DaRon Holmes - Dayton

[bucknut]

Holmes got engulfed by Arizonas bigs and looked bad. Couldn't score 1 on 1. I mean edey vs Holmes as who to take is a joke....edey is so much better as a scrorer. No way Holmes scores on clingan.

Guys like Holmes are available in the second round yearly

Dante for Oregon now this is a prospect....

Holmes could become Christian Wood with a brain/heart which is for sure a starting level guy.

And everyone gets engulfed by Edey - that isnt the sticking point. Its whether he can keep up with the space + pace style of the NBA. I waver back and forth but today at least I dont think he can.

According to the Barttorvik database, this is the total list of NCAA players since 2008 that exceed the following statistical thresholds (I added Holmes' numbers for this past season in parenthesis):

- 50+ dunks in a season (71)
- 3pt % of 35%+ (38.6%)
- 4+ 3PA per 100 possessions (4.8)
- Block rate of 6%+ (7.2%)
- Steal rate of 1%+ (1.8%)

Finding 2-way big men with a real inside-outside presence is like finding a needle in a haystack. Usually when the rare big shows flashes of a 3-pt shot to go along with size and rim protection, they don't stick around in college long enough to put up these numbers. Notable that Holmes also has by far the highest assist % of the group.

reminds me of Julius Randle. He's a 4 imo. I'm worried I might be too low having him at the end of the first. I'm just worried that he's more of a tweener on defense. But there's no doubt he will start in the NBA and be an effective PF.

I think he's too much of a tweener if his frontcourt partner is slower-footed than him and not a rim protector. Fit will matter for him to be maximized
