3 Reasons Geren Holmes is a Top Prospect
For anyone tracking the Prep Hoops risers, Holmes has what a modern wing needs.
- Scoring at three levels: He is reliable shooting off the catch, and strong enough to attack a closeout and finish through contact.
- Positional versatility: He can handle the ball on the perimeter and use his 6’5″ frame against smaller defenders on switches.
