2022-23 Atlanta Hawks player preview: Justin Holiday

Justin Holiday is back on the Atlanta Hawks.

The veteran small forward was traded during the offseason from the Sacramento Kings with Moe Harkless (who was later waived) and draft compensation for Kevin Huerter. The trade helped shed some cap space, and also gave the Hawks a dependable forward that knows how to get the job done.

There's nothing flashy about Holiday’s game, but he's the player that any team would want. He rarely misses games, and he’s a reliable 3-and-D player that you can plug into any lineup. Last year, the Hawks did not have consistent forward depth behind De’Andre Hunter, and in the second half of the season, all they had was Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Kevin Knox behind him.
