G Aaron Holiday – Indiana Pacers
Right now, the Indiana Pacers are also focused on finding ways to improve their roster and depth, which is why Aaron Holiday is available cheaper than imagined. Holiday was drafted 23rd overall in 2018, but his time in Indiana has not gone the way he had hoped.
In three seasons with the Pacers, Aaron Holiday has played in a total of 182 games, but he has only averaged 18.9 minutes per game. T.J. McConnell is a more important guard in this Pacers’ system, which is why Aaron Holiday with one year left on his contract could already have one foot out the door in Indiana.
At $3.9M for the 2021-22 season, Holiday is definitely another young player a team looking for some backcourt help could be interested in. He is a solid ball-handler and is smart with the ball in terms of not turning it over too much, but the best part of Holiday’s game is that he can shoot from the perimeter.
He has shot 37.2% from three-point range over the course of the last three seasons and was always a strong perimeter shooter in college at UCLA, so he could definitely be utilized potentially as an off-the-ball catch-and-shoot type of option for a new team in this league.

The Pacers want to add some talent to their roster and are interested in adding another draft pick, so they could definitely be convinced to give up Holiday for even a second-round pick at this point.
