Javonte Green scores 19 as Pistons stare at Ron Holland's limited minutes

Javonte Green led the Detroit Pistons to a comeback victory over the Boston Celtics in their season opener on October 21, scoring 19 points and hitting five three-pointers. Green’s performance raises questions about Ron Holland's playing time, as Holland was utilized for only 2:45 and did not score. Prior to the game, the Pistons guaranteed Holland’s fourth year, valued at approximately $11.5 million, indicating a commitment to the young player. Despite the investment, Holland's contributions will need to increase for his development. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff may face decisions about minutes as the season progresses.
