How much does Jrue Holiday help the Boston Celtics, actually?

The Boston Celtics have made a significant move in trading for former Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday, marking a crucial shift in their offseason roster overhaul. This trade, involving big man Robert Williams III and the NBA’s 2023 Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon and draft picks, needs to be considered within the broader context of the Celtics’ moves, including the acquisition of star center Kristaps Porzingis.

Holiday’s efficiency as a spot-up shooter is impressive, which is crucial for the Celtics, as he is expected to play more of an off-ball role. His ability to knock down spot-up opportunities complements the scoring abilities of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

The folks behind the Alex Hoops YouTube channel recently put together a clip talking us through how much Holiday’s addition changes the team’s fortunes.

Take a look at the video embedded above to see it.
