The defensive-minded forward could be a big addition for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Oklahoma City Thunder could genuinely go any which direction with the No. 12 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.recently released an updated 2024 NBA mock draft, which saw the Thunder selected G League Ignite's Ron Holland with the lottery selection.
"Holland could end up being the best defensive forward in the draft. The 6-7 forward has a nose for the ball defensively — he averaged more than 2 steals a game in the G League — and is excellent in the open floor, which would be a great fit in OKC," Marshall wrote. "Holland can create his own shot, but needs to make more after shooting 24% from 3 on 3.6 attempts per game last season. The Thunder are at least in a position to wait for him to develop.
Holland's overall efficiency slightly rose in the G League Showcase Cup, but he was a consistent 24 percent shooter from beyond the arc. His defense is worth playing immediately, and he's good on the open floor, which means he could help convert transition points. Would he be playable in the postseason, though?
