00:00
It is our first upset of the night, and it is a large plus money price.
00:08
20 to 1 on Ron Holland to be the fifth overall selection.
00:13
The pick is now in.
00:14
The Pistons select Ron Holland out of G League Unite.
00:18
Kevin, the 2024 college basketball recruiting class, Holland was the number two prospect
00:24
in the country.
00:25
Originally committed to Texas, decided to go the G League route.
00:30
What do the Pistons see in Holland?
00:32
They see one of the best players in this class.
00:35
For those who were with us on NFL Draft Night, when Michael Pennix was selected, it was met
00:39
with, what are they doing?
00:41
Appropriately, in this draft, we get an upset.
00:43
It's, oh my gosh, they did the right thing.
00:45
I think Ron Holland is certainly a better player than Matas Bouzelis, who was the favorite
00:51
to go in this slot.
00:53
Now, you mentioned the 20 to 1 number on Ron Holland.
00:57
It's not the only upset.
00:59
Bouzelis, of course, but officially now, Donovan Klingin, as we alluded to on this show, a
01:05
man without a home, not selected in the top five, and upset from the market of to be a
01:12
top five pick, but in no category, picks one through five was favored to be selected then.
01:17
And Donovan Klingin was a hefty favorite, nearly a $4 favorite, closing at minus $3.90
01:24
to be a top five pick.
01:26
That ticket does not cash.
01:27
We will talk about Donovan Klingin's slide, but first we go to the Motor City.
01:32
J.Y., it's been an interesting offseason already in Detroit.
01:35
The dismissal of Monte Williams after only one year, and a record-breaking contract at
01:41
this point an offseason ago.
01:43
So, the Pistons focused on the future.
01:46
What did Detroit get in Ron Holland?
01:48
A young athlete who can get up and down the floor, that's a rugged defender, and fits
01:54
this young Pistons team.
01:57
It may not be what you would think they would need to get, but this could be the star forward.
02:04
You could play him as a three because of his ability and his length to defend and get up
02:08
and down the floor.
02:09
He also has a two.
02:10
He addresses your wing depth, so this does check the boxes.
02:14
Now, it makes it interesting enough because what happens to me, and now I'm circling at
02:18
a guy like Ivy.
02:21
Could this be that he be moved out?
02:23
I don't think Killian Hayes comes back.
02:25
Obviously, you have Thompson, you have Doering, you have Cade, and Kevin and I have talked
02:30
about this a bunch of times when I've been on with him.
02:33
No one is safe in Detroit.
02:34
I mean, obviously, the coach isn't safe, but nobody on this roster is safe.
02:40
This kid is safe, and listen, he does have the upside and the trajectory to be a star
02:46
player in this league.
