Holmes netted four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) in Philadelphia’s 107-100 Monday loss to the Cavaliers.

The rookie power forward has seemed to be the first option off the bench for the 76ers behind fellow young big men Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel. These two rising stars are going to be hard for Holmes to steal minutes from, and it’s hard to tell how reliable he will be this early on. Also, Holmes will continually battle with Christian Wood for backup minutes.
