Also, the influence his father and Klutch Sports (the powerhouse agency run by Lebron’s agent Rich Paul) could have on the process - especially if Lebron makes good on his early promise to play alongside his son - can't be understated. But his ability to generate clicks is an undeniable factor. There are a variety of different reasons. And yet, that is what multiple outlets are now projecting? What it doesn’t necessarily add up to is a one-and-done lottery pick. He’s also a competitive and engaged defender.Īll of that adds up to a player who is well-suited to come in and help a college team win from day one next year. The best part of his individual offense is his ability to knock down open threes (although, he can also get loose for some big plays in transition). He’s strong, athletic in the open floor, unselfish and a very good passer. But he's a well-rounded, two-way player who “knows how to play” as coaches would say. In terms of his own game, Bronny may not be as dynamic as some might expect given his father’s stardom. What has been truly impressive me, though, is the poise and maturity with which Bronny has dealt with that attention - both on and off the floor.

Here's 247Sports' Brandon Jenkins with the latest VIP intel on Holland's recruitment.īronny James might not have been one of the seven candidates for the No. This ranking might break the hearts of Texas Longhorns fans, who last week lost Holland to a decommitment. He’s prepared to make an immediate impact on winning at the college level (albeit not necessarily as a primary scorer) and is trending towards the type of big, versatile wing and multi-positional defender that is so coveted at the highest levels of the game today.

While his offensive game remains a work-in-progress, he’s made steady strides in recent months and has the touch to continue evolving as a shooter and scorer. He has an elite motor, thrives on both ends of the floor and can defend multiple positions.

Ron Holland is one of the most competitive and versatile players in the class. 1 player or any extraordinarily high-ceiling prospect, we opted to crown the player with the highest floor the top player in the 2023 class.
