Holland had a quiet rookie season in terms of production, but the 2024 No. 5 overall pick appeared in all but one regular-season game and played 15.6 minutes a night for the Pistons, who had one of the most remarkable turnarounds in NBA history. After finishing with the worst record in the league in 2023-24 (14-68), Detroit was above .500 last year and secured the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference, avoiding the Play-In Tournament. The Pistons lost Tim Hardaway, Malik Beasley, Dennis Schroder and Simone Fontecchio, but they added Caris LeVert, Duncan Robinson and rookie Chaz Lanier, plus Jaden Ivey is fully healthy after a lost campaign. Given his draft pedigree, Holland should be the primary backup on the wings behind Ivey, Ausar Thompson and Tobias Harris, but Holland will have to earn usage, which is difficult to come by with Cade Cunningham leading the way. Holland still has major real-life upside, but his path to fantasy stardom is clouded in 2025-26. He's a safer bet in points leagues due to his poor offensive efficiency, but doesn't need to be taken inside the top-200 picks. Holland is worth a flier after that and is a player to monitor on the waiver wire closely. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
From Duncanville, Texas, Holland was the Gatorade Player of the Year in 2022-23 en route to landing a spot on Team USA for the 2023 Nike Hoop Summit and being named a 2023 McDonald's All-American. He was a consensus five-star prospect and ESPN's No. 2 player in the class of 2023. Holland opted to forego college and played for the G League Ignite in 2023-24, but he made only 14 appearances before undergoing surgery to repair a tendon rupture in his right thumb. He's expected to make a full recovery and be healthy for the NBA's Summer League. Holland averaged 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.5 steals with 44.3/24.0/75.7 shooting splits during his brief G League action. At 6-foot-8, Holland has elite fluidity for his size. His jumper looks smooth, and he can pull up from anywhere on the court and get his shot off, but his shooting percentages need to improve. He's not a natural point guard, but he draws plenty of attention and is willing to find the open teammate. Defensively, Holland has all the tools, but he's a work in progress on both ends of the floor. Holland can develop into an elite three-level scorer and defensive player early in his career. His defensive prowess is reminiscent of Herbert Jones, but to reach his full potential he may need to sit on the bench for a few years like Jonathan Kuminga.
Pops for 17 points in win
FDetroit Pistons
December 1, 2025
Holland finished Monday's 99-98 win over the Hawks with 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and two steals in 17 minutes.
ANALYSIS Holland scored a season-high 17 points, helping the Pistons to an important victory. While this was an encouraging performance, there is no reason to view this as anything more than an outlier. In his previous 13 games, Holland has scored in double digits just once, while tallying no more than five points on six separate occasions.

ANALYSIS Subscribe now to instantly reveal our take on this news.
ANALYSIS Holland added 15 pounds this offseason, in part because he might get some minutes at power forward behind Harris, and the second-year wing sounded comfortable with the idea. "Whatever position they need me to go in and play, I'm ready for it, whether it's the one, two, three or four. I feel like if I go sub Tobias and I go guard some fours, I'll be prepared for that." Holland appeared in 81 regular-season games in 2024-25 while playing both at shooting guard and small forward.
