Jrue Holiday has been amongst the best two-way players in the NBA for years now, but his skillset often goes ignored in the NBA spectrum. Such can be the case when you play for a smaller market team that hasn’t had much recent success like the New Orleans Pelicans. However, entering next season he’s surrounded by perhaps the deepest roster he’s ever had—and David Griffin has handed him the keys to the castle.
Last year he put the best numbers of his career and if not for missed time, probably would’ve earned his second All-Defensive First Team honor in as many years.
