After a one-day hiatus for Media Day, we’ve reached the formality stage of our yearly exercise as voters decided that Jrue Holiday was the third-most important player to the Bucks’ postseason success.
The most recent addition to the Bucks’ big three, Holiday came as advertised last year by delivering a massive boost to Milwaukee’s backcourt running the point. A 17.7 PPG, 6.1 APG, 4.5 RPG, and 1.6 SPG regular season was further decorated with a First Team All-Defense selection, the second of his career (he’s also taken Second Team honors once). That stat-sheet stuffing line looks even better when you notice that he hit a career-best 50.
