Scouting Report:
Strengths
- Lockdown Defense: Holloman is praised for his relentless on-ball defense and lateral quickness, and he frequently has the most challenging duties at MSU.
- Elite playmaking: Averaged 3.7 assists per game and showed excellent floor vision; excels in transition and pick-and-roll situations.
- Explosive Factor: Hit a half-court buzzer-beater to stun Maryland and scored a season-high 20 points against Michigan.
Weaknesses
- Inconsistent Scoring: Despite his ability to dominate games, his offensive output is inconsistent, particularly against physical defenses.
- Needs Strength: At 185 pounds, he may need muscle to handle ACC-level contact constantly.
Under Will Wade, NC State is rebuilding with a defense-first mindset. Holloman’s perimeter defense, facilitation, and leadership skills match him for this strategy. Expect him to contend for the starting point guard position in a new backcourt that includes fellow transfers Alyn Breed and Quadier Copeland.
Holloman’s experience, poise, and defensive instincts make him a strong contender for a breakout season in the ACC. With more offensive options at NC State, he could enhance his scoring and become one of the conference’s most balanced guards.
