Before getting drafted by the Pistons, Holland was a do-it-all forward for Ignite. Last season, he posted averages of 19.5 PPG, 6.7 RPG, and 3.1 APG.

Standing at 6-foot-8, 206 pounds, Holland has a frame that is built for the modern NBA. Alongside Ausar Thompson, the Pistons now have a pair of forwards who can do just about everything on the floor. However, three-point shooting is a key area of development for the both of them.

With his skill set, Holland has the potential to grow into a key member of the Pistons core. That said, new coach J.B. Bickerstaff will have to make sure he gets consistent minutes so he can develop at the NBA level. Given all the additions the Pistons made this offseason, that might be hard at times.

Seeing that Detroit has a log jam at both forward spots, Holland will have to battle for his minutes. That said, the Pistons don't have to rush things since he is one of the youngest prospects of his draft class.
