Ron Holland's dramatic transformation makes his role crystal clear

Ron Holland is coming off a fantastic summer league and looking for a bigger role on the Pistons’ main roster. He recently posted a picture on his Instagram story of a weight scale showing 212.0 pounds with the caption “+15lbs”. The post implies that his bodyweight is increasing as he bulks for the upcoming season and likely prepares to fill one of the team’s biggest current voids: backup power forward.

Last season, Holland was officially listed at 6-foot-8 and 206lbs. It’s easy to forget how big he is because of his thin frame and fluid athleticism, but Holland does have the size to be a power forward in today’s NBA with a proper bulk.
