He's 28 and has spent half of his professional career on a team that specializes in teaching players bad habits. His mid-range push shot is nice, but he can't shoot. We talk about him like he's this great rim roller, but I honestly doubt he's as good at that as Powell, tbh. He's got the tools to be a good defender, but is he, in reality?
Funny you mention Powell. After Sabonis got elbowed to the face, they said Holmes offered him his spare pair of glasses. I guess Holmes has taken a lot of shots to the face this season and one that required surgery. So I guess he and Powell have that in common.
