Regardless, Holiday figures to see a slight reduction in usage playing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez. Coach Mike Budenholzer also has a tendency to keep his starters' minutes low, though it remains to be seen if Milwaukee's bench will be good enough for that strategy to be as effective as it has been over the past two seasons. Holiday will presumably start at point guard for the Bucks and will still have a significant role, but Milwaukee projects to be just the fifth playoff team he's ever played for - none being remotely as talented as Milwaukee. He'll be in a new role heading into 2020-21, as he was dealt from New Orleans to Milwaukee during the offseason while Eric Bledsoe and George Hill were sent away. Holiday was no stranger to big games either, racking up four games with 30-plus points, 10 double-doubles and one triple-double. In 34.7 minutes per game, he averaged 19.1 points, 6.7 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 threes and 2.4 combined steals-plus-blocks. Holiday had another fringe All-Star campaign in 2019-20, being the lead veteran on the rebuilding Pelicans. After the season, Holiday was named to the Pac-10 All-Freshman Team and declared for the 2009 NBA Draft. The guard followed that game with seven assists in the second-round loss to Villanova. Holiday later helped the Bruins beat VCU in the first round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament with 13 points and six assists. 31, Holiday generated 15 points, six rebounds and five assists during a home win over Stanford. 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.
