    I remember hearing his name during Summer League a lot as a decent prospect.

    Here is his DraftExpress profile.

    Draft Express had him as their 24th best prospect in the whole draft right after Justin Anderson.

    6'9.25" in his shoes, 242 lbs. 6'11.5" wingspan, 6'11.5" standing reach. He's got a 25.5" standing vert and a 31 inch two-step vertical.

    Another young guy with something thing to prove and most likely a chip on his shoulder. And at a position that we need depth at. I like.

    Well we sure needed another PF, especially after drafting Nance Jr and having Randle and Tarik and Bass and Kelly already on the squad. Maybe someone's going out? Or this will allow that at some point? Or camp fodder? Why not drafted..... must have some big hole in his game? Haven't got time to search at the moment beyond seeing pics and his physical specs. Anyone excited about this that saw him play in Summer League?

    I mistakenly assumed he was a small forward. This can only mean we are shipping somebody out and that we have no shot of meeting our quota. I mean achieving positional roster balance. I went from encouraged to confused.

    Holmes is capable of playing both forward positions.

    I'm assuming this is a partially guaranteed camp invite? Do we even have any roster spots?

    Yeah it's a partially guaranteed camp invite. More than likely he doesn't make the team, but the interesting bit is if the partial guarantee is fairly high. I'm guessing that guaranteed money is what got him into our camp.
