I won't believe it if you tell me they don't read LG.
Jrue Holiday's brother, Justin, is a star about to be discovered. 6' 6", 25 yrs old, he's on the Warriors' summer squad and in game 1 showed he's a quick leaper on a tip dunk over bigs, hitting numerous jump shots (with good touch beyond the arc), showing a smooth free throw stroke, and a good handle with good speed and quickness. He scored 29 and had 14 rebs on 9-15 shooting. I also saw him block at least 1 shot with a good display of D.
Holiday is a former D Leaguer who last played in Hungary.
Last year I spotted Ian Clark who earned himself a 3 yr contract after playing well in 2 summer leagues. I'll be watching Holiday the rest of the SPL. I know scouts will too. This guy definitely has talent. |

I liked that guy before he got drafted. First Summer League, he didn't look good.
"Too skinny."
"No ball-handling"
"Can't shoot."
But he's a 3 and D player and the passing came from nowhere. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

We're gonna need at least one 3 and D wing anyway. Johnson, Aminu (who is really just a "d" because he cannot shoot 3's), Holiday - somebody. |

They need a cheap youngster who can play and be an asset. It would be nice if they could spot talent like that the way the Spurs did with Roger Mason, picking up Danny Green after cutting him (twice?) and their other 3 pt shooting pg from last season (forgot his name). |

I didn't see the end of the game against the Lakers Monday but he showed a good outside shot again. He had 20 pts when I last saw in the 4th qtr |
