The New Orleans Pelicans today find themselves in a chase for the final playoff spot in the Western Confrence, despite only having a 16-25 record. A whopping 14 of those wins have occurred with point guard Jrue Holiday in the lineup. New Orleans is 14-11 when Holiday plays this season.
For those who did the math, that means the Pelicans are a porous 2-13 without him. Obviously, that in itself indicates the impact that Holiday has on the team; they are undeniably better with him in the lineup. But how good has he really been?
Coming into this year, the majority of Pelicans fans were clamoring for a Holiday extension.
