As the Houston Rockets attempt to address their devastating loss of starting point guard Fred VanVleet this season, head coach Ime Udoka has stated that the team will utilize a committee approach in attempting to fill the void.
Therefore, while Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard will likely get the first crack at taking on the majority of the resultant workload, Aaron Holiday, who is entering his third season with Houston, could also be a sneaky candidate to make a major impact on the rotation this year.
Holiday, 29, has now been the team's backup point guard for two seasons, and, although he is likely not ready to take a step into starting-caliber range for many teams, the desperateness of the Rockets situation could lead them to lean on Holiday more than they usually would.
