Indiana Pacers Love/Hate Series: Aaron Holiday
By Ben Pfeifer
No NBA player is perfect, they all have their strengths and weaknesses. In this love/hate series, we will review those attributes for each player on the Indiana Pacers. In this installment, we will take a look at Aaron Holiday.
With the 23rd pick in the 2018 NBA draft, the Indiana Pacers selected Aaron Holiday.
Many analysts and fans alike were excited about drafting the young point guard. Now, after an impressive Summer League, many even believe he should be the starting point guard day one.
Holiday is very talented and has the upside to one day be the starting point guard for an Indiana team that could be contending for a championship in the near future.
Thanks to being the brother of two other NBA players — Jrue and Justin — there are slightly higher expectations thanks to his pedigree. Averaging 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.2 rebounds a game at UCLA also proved something regardless of his family.
However, he does have his weaknesses and as a 21-year-old, will have plenty of growing to do. With all of this being said, let’s get into Aaron Holiday’s strengths and weaknesses.
