feels he has a step on the defense.<\/p>\n
These high off-the-glass lefty attempts get commended for the effort, but these shots, especially the second one, are of the greatest difficulty. With more control, Holland would bring some of these out or swing it after he collapses the defense.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t have numbers here (no great angle to get it to Ausar), but bringing it out and resetting isn\u2019t a crime. Usually, there is no need to reset in transition, and Holland\u2019s finishing there is as good as advertised.<\/p>\n
Holland\u2019s off-hand works just fine when he\u2019s under control. He takes Anthony Davis\u2019 bump and goes right over one of the best defenders to never win a Defensive Player of the Year award.<\/p>\n
These are the types of finishes Holland can take and make on the regular. He should be knocking on 70 percent at the rim with his bunnies, burst, and boldness.<\/p>\n
That would put him in line with forwards like OG Anunoby, Jalen Johnson, and Scottie Barnes. Holland can be as dynamic as them when he assesses when to take on two and when to get off of it because he got downhill and collapsed the defense.<\/p>\n
An argument can be made that more spacing in itself will aid Holland\u2019s finishing. There may be less of a 2000s packed lane in lineups with Isaiah Joe, Huerter<\/a>, John Collins, and others on the floor. Holland can get more chances to attack one guy, and we know what he does there.<\/p>\n Holland\u2019s improving handle will help his finishing, and being more of a threat from 3 would force closeouts he can attack. Picking his spots could help him level up in what should be an elite trait of his.<\/p>\n
