Getting to watch him in the play-offs this year, I became a fan. There are so many talented PGs in the league and Holiday will probably be underrated his entire career but it'll be very fun watching him develop.
@Ginga yeah... i dont know why i even wrote jamal lol. Rose, Holiday, Collison, Westbrook, Lawson, and Wall are going to be the new top tier point guards in a couple years.
I like Jennings more than Collison and Lawson but Westbrook, Holiday and Wall should all be among the best if they continue to develop. Rose is already in that top-tier.
@Ginga im saying all of the guys i listed are the top tier young point guards in the league. Jennings isnt that good in my books I mean he shoots like .37% thats pretty bad if he doesnt develop a better passing game and shoot at least in the .400 hes just going to be known as a chucker.
scouting report: solid set shooter or coming off the dribble. good solid ball handling, doesnt blow by any defeners well nor does he possess a good first step. Jrue will be a good combo guard
i was the same way...wanted Lawson just cause i saw him play more than Holiday...the more info i been findin about Holiday seems like he will be nasty and just needs time...he is young as hell too, just 19...hopefully some stuff i been reading is true. and it may have seemed dumb at first but hopefully down the road we will see why
To watch a 19yr old kid single-handedly shut down Monta Ellis,Mo Williams and Delonte West was truly amazing.
Don't get me wrong Ty Lawson is good,but he is not even on the same planet as Jrue when it comes to playing defense.
Lawson might have the quickness,but Holiday is not a slow poke,and Holiday has the size(6'4") and plamaking ability to be a top notch pg for a long time.
that nigga was cold a muthafucka in highskool but wen he got 2 college he was bullshitin nd he only averaged 8 pts fuck wat anybody says he aint gone b shit... he in a league where the fuckin best r chris paul is gonna fuck over him wen they play... just watch
Wow good thing you don't run an NBA team. a couple summer games, which are his first nba game and he doesn't WOW people and hes already garbage? You don't know shit. Hes going to be and already is a defensive specialist. His offense will come over time. In 2 or 3 years he will be very good. Hes just raw right now and only 19 year old.
I felt Ty Lawson was the better fit for the 76ers because of his speed and passing ability. Holiday seems ok but he lacks speed. He seems more like a combo guard as opposed to Lawson who is known to be a pure PG. Give him a chance though, he could turn out to be a solid NBA player. His upside looks good!! Andre Miller looks like he's on his way out so Holiday will likely be the starting PG from day 1.
Name one guard on the 76ers that should be starting ahead of Jrue. Iguodala plays the 3 spot and Willie Green plays the 2. Andre Miller looks to be on his way out, so with that being said Jrue will likely start at PG.
Lou Who? Louis Williams ain't starting over Jrue. I'm pretty sure the decision was made on Draft day when the Sixers decided to go with Jrue Holiday over Ty Lawson. At the end of the day, Iguodala is the star on that team. With that being said, the offense will be ran threw him anyway. They didn't draft that man over Ty Lawson to sit him down and bring him in off the bench. Anything is possible, but I just don't see it happening bro!!
They drafted Jrue over lawson because Jrue's celing could be higher. Lawson doesn't have as much potential and when you have a 500 club that keeps on getting mediocre picks, you need to take a risky pick like jrue in the draft, based on potential alone. Sixers just can't keep drafting medocre players around 15-19 every year and expect to be good. Jrue could start on day one but im almost positive it will be someone else. Throwing in a raw rookie like him in will only spell disaster.
How do you figure Lawson is a mediocre draft pick with less potential?? Ty Lawson had a solid college career and was a stud at NC. He played there 3 years. He averaged 16 pts, 6 ast, and 2 stls in his junior year. Ain't nothing mediocre about his game. It was a toss up between Lawson and Holiday. Unfortunately the Sixers went with Holiday. Only time will tell us who turns out to be the better Draft Pick. I know one thing, Lawson is going to learn a lot from Chauncey Billups.
Mediocre as in usually players picked in the mid to late teens don't pan out. Fortunatly Jrue fell to us and while yes hes not as good as Lawson right now, Jrue could be a lot better than Lawson because hes younger and has more potential. Yes time will tell but I think the sixers got this one right again. They said his attiude and work ethic was just like Youngs, which was another reason they drafted him. Not to mention lawson will always be a liability on defense...Jrue is already very good.
a good player in college doesnt mean they'll be a good player in the nba. the sixers were draftin on potential, not stats. jrue is only 19. he has much more time to develop than lawson.
and dont forget, people were expecting holiday to go in the top ten.
Drex, you ain't got to tell me this bro. I already know what the Sixers intentions were when they drafted Jrue. I already know a good college player doesn't always turn out to be as great in the pro's. I'm 26 yrs old and I've been following Basketball ever since I could remember picking one up. Look at Joe Smith for example, he's the definition of the word "BUST".
very good point. also, i bet he would have looked a lot better if he had been playing his natural position in the point. he will be one heck of a player in the league if he can put his game together.
@drexelrep couldn't be happier with this kid. he does so much on the court and learns so quickly. he has a long way to go still, but he's covering that ground fast. sixers are going to have a dangerous backcourt in the not so distant future.
Nice mix. This video really showcases Jrue as a patient, polished player. You can just tell he's going to be a heck of a player in the NBA. Great steal for the 76ers.
hes overrated he is not a lottery pick yet people seem to love him...i know he is supposed to be a point guard but that shouldnt affect his production at UCLA as much as it should...there are many better options than him i would much rather take a brandon jennings or johnny flynn over him
it affected his production because he had to play off the ball. jrue is the kind of player that commands the ball and has the offense run through him. he committed to ucla with the idea that he would be running point when collison left, but darren ended up staying one more year. his production last season does not reflect how good he is. he's considered to be a lottery picked based on potential, same with jenning. BJ's stats in europe didn't wow anybody, but he's projected the same way jrue is.
i understand your point and thats what everyone is saying about him but have you been paying attention to the pre-draft workouts... in all of the point guard workouts holiday has been getting dominated by smaller guards such as johnny flynn and brandon jennings...i understand hes stats dont reflect how good he is but i dont think it should affect him as much as it did if he was destined to be a great player...he would be able to adjust
i'm a huge knicks fan, and i'd much rather they draft steph curry. and if not curry i'd take jonny flyn before holiday. but holiday isn't bad. good player
curry is an alright nigger but hes not a pure nigger
Flynn has the vicousness and hops tha niggers inherited thrrough decades of slavery. Curry recieved only half of that. Holiday is aserious looking nigger but his ancstors must have had it easier, dude doesnt get to high off the ground. Just my analysis guys, solid draft this year
Holiday will end up a very, very good point guard. Not really a star like some, but he will be a key peice to any team in a few years.
