Holiday stepped into the void left by Lonzo Ball and Bryce Alford with impressive effectiveness. He was among the best point guards in the country, leading an inconsistent Bruins team to the NCAA Tournament while moving into the first round conversation.

The Hawks, having already added Bamba to their frontcourt, can add to their perimeter depth with a high-end shooter and capable playmaker. Dennis Schroder is the undisputed starter, but Holiday has a clear path to earning backup point guard minutes from day one.

Joining his brothers Jrue and Justin, expect Holiday to stick around as a steady hand and solid complimentary piece at the NBA level.
