    He is pretty good at the "instant offense off the bench" role. When the offense is bogged down, call his number.

    Did IME played him at all during last year playoff? I can't recall.

    He did get some minutes vs GS in the playoffs.

    Lately, he is a "foul first" defender.

    Yeah, Holiday is not a plus defender. He's okay for his size, not totally inept. Him and Reed playing together is risky on the defensive side. Ime did play that double small double big lineup some and it kind worked for short stretches.

    Not a plus, but for small guards, he's one of the better defenders. FVV, Davion Mitchell, and maybe Alvarado (he's more like Reed in that's he's disruptive) are better.

    If Aaron had dreadlocks, he'd look Identical to that player from Portland!

    Dreadlock rasta, on the 12th hour fly by in my bomber. Crews run for cover.

    That Pras story is something out of Michael Clayton.
    Libertad, Pras!

    Calling Jrue a plus defender is almost an insult to Jrue. Jrue in his prime was the best perimeter defender in the league for years.
