Jrue holiday

[phillyfan0417]

Was wondering what others expected from Jrue Holiday this year? After showing some glimmers last year I fully expect for his to really start to show his abilities this year.


Any chance he's around a 15PPG 6 or 7 assists?

I think he will be a valuable asset to the 76ers... I think he will average nearly double - double.

A few scouts envisioned him as a Chris Paul type of player - that's an overstatement, but who knows?

Here's my small stash:
15/25

13/25

83/99

12/99

If I had to choose three young PG to have breakout seasons?

1. Darren Collison
2. Jrue Holiday
3. Eric Gordon

All are capable of leading their teams and putting up double-doubles. Personally, I think collison will be the best of the three.

I would say 12-13 ppg, 6 assists.

He won't be the first, second, or third option in Philly. They're going to give Evan Turner every opportunity up there. I think Turner is a better player than Holiday; he's certainly more polished offensively. AI still needs his shots, as does Brand, who Doug Collins is apparently giving a reprieve to this year. Not sure what's going on there, except Philly's so weak inside (Speights/Hawes/Brand = yuck) that Brand still has to be the best option being that he's the only guy who's actually done anything meaningful in the NBA.

I think long-term Holiday will develop into a good player if he doesn't develop bad habits this year. AI will be gone soon enough, and Holiday has a chance to be a true slashing point guard.

Still only 20 as well.


Need to scan what I've gotten...

Loved Jrue coming out, was thrilled Philly got him, then mad when his prices went up late in the season.

I'll go with 10 PPG, 8 or 9 APG and Coach Collins will play him more than you would expect 'cuz of his defense.

Would he be heading to Denver in the Anthony Deal, if that were to happen?

I think it would be Thad Young and a couple of others...

Not to be a dick, but I do believe Eric Gordon is a SG, no?

I do agree with you on the first two though and, if anything happens to Mike Bibby, the NBA needs to watch out for Jeff Teague.

As for the question at hand, I see him scoring around 12ppg or so and 7-8 assists, which are solid numbers for a 20 year old PG in the NBA.

Being a long suffering sixers fan, its nice to have a few players worth watching!

My bad. I should have clarified my post.

Top 3 young players to break out.

Not to worry, I really agree with those three.

I have been slowly picking up random Collison cards (mainly NT patches and trying to grab some autos) as I think his cards SHOULD explode even more if he produces like he did last season, for an entire season.

Another guy poised for a breakout, in my opinion, is Kevin Love. I really think he will be a 16-18 and 10 boards as THE man in Minnesota.

From rotoworld:
Doug Collins said on Thursday that he expects Jrue Holiday to be a "Top 5" NBA point guard this season.

you realize that his HEAD COACH is the one saying that right?

 

[blazers091]
