Jrue Holiday: A-

MILWAUKEE, WI – FEBRUARY 25: Jrue Holiday
MILWAUKEE, WI – FEBRUARY 25: Jrue Holiday /

Since January 14, only two players have averaged 20 points and six assists per game on 50% from the field. One is Jrue Holiday, and yes, the other one is exactly who you are thinking; LeBron James. For the second term in a row, Jrue Holiday has been terrific on both sides of the ball. Offensively, he has gotten those fantastic numbers, while improving the Pels offense by 3.6 points per 100 possessions while on the floor. He has been brilliant in isolations, and pick and rolls, and has been able to play off of the ball. On the other end, he improves the Pels defensive rating by 7.6 points per 100 possessions.

The only reason why Holiday has an ‘A-’ and not an ‘A,’ is due to his underwhelming three-point shooting. But nevertheless, Holiday has played stupendous basketball for this term.
