Since the start of December, Jrue Holiday has been performing like the All-Star that the Pelicans thought they had traded for over two years ago. His per 36 minute averages during the final month of 2015 were spectacular: 20.2 points, 6.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.6 threes. January has proven just as tantalizing: 20.6 points, 8.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.2 threes. Advanced stats are supportive as well with a 22.3 PER in December and a nearly identical 22.2 PER for this current month.
Not surprising, Holiday has raised his value in the eyes of front offices around the league.
