The Detroit Pistons chose Ron Holland with the fifth overall choice in the 2024 NBA Draft this week. The incoming youngster mentioned Jaylen Brown as a current player he’d like to learn from, as reported by Pistons Talk.
Brown played a significant role in the Boston Celtics‘ successful pursuit of their 18th league title. The three-time All-Star’s outstanding play earned him the MVP title in the NBA Finals.
Holland kept praising Brown. He said,
“I would say Jaylen Brown. Notice what he was when he first came into the league. Every offseason, he added something to his game, and he stepped it up defensively this season. Look at the outcome.”
“I can definitely see myself doing that. I’m not going to be perfect when I get in the league, but I definitely want to have the keys, knowledge, and information to know what it takes. I feel like that’s one person I can get a lot of information, toughness, and learn how to channel certain things.”
