This season started so promising for Jrue Holiday. He was generating 16.7 points, 8.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game. The two-time All-Star was also launching 7.1 threes per contest and knocking them down at a 36.5 percent clip.
It looked as though Holiday had found the fountain of youth. Perhaps it was the taxing nature of going from a championship run in his first year with the Boston Celtics right into the Summer Olympics that slowed him in his final season with the C's.
The organization didn't want to make such dramatic changes to its roster this summer.
