UCLA guard Aaron Holiday, younger brother of current NBA players Jrue and Justin, is the kind of NBA prospect that can make a GM look like a genius at the end of first round. In a league filled with elite point guards, he may not have the ceiling to be a perennial All-Star, but he has a skill set that could help him carve out a valuable niche for the right team.
The concerns about Holiday are valid – he’s already 22 and, at 6’1”, he’s undersized and lacks elite athleticism to keep up with NBA athletes. He will largely be confined to the point guard spot and will only be able to play combo guard in specific line-ups.
