This guy I'm reading is rising on the draft boards.  Some people think he could be the Draymond Green of this years draft

Pros
-6'9 and 242 pounds. Strong.  Only 6'11 wingspan but has a 8'11 reach for a pf/sf
-Offensive versatility. Inside, outside game. Above average handles
-Defensive versatility.  Unlike Green,  will initiate physical contact.  Good shot blocker and  rebounder.   Good lateral quickness out to the perimeter
- Motor - Unlike Green again. Will dive for loose balls, put his body on the line to get the ball. Runs hard in transition

Cons
- Tweener (though this is becoming less of a bad thing these days)
- Jack of all trades, master of none.  Only shot 33 percent from the 3. 
- Feel for the game improved in his senior year but can be better. Needs to do a better job finding the open man
- Not a consistent scoring threat. Only averaged about 10-12ppg in his junior to senior year. 
- Bouncy athlete that can dunk with authority but not explosive.
- Age. Senior

But because of his size , motor and versatility could a consistent mini triple double treat . Could block 5 shots, rebound 7, score 12 and get 5 assist.   I think Holmes is a guy on Dannys shortlist for the 28th or more likely 33rd pick.
