The Goods Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 ORLANDO - Although Jrue Holiday's numbers at this Orlando Pro Summer League might appear unimpressive, most NBA scouts remain impressed. Through four games, Holiday is averaging 8.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.75 assists, 1.75 steals, 3.5 turnovers, and 0.8 blocks a game, hardly overwhelming numbers for the 76ers' first-round draft pick. Yet there is something about his play, his fundamentally sound outside shot, his solid ball handling, his aggressive, on-balance defense that has many NBA insiders believing the Sixers got lucky when the 19-year-old dropped to the 17th pick. "If you're Philly and he drops to you, it's a no-brainer," one NBA scout said.

JWaLL Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I was watching him play on the live NBA.com summer league feed, he definitely hustles and plays with more energy than most players. That's going to be an important factor down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 well i guess considering hes 19 he has alot of time to improve, but so far im not surprised he fell that far in the draft. I was more surprised when people were saying hed go top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 lol Smitty you love the Sixers rookie every year lol His numbers don't look too impressive in the summer league games and unfortuantely I havn't watched any of the games. They certainly weren't translating to W's though either. Jrue seems like a nice defensive player right now, but his offensive game needs a lot of work.
