Jrue Holiday
PG

UCLA
He has a deceptive 1st step and shifty quickness making him difficult to contain on the perimeter. Jrue is adept using both hands but predictability limits his finishing acumen. A combo guard that can defend up a position or 2 pretty easily, Holiday has an incredibly long frame and arms, which allow him deflect passes, gather steals, and deny entry into driving lanes. Puts in a good effort defensively, where he enjoys being aggressive and pressuring ballhandlers. Has good hands, anticipates well and uses his wingspan to get many deflections, a solid number of blocks for a guard, and clean looks from three. He is unselfish and possesses good court vision and has shown glimpses of being able to run a team full time, but will need reps at point guard full time to generate point guard level assists and sew up a slightly loose handle. The hardest choice for his next team will be deciding how to use his skills, as he is stuck between positions because he has not proven that he can be a consistent scorer as a SG or that his decision making will translate to the next level as a PG. However, his potential is high and his situation at UCLA didn't do him any favors for his draft stock.
