Trail Blazers and Team Reporter: Holiday will definitely become the starter after joining the team!

Recently, Portland Trail Blazers reporter Mike Richman talked about the team's new backcourt player Jrue Holiday's possible role in the Trail Blazers lineup in the new season in the new season.

Richman said: The team's purpose of trading for Holiday is obviously very clear, and they will definitely arrange for him to be the team's starting and backcourt. I would be very surprised if he was finally arranged to play as a substitute in the new season. As he gets older, he may start to transform in the future, but at least in the new season, he will definitely be the starting defender of the Trail Blazers. Although he is not the traditional point guard, in my opinion, he is still the best choice to start and backcourt. Richman continued: With Holiday locked a starting seat, the Blazers still have three starters who are unstoppable, Deni Avidija and Toumani Camara, who will form the team's starting line partner, and Donovan Clingan will take the starting center position.

In the NBA regular season last season, Holiday was affected by injuries in 82 games, with a total of 62 appearances on behalf of his old club, the Boston Celtics, averaging 30.6 minutes per game, averaging 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 35.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 90.9%. In the playoffs, Holiday made 8 appearances in total, with averaging 33 minutes per game, with averaging 9.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He also had 2 turnovers and 3.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 48.3%, his three-point shooting percentage was 34.6%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 69.2%.

In a previous deal, the Celtics sent Holiday to the Trail Blazers and obtained backcourt scorer Anfernee Simons from the Trail Blazers. From the perspective of the Trail Blazers, since they chose to take Holiday, it also shows that they are very optimistic about his ability, and they also hope that his arrival can bring something different to the team. Next, the Trail Blazers are left with only one starting position and basically this candidate will be produced between Soot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe. Considering the different positions of the two players, Holiday also needs to adapt to different changes. He also needs to complete various switching positions in the first and second positions and constantly adjust his responsibilities on the court. This is actually a big test for him.
