The arrival of Jrue Holiday in the 2023-24 NBA season has brought a sense of optimism to the Boston Celtics. One of the standout facets of Holiday’s game is his defense. The UCLA alum possesses a unique ability to disrupt screens and navigate them effectively.
This makes it exceedingly challenging for opponents to execute the pick and roll or pick and pop. His defensive skills will help the Celtics’ on the defensive end of the court, especially when employing a defensive strategy like drop coverage. Moreover, the addition of Holiday and his defensive versatility helps make the Celtics into a switchable defensive nightmare for their opponents when they want to play that way.
The host of the “Cattles on Causeway” podcast recently took a deep dive into what Holiday will bring to Boston this season.
