One thing I worry about with Holiday at SG is that he's just OK as a 3P shooter. That lineup you listed with Rubio they can completely play off of Rubio and Hill to clog up the paint on Cousins and AD. I wouldn't hate Rubio, but that seems like a team that should Grit and Grind, not Space and Pace. If Hill and Holiday are your starting wings and Gentry is the coach, you have to hope they can trade for Dragic. Even Bledsoe gives you some of the same spacing concerns as Rubio because he's not a good 3 point shooter either.

I don't think Rubio is the right fit if our 3 continues to be Solomon Hill.

His spot up shooting is a concern. Limited attempts (28), but only 32% on catch and shoot 3s post trade. Only 35% on the season (69 3PA).

Hes taking about 1.5 catch and shoot 3s/g (up from 1/g pre trade). With Davis/Cousins starting to figure things out some, that will likely go up (right around 2/g over the last 10).

If he can get that number into the 38% range on spot up 3s, he should be fine. I think he can do that, but it's an adjustment for him.
