Ranking 6 prospects the Houston Rockets are likely to select in 2024 NBA draft

4 of 6

3. Ron Holland, G-League Ignite

Much of what was said about Buzelis could be said about Holland. He's another athletic, 6'8" G-League Ignite wing who can do everything besides shoot.

Holland's shooting was even worse - he hit just 24.0 of his threes this year. We know what you're thinking. Why are we ranking him ahead of Buzelis?

Well, we're buying Holland's upside (even) more. His athleticism is a little more impressive. Holland is strong, and his fantastic burst allows him to bully his way to the rim against a wide range of defenders.

Ron Holland has elite defensive versatility. He’s a very strong wing defender that is capable of racking up steals and blocks.

The 6’8” forward averaged 2.3 steals and 0.9 blocks this season. When he’s in a winning environment his motor is off the charts.

No, he's not a clean fit with this team. This would be another upside swing for the Rockets. If you're looking for a ready-made contributor, move on to the next prospect on this list.
