When Justin Holiday signed his $9 million, two-year deal with the Bulls this offseason, the 28-year-old guard was an anchor to a team spinning out of control. Holiday, who originally departed in the Rose-to-NYC deal, is a clear veteran among a cluster of kids (and Robin Lopez).
Since assuming a starting role on the 2017-2018 Bulls, the guard has been incredibly effective. Holiday is playing some of the best basketball on the roster, averaging a team-high 18.3 points per contest.
It’s also worth noting that Holiday is leading the team in minutes so far, as he’s on the court about 36 minutes a night.
