Ricky Rubio isn’t Utah’s long-term solution next to Donovan Mitchell, which means they might look for a better fit via the draft. Holiday will be the top-ranked player on most boards here, making this a relatively easy decision for the Jazz.
With Lonzo Ball and Bryce Alford in the NBA, Holiday emerged as one of college basketball’s most prolific point guards this season. His ability to score off the bounce and operate in the pick-and-roll makes it easy to envision his transition to an NBA offense.
A strong three-point shooter, Holiday also has the ability to survive off the ball. With the Jazz letting Mitchell facilitate the offense on a regular basis, that’s an important trait.
