Jrue Holiday | Point Guard | UCLA
Class: Freshman Height: 6'3 Weight: 200lbs High School: Campbell Hall Hometown: N Hollywood, CA College Stats |
Strengths: Replacing Westbrook as UCLA's combo guard. Excellent PG skills and ball handling ability. Has tremendous size if he does play PG in the NBA at 6'4 and a shade over 200lbs. Has explosive "to the basket" moves, and has great athleticism. Very high BBall IQ, and is a great student of the game. He shows the willingness to learn, and all coaches that have coached him in the past rave about how good of a kid he is. Even if he is converted to a full time PG either in college or in the NBA I have no doubt that Holiday will be willing to learn, and be one of the best. His "no nonsense" approach to the game is a much welcomed site.
Weaknesses: At this point Holiday is a combo guard. He wont be the best ball handler at UCLA (Collison) and being that Collison is back this season for his Senior year I am not sure how much Holiday will get to play the pure PG role. He needs to develop a more consistent outside game. In practice it's lights out, but in game time situations he is a bit streaky.
