This is a video to showcase the insane defensive year the Jrue Holiday has had.
Here are some cool defensive stats:
- The Pelicans are a whopping 9.2 points per 100 possessions better with Jrue on the court - this surpasses DPOY candidates like Joel Embiid and Rudy Gobert
- Jrue leads the league in blocked shots for a guard 6'4" and under
- How good has Jrue been at the point of attack? When Jrue sits, Pels opponents attack the rim on 38.1% of their possessions, 2nd worst in the league. When Jrue plays, opponents only attack the rim on 32.7% of their possessions. The 5.4% difference puts him in the 96th percentile.For reference, Rudy Gobert is in the 97th percentile, as Jazz opponents attack the rim a full 6% less with him on the court. Who says guard defense isn't important?
Holiday is having the effect of an elite rim protector in deterring drives to the rim.
