Throughout this season I regularly read or heard comments decrying Jrue Holiday’s offensive abilities and skills. That he’s a really good defender, but his performances on the scoring side of the ball will always hold him or his team back.
I didn’t agree then and I most certainly don’t agree now.
Cole Zwicker published an interesting article earlier this week on The Step Back, pointing out that most top guards in the NBA are among the most feared shooters off the dribble. Among other things, he noted the importance of pull-up field goal attempts for decision makers and their correlation to the Offensive Real Plus Minus stat.
