As the Houston Rockets enter the season with an entirely revolutionized offense, a serious weakness still remains in their lack of bona-fide ball-handlers behind veteran guard Fred VanVleet.
Yet, with the departure of Jalen Green in the trade for Kevin Durant, it is likely that 28-year-old Aaron Holiday will be asked to take on a larger role in the backcourt this season, and, given the team's decision to sign depth at other positions this offseason, it is evident that they trust Holiday's numbers to hold up at higher volume.
Although Holiday, at this point in his career, has certainly settled into his spot as a role player, he has a solid perimeter shot, and increasing his minutes could be a gamble that pays off for the Rockets.
