DaRon Holmes II

Draft Notes

Holmes II is a solid interior player who is beginning to show flashes of a perimeter game. He’s the type of hard-working post scorer, rebounder and interior defender that might not get a fan base excited but can provide good value in the draft.

Protects the rim well. He’s not the biggest center but has decent length, good timing and natural shot blocking instincts.

Does most of his damage in the paint and looks to dunk eveyrthing around the rim.

Is starting to expand his offensive game.
