Jrue displayed the all-around point guard play that made scouts drool when he was a senior in high school. On the ball defense (did you see the frustration on Gilbert Arenas when he was stripped driving to the basket?), team defense, ball pressure, court vision, shot from distance. A more complete 9 minutes and 40 seconds could not have been asked for from anyone in the league, much less from the youngest player in the league.
Within a minute of game time Jrue Holiday stripped Gilbert Arenas on a drive and blocked Antawn Jamison's shot.
The best play of the night from Jrue? Not the three 3 pointers, or the Gilbert Arenas strip. Not the tip in on the break or the Antawn Jamison block. The play that made me excited for the future was the dime to Jason Smith on the pick and roll. That kind of timing and vision, to wait for the passing lane to open up and thread the needle, is an innate skill that is generally not taught or learned. The kid's going to be special.
