29, Holiday showed off his promise in an early-season game against Florida International in which he scored 20 points on 8-for-8 shooting from the field. He also shot 30.7 percent from behind the arc and hit 0.8 three-pointers per contest. Holiday averaged 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game. The 6-foot-3 guard shared the backcourt with senior and future NBA veteran Darren Collison and started all 35 games as a freshman. Holiday played one season (2008-09) of college ball at the University of California, Los Angeles with coach Ben Howland. Fans can follow the point guard on Twitter and Instagram (jrue_holiday11). With New Orleans during the 2017-18 season, Holiday donated nearly 3,000 Pelicans tickets to underprivileged children. Jrue then played one year of ball at UCLA before turning pro. After his senior high school season, Jrue was named the 2008 Gatorade National Player of the Year and a Parade Magazine First Team All-American. As a senior, Holiday averaged 25.9 points, 11.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 4.8 steals per game, leading the team to a California Division IV state title. Jrue's younger brother, Aaron, also plays in the Association. As a freshman, Jrue helped Campbell High to a perfect 32-0 mark along with older brother Justin, who went on to play in the NBA. For high school, Holiday attended Campbell Hall School, which is in the Studio City portion of L.A. Jrue's parents both played college basketball at Arizona State, where Toya was named Pac-10 Player of the Year in 1982. Jrue Randall Holiday was born in 1990 in the Chatsworth neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The Bucks are bringing back essentially the same roster, with Holiday acting as option 2B with Khris Middleton behind superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. There's no expectation that the 32-year-old's role will change in 2022-23. The total package resulted in Holiday ranking 28th in per-game fantasy value for eight-category leagues - his fifth straight campaign in the top 30.
Last year, the UCLA product put up splits of 50/41/76. Holiday has also become more efficient in the Bucks' offense than at previous stops in Philadelphia and New Orleans. His offensive production remained steady last year, too, as he averaged 18.3 points, 6.8 assists and 4.5 rebounds, marking the fifth straight season he's put up at least 17 points, six assists and four rebounds per game. Behind his 2.0 combined steals-plus-blocks per game, the veteran was named to the All-Defensive Second Team last season after being on the First Team in 2020-21. Holiday continues to demonstrate that he's one of the best two-way guards in the NBA.
