Aaron Holiday has two family members also in the NBA (Jrue Holiday, and Justin Holiday), which should help with his experience and basketball IQ. Holiday will struggle to get point guard minutes in Houston during 2024-25 unless there are several injuries. But he offers the Rockets extra depth if they need it. I’ve always valued Holiday’s defensive ability and attitude toward the game. 8/30/2024
