Detroit Pistons' Ron Holland Shows Scoring Growth in NBA Summer League

Ron Holland, the Detroit Pistons' 20-year-old forward and fifth overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, has impressed throughout the 2025 NBA Summer League with strong all-around performances and marked improvement in his outside shooting, boosting his 3-point percentage from 23.8% last season to 46.7%. Over three games, Holland has averaged 21.7 points, six rebounds, and four steals while shooting 52.8% from the field, including a standout 22-point game against the Timberwolves where he added six rebounds and six steals. Despite some turnovers, Holland's defensive impact and scoring ability have been key for the Pistons, who have shown promise as a surging team with Holland potentially emerging as a co-star alongside Cade Cunningham. His offseason work with assistant coach Fred Vinson has focused on stabilizing his shooting mechanics, which appears to be yielding results. While Holland's Summer League competition level may be lower, his consistent high-level play highlights his potential to become a foundational player for Detroit's future. The Pistons remain optimistic about their young core's growth, with Holland's development being a significant factor.
