Not as much better as many people think. He gets more steals, but he just hasn't been the harassing PG that many people give him credit for. He has a tendency to get lazy and our rotations are really not that much better than last year.
Vasquez is nowhere close to the defender that Holiday is. Those are just a couple of numbers that might make it look like that is true. Holiday is better offensively and defensively. A main reason Holiday's numbers are down from last year is because he is playing about 6 less minutes per game than he did last season (and about 3 less than Vasquez did last season) which is a great number since I think we are just seeing the start of how good the Pelicans' 2nd team can be.

I didn't like the trade at first, but it kind of grew on me over time. I still think Davis and Holiday are a nice foundation to build on. They just need to develop a little more chemistry and Holiday needs to be more careful with the ball (something that comes with age fortunately). I wish we would have paid a little less, but it's too late for all that now.

The problem is that Holiday has not played up to his potential or reputation on the defensive end.

Absolutely not true and the numbers bear it out. Even without the only defensive stats that PER recognizes, Vasquez has a higher PER than Holiday.

Vasquez is playing less, too. Feel free to compare them objectively.
