Do Not Draft Jrue Holiday in Fantasy Hoops This Year

Jrue Holiday has a very fantasy-friendly game. He's been a top-75 asset in both 8- and 9-category leagues in each of his last five seasons on a per game basis, topping out at 27th overall in both formats just last year.

During his 2014-15 campaign, he averaged 14.8 points, 1.3 three-pointers, 3.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 2.3 turnovers per contest, while shooting 44.6% from the field and 85.5% from the free throw line.

The assists and steals were on the high end of the fantasy value spectrum, while the points, threes, and free throw percentage were all above standard-league average.
