I like Holiday. He's a good player. He's been playing quite well as an off the bench, attacking combo guard. He's taking more 3s and getting to the line more often. Defense is still very good on ball. They should keep him because he can play.

Yet, I just don't see him as the type of PG this system is looking for. His decision making and court vision/awareness are less than what I think is required for a lead ball handler in this type of offense. Maybe the staff can keep working with him and improve some of these things, but after 13K minutes as an NBA guard you likely are who you are.

I don't have access to synergy so I can't verify it, but as of last year, before his injury, Holiday supposedly had become our best pick and roll player with Davis.

We have gotten away from the pick and roll with Davis more then we should but Jrue has shown he is very versatile. Playing off ball as a SG here and in Philly, being an attacker on offense either starting or off the bench or playing the facilitator role. I still want to see what he could do with the reigns to play as our primary facilitator and ball handler with the starters instead off the bench.
