Pistons season preview: A finishing leap could take Ron Holland to another level

Detroit Bad Boys writer Brennan Sims argues that Detroit Pistons forward Ron Holland could elevate his game by improving his finishing around the rim. Despite impressive athletic traits and highlight-reel dunks, Holland ranked as only a 44th percentile finisher among forwards last season with a 65 percent conversion rate at the rim in non-garbage time.

Sims believes Holland can approach a 70 percent conversion rate by exercising better shot selection, avoiding over-contested attempts, and benefiting from Detroit's improved floor spacing. While Holland continues working on his perimeter shooting and aims for an All-Defensive selection, Sims highlights refined rim-finishing as the key offensive leap for his development.
