Opponents are shooting only 53.8% around the basket with Holmes nearby, a Gobertian number, per NBA.com data. He is rebounding a career-best level. Behemoths can overpower Holmes, but he is grinding on defense.
On offense, he is one of the league's most frequent screen-setters and rim-runners -- a dangerous and violent lob threat who sucks in defenders and opens up things for Sacramento's shooters. The Kings are plus-7 points per 100 possessions with Holmes on the floor, and minus-15 (not a typo) when he sits. Yowza.
FIVE MILLION THIS SUMMER. Baynes, Theis. There are so many guys signed last summer that are better than Powell and make half his money.
