While Khris Middleton has only featured in seven games in the 2022-23 season, Jrue Holiday has undoubtedly been the No. 2 scoring option for the Milwaukee Bucks this season. Being one of the best two-way players in the league, Holiday's hard-fought efforts always get out shadowed by the heroics of Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, that is not the case for NBA Analyst - Justin Termine, who recognizes the 'game' of Jrue in the truest form.
Termine picked Jrue Holiday as a better player for any team over Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and Jalen Brunson, as he brings more to the table in terms of overall contribution.
The NBA Analyst said, "I'd rather have Jrue Holiday than guys like Harden, Kyrie, and Brunson… he's a guy that you can't take advantage of defensively."
