Jrue Holiday, Emerging Star?
By Jason McIntyre
The 17th pick in the 2009 draft – after not starting or putting up good numbers at UCLA playing behind Darren Collison – Holiday’s explosive series has shown the awesome point guard depth of 09 draft.
Curry and Jennings have been terrific; Lawson has been very good; Douglas and Beaubois have been quality reserves; Rubio hasn’t even played yet, and the jury’s still out on Flynn, Teague and Maynor.
Here’s the order of how they went in first-round of 09 (Douglas was drafted as a SG but has played PG with the Knicks):
Rubio, Flynn, Curry, Jennings, Holiday, Lawson, Teague, Maynor, Collison, Beaubois, Douglas
This is how they might be re-drafted this summer:
Curry, Holiday, Jennings, Lawson, Rubio, Collison, Beaubois, Douglas, Flynn, Maynor, Teague
