• Pistons' Ronald Holland: Minimal impact in Game 3 loss

  Rotowire Apr 25, 2025

  Holland totaled six points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one block in 12 minutes during Thursday's 118-116 loss to the Knicks in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Holland has struggled to make an impact against the Knicks this series, going scoreless in the first two games before finally getting on the board Thursday with six points from the free-throw line. Overall, he's averaging 2.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 7.7 minutes per game through the Pistons' first three first-round matchups. Growing pains were anticipated for the 19-year-old in his rookie campaign, but the Pistons need more impact from him when he's on the court. If Holland can't elevate his play, he risks being phased out of the rotation altogether, and with the Pistons down in the series, that could mean an early end to both his postseason and the team's.

  Holland is in Detroit's starting lineup against Milwaukee on Sunday. Holland will make his first start since Nov. 13 and should see extended action in Sunday's regular-season finale. He has averaged 4.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 14.6 minutes per game over his last five outings.

• Pistons' Ronald Holland: Impresses off bench

  Rotowire Apr 11, 2025

  Holland ended Thursday's 115-106 victory over New York with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one block over 22 minutes. Even though Tobias Harris (heel) returned from a three-game absence, Holland saw an increased workload and had the hot hand off the bench. Holland had played 15 or fewer minutes in his previous three outings, but he certainly gave the coaching staff something to think about with his performance Thursday.

• Pistons' Ronald Holland: Quiet again Monday

  Rotowire Apr 8, 2025

  Holland registered five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 15 minutes during Monday's 127-117 loss to the Kings. Holland continues to play as a depth piece for the Pistons, struggling to carve out a sizeable role during what has been an underwhelming rookie campaign. He has scored single digits in five of the past six games, basically replicating what he has done all season. Through 78 games, he has averaged 6.5 points and 2.7 rebounds in 15.5 minutes per game.

Entering Sunday's contest, the rookie first-round pick had averaged 12.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 19.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

• Pistons' Ronald Holland: Draws one-game ban

  Rotowire Apr 1, 2025

  The NBA announced Tuesday that Holland has been issued a one-game suspension for his role in an on-court altercation that occurred in the second quarter of Sunday's 123-104 loss to the Timberwolves. Holland was one of five players (three Pistons, two Timberwolves) ejected after the incident, and all five involved will serve suspensions. Along with Holland, Marcus Sasser will be suspended for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, while Isaiah Stewart will serve a two-game ban. Holland's absence could open up some extra minutes on the wing for Ausar Thompson and Simone Fontecchio.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Provides spark in win

  Rotowire Mar 18, 2025

  Holland finished with 10 points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block in 20 minutes during Monday's 127-81 win over New Orleans. Holland contributed double-digit points for the 11th time over 69 regular-season appearances, providing an efficient spark off the bench Monday. The 19-year-old logged at least 20 minutes of playing time for the first time in March during the blowout win, and entering Monday, he had averaged 13.3 minutes per game over eight outings this month.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Scores eight points

  Rotowire Mar 4, 2025

  Holland provided eight points (2-2 FG, 4-6 FT), one rebound and two assists across 18 minutes during Monday's 134-106 win over the Jazz. Although the Pistons were without Isaiah Stewart (back) and Tobias Harris (personal), Holland did not see a big uptick in minutes even though the game was a blowout. Over his last 10 appearances, Holland has averaged 16.8 minutes per contest with 6.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Fails to score in 13 minutes

  Rotowire Feb 13, 2025

  Holland totaled zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 victory over the Bulls. Holland failed to score for just the third time this season, failing to reach double-digit points for the 10th straight game. Although he is a regular part of the rotation, Holland has been unable to carve out a sizeable role for a Detroit team that finally has direction. The Pistons currently occupy the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference and have been one of the more surprising teams to this point.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Tallies 13 points in loss

  Rotowire Jan 25, 2025

  Holland finished with 13 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 16 minutes during Saturday's 121-113 loss to the Magic. Holland scored double-digit points for just the second time in the past 13 games, continuing to play a consistent yet underwhelming role off the bench. Despite the loss, the Pistons have positioned themselves very well when compared to previous seasons, meaning playing time is not as easy to come by for someone like Holland. Assuming Detroit can stay competitive, it's hard to see the rookie stepping into a sizeable role any time soon.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Scores 11 points off bench

  Rotowire Jan 10, 2025

  Holland totaled 11 points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 20 minutes during Thursday's 107-104 loss to Golden State. Holland didn't have his best shooting performance, but there's no doubt the rookie made his presence felt off the bench with his first double-digit scoring effort since Dec. 28. Holland has shown he can catch fire from time to time, but his inconsistent scoring numbers and limited role off the bench limit his upside across all formats. Nonetheless, Holland should continue to get opportunities given Jaden Ivey (lower leg) is likely done for the regular season.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Ejected Thursday

  Rotowire Dec 19, 2024

  Holland was ejected from Thursday's game against the Jazz after nearly engaging in a physical altercation with Jordan Clarkson, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports. Holland and Clarkson nearly traded blows in the third quarter, and the referee decided to eject both players to prevent the situation from escalating further. Holland finished the game with four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds across 13 rebounds off the bench.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Explodes with career-high 26 points

  Rotowire Dec 12, 2024

  Holland ended with 26 points (11-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in 21 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 loss to Boston. It would appear to be a breakout performance on the surface from the 2024 No. 5 overall pick, who went off for a career-high 26 points in just 21 minutes off the bench. However, it needs to be noted that 20 of Holland's points came during garbage time in the fourth quarter of Thursday's rout mostly against Boston's second-string players. Even so, it's a promising sign going forward for Holland, and one that should at least put him on the watchlists of fantasy managers moving ahead. It still remains to be seen if the 19-year-old's performance will earn him more minutes out of head coach J.B. Bickerstaff's rotation in the future, so a wait-and-see approach is recommended before immediately adding Holland from waiver wires.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Plays just 11 minutes

  Rotowire Nov 26, 2024

  Holland contributed four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound across 11 minutes during Monday's 102-100 win over Toronto. Now that Ausar Thompson is back in the picture, minutes will be much tougher to come by for Holland, even with Cade Cunningham (hip) still sidelined. Holland was already a dicey fantasy option before Thompson's return, and he's now averaging just 5.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in 15.2 minutes per game to begin his rookie campaign.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Solid outing in start

  Rotowire Nov 14, 2024

  Holland produced 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 overtime loss to the Bucks. Holland made his first career start Wednesday and scored double-digit points for the second time this season. While the rookie guard came into the game shooting 91.7 percent from the free-throw line across his first 12 appearances, he missed two clutch free throws at the end of regulation that allowed the contest to head into overtime.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Limited again in loss

  Rotowire Oct 29, 2024

  Holland logged six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 14 minutes during Monday's 106-98 loss to the Heat. Holland played just 14 minutes off the bench, continuing his underwhelming start to the season. To this point, he has scored a grand total of just 21 points in four games, adding very little in terms of peripheral production. While there is a chance he steps into a larger role later in the season, managers simply can't hold him given his limited contributions. Even in deeper formats, there are likely better options available on waivers.

• Pistons' Ron Holland: Headed to Detroit with fifth pick

  Rotowire Jun 26, 2024

  Holland (thumb) was selected by the Pistons with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Holland's calling card is his defense, owning a high motor and exceptional athleticism while showcasing a quality handle that makes him an intriguing prospect at 18 years of age. He was one of the top players coming out of high school but partially fell under the radar with the G League Ignite due to a season-ending thumb injury suffered in January after appearing in just 14 games. The injury is expected to be fully healed in time for Summer League. If Holland can add a reliable three-point shot -- he connected on 24 percent of his attempts in the G League -- he could be a cornerstone player for the Pistons. Holland figures to fill in alongside Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren in the frontcourt as Detroit shoots for upside at No. 5 overall.
