In a second deadline move within about a half hour, the Phoenix Suns found a more reliable depth guard to possibly take Elfrid Payton’s spot in the depth chart.
Phoenix used money from Dario Saric’s disabled player exception to acquire Holiday, bringing up the rare instance of a Robert Sarver-owned team sending cash considerations.
Holiday doesn’t play a ton — just 16.2 minutes — but has a good baseline of competence, like an assist:turnover ratio of 1.9:1.
According to Basketball Reference, Holiday is in the 84th percentile in finishing efficiency, and has shot 39% on 18 pull-up threes, which isn’t a great sample, but good indications nonetheless.
