Jrue Holiday is making better choices, and the result is more buckets

Related Topics: Jrue Holiday, Free throw

Jrue Holiday came to the New Orleans Pelicans with two serious issues to correct: shot selection and turnovers. As Rohan pointed out in the immediate aftermath, Holiday took far too many long twos, failed to get to the free throw line, and turned the ball over at a troubling rate. Prior to last season I again beat the drum of shot selection, as Holiday had inexplicably decreased the number of 3-point shots he attempted and had a significant drop in free throw attempts.

If there is one area that Alvin Gentry's offense has succeeded, it is in improving Holiday's shot selection.
