Holmes weighed 205 when he came to Dayton. He added 30 pounds in the weight room, so if he just does that, he'll probably play at 245 lbs in the NBA. That's right between Al Horford & Bam Adebayo. He's going to wind up backing up both Jokic & AG, which would net him about 30 min a night once he gets into the rotation. Backing those two up was the Nuggets primary weakness on the bench last year.
@@colemelo33 It could if he's the primary backup for both Jokic & AG. He's the only candidate for the job since we know Nnaji isn't up to it & Malone certainly has nobody else who is either. He's already got an all-around game, plays excellent defense & he can pass, play in the pick 'n roll & do a lot of what both those guys do. In point of fact, he may be the most NBA ready rookie out of the gate when you consider how many of the lottery picks only had one year in college.
@@elizabethchase6528 He was in there every day. There's an article about I found while researching him that describes the way he set out to add strength & weight both with how he was eating & lifting. You can see the clear difference between how he looked as a junior vs. how he looked his first 2 seasons at Dayton. This guys is an exceptionally hard worker with a very disciplined approach.
This may have been an extremely smart move by Denver, although only time will tell. He could be one of the few rookies who developes quickly and becomes the bench player that they need to get back to the finals. They're hoping Daron Holmes is gonna be like Herb Jones.
One of the consistent comments I see from NBA analysts & the group of quasi-scouts who opine on this stuff has to do with Holmes needing to add weight. I reviewed every one of the first 21 draft picks & examined their height & weight, took a look at them in recent photos & looked at video footage of them. IN EVERY CASE except for one or two other big men, I found the player was either significantly under developed for the NBA or at best had an average NBA body...except for of course...the big 300 pounder at Purdue. To be clear, DaRon Holmes look to me to have THE BEST build I saw for any 4 or 5 position player drafted in the top 22 picks of this draft. Several of the players taken in the high lottery were skinny as hell & look like they are a couple years away at best from having the physicality to start in the NBA. Some of these them look like they are 30 pounds below where they need to be in the NBA. I think this is one reason this draft was not viewed very favorably. Almost all of the top picks are essentially projects drafted on potential as opposed to what they have already done. This guy has already proven he can put on weight & muscle,which he did to the tune of 30 pounds in 3 years, 20 of it just last season. He is also extremely dedicated in the weight room, as multiple reports indicate & he himself talks about. We will probably see him round off at about 250 pounds by year 2 in the league.
Whats the big concern about him, just the level of competition because he looks like a well rounded player who could be an All Star if the Nuggets develop him to take Gordons spot in a couple years.
i’d say he was a little turnover heavy (but his usage was much higher than it’ll be in DEN), and the level of comp, which i don’t think is a problem. and age, that’s likely why he fell
You put joc on a mountain but kind of funny they never would have seen a 🏆 ring if it wasn't for Gordon and that's a fact you people never seem to admit when joc is out who makes up for him surely hasn't been Murray better hope this new guy makes a difference you need to give Gordon a pay raise I hope Gordon let these big money makers play there on defense maybe he want have to play so much defense for joc
You’re forgetting about Vlakco Cancar and Payton Watson. He would have to earn minutes over Zeke. Rarely does coach Malone give rookie’s minutes unless it’s a no brainer difference. He would definitely have to prove he can rebound with the NBA bigs before throwing minutes. I’m highly rooting for the guy bc he will be a good player for us but I’ll pump the breaks on the high minutes right off the bat. I see where your coming from tho, we desperately need a solid back up center
He’s a Nugget! ⚒️🤩
GREAT PICKUP
That naz reid comparison is spot on. He cooked us in game 7 at the end. Can't wait to see him and jokic putting in work

definitely! Denver hasn’t had a true backup big in so long, this is great for them
True, Denver hasn't had a reliable backup for Joker since Mason Plumlee
Ehh 30 min. A night as a rookie won’t happen on a championship caliber team

You do know hoops. Nice film study!
my guy, truly appreciate that!!
he is going to be good playing with Joker and backup for Joker!
facts!! those lineups where they’re both on the floor will be 🔥

Such an interesting prospect, really can’t see him falling out of the 1st round. Great video my guy!
would be a crime for him to fall out. appreciate it bro!
Great selection of plays- good breakdown. As a Nuggs fan I am so stoked. LFG!

God is Good
all the time!
Shhhhhh we need to gatekeep him because the Nuggets need Holmes haha

@@RikKnowsHoopsbrah

I said Naz Reid exact same time 😂
bro i can’t unsee it 😂😂
Never seen Naz Reid bring up the ball or handle the ball that much.
Devil horns shows who he really serves. That is horrible . . .

@@RikKnowsHoops thanks for the reply, I hope he is ready to work/learn because Jokic can tell you where to be on any play on either side of the court.
Get better 🙏🏽
@JuanettaThomas-mf6om
Jokic has a better defensive rating and better defensive stats then Gordon.
Sad to say this as a nuggets fan, but this didn’t age well 😢
he’ll be back and better

Speak louder. Too quiet.
Sorry, nobody is a steal until AFTER at least.their rookie year.
He has weird looking shooting form
yea it’s a little unorthodox but it’s knockdown
That al horford
@@freddie5ive his shot base similar to Al Horford 😂
