attack
1. Holmgren’s height talent and athletic ability make him stand out in the paint. Despite his lean frame and lack of strength, he’s one of the most efficient finishers in college basketball history, averaging 1.68 points per shot around the rim.
2. He can also perform impressively on the perimeter. His spot-up ability makes him a matchup problem for opposing bigs. He’s shooting more threes than anyone else at his size and position.
3. His movement, ball handling and shooting are fluid and deft, and his basketball skills are more like a guard than a big man. While he’s not the most explosive and athletic offensive player, his ability to handle the ball gives him considerable potential offensively.
4. He is not good at finding open players on the move and jumping after dribbling.
defense
1. He has an excellent height advantage and wingspan, and is good at timing. He can use the vertical height to block the opponent to protect the basket, and the defensive area is very large.
2. When switching to outside defense, he has amazing lateral speed in front of smaller players, which is what many inside rim protectors lack most.
3. Protect rebounding ability. His efficiency on the defensive glass is also rare for a shot-blocking player like him.
