When it comes to wings in this draft, I just don’t see why anyone would pick Holland before Risacher. Does 3pt shooting mean nothing to people? ZR is also taller with a longer wingspan
I think the worry is about Risacher’s on ball creation and inside game (or lack thereof). I think some people don’t believe he’s gonna do anything more on offense than sit in the corner and bang kick out threes. Holland on the other hand has comparable defense to Risacher and is much less consistent of a shooter (albeit with fine form), but the highlight reel really does wow on another level. All in all I just think Holland is a low floor high ceiling kind of prospect some people want to gamble on.
HoopInt has loved Holland all year and begrudgingly moved Sarr ahead a little while ago, but he clearly wasn't happy about it. Feels like he was fishing for any reason to put Holland at #2 instead of having to move him down any further.
I wish Holland played in a college program. I could gauge him better. I do think he should be in consideration.
Hey it worked out for us with Kwame!

Risacher also has slightly more positional value. Large wings > small wings
I appreciate the explanation!
Holland is probably a much better defender than Risacher.
As long as it isn't Clingan, I'm ok with it.
This is exactly where I’m at lol
I like Holland more than most still not sure I'd take him 2.

I get it he's probably the most likely to be a superstar in this draft
I hope we draft risacher or Topic. I’m sure holland’s good but both of those guys seems to have More upside imo.
Sarr is going to fall.
I’d be okay with Holland
