Season Summary:
So Ryan Hollins put up an average Ryan Hollins year. He has averaged 3.7 points and 2.2 rebounds over an 8 year career. He played stellar man defence (ranked #1 in the league on Isolation plays!), bad help defense, led the team in Points per Shot, had the worst Assist to Turnover ratio and got paid almost $3,000 dollars a minute of playing time.

Advanced Stats Glossary:
T_MIN = Total Minutes. The seconds are converted to decimal values out of a 100 to make querying easier.
DIFF/MIN = Differential per Minute
T_DIFF = Total Differential
REB/MIN = Rebounds per Minute
UFG% = Unguarded Field Goal Percentage. Unguarded means there is no one within 3.5 feet.
CFG% = Contested Field Goal Percentage. There is at least one defender within 3.5 feet.
DFG% = Field Goals defended at rim percentage.
AT_RATIO = Assist to Turnover ratio. This includes passes that lead to free throws and the pass that lead to an assist, so it will seems inflated.

Player Comparison:
I thought a fair comparison was Cole Aldrich, since he was:
a) on our team at the end of the Maloof era
b) a journeyman bigman
c) easily available at the same time as Hollins
I was actually surprised how well Hollins did in some areas, but his biggest issue, is he is not Cousins.

Season Highlight:
4/15/2015 VS Los Angeles Lakers
I had to go with our win vs the LA D-League team, where Hollins posted a +10. He did score 15 on the Spurs once, but we lost that game.

Season Lowlight:
11/30/2014 vs Memphis
If you can believe Ryan Hollins actually started this game. Even though he only had a -2, it was a lot of donuts on the stat sheet.

Next Steps:
Retirement I assume.

Possible Replacement:
Hopefully Eric Moreland can return with a vengeance and be the player I was hoping for after Summer League.

Season Grade:
C, it's hard to blame Hollins for our season when he put up an average season for him. The fact that we needed a whole lot more, wasn't his fault.

General Manager Grade:
D, I disagree with the notions that a 28 win team needs to stack up on Veterans. We need talent of any kind. But even assuming Veterans are what we need, Ryan Hollins was the wrong kind of vet. The journeyman who never accomplished much. This always felt like Pete need a 3rd string 7 footer, so lets sign the 30 year old UCLA. I want my GM to be more diligent and scour the earth for possible breakout talent, not just sign retreads.
 
Agreed with the GM grade. Hollins was brought in partly to help with the culture as a hard working vet with a great team first attitude but going forward we need to fill that spot with either a guy that can play or potential.
 
I think every young team needs some old voices down at the end, or they'll never be anything more than a young team. Hollins is a pretty worthless player, but then again, you're 12th man should be worthless. If he's Hakeem Olajuwon, and you're giving him 12th man minutes, you've got a problem.
 
Not that I don't enjoy these threads, but why start with Hollins and Sessions? Would love to see your work on some guys who played meaningful minutes for us.

Saving the "best"for last

As far as Ryan I thought he always played hard and seemed like a good team mate and would have been a good guy to help the team environment.
 
Hollins does not belong in the NBA. Let alone the NBA-D. Not sure why he deserved a "year in review" thread. He didn't do anything.

Dang. Some of you are certainly harsh.

'89 Kings Fan is putting in a lot of effort, working from the bottom up to provide us with some pretty interesting material. I'm looking forward to his future posts as he gets to the players who actually do matter.

Keep up the good work, 89KF. :)
