Pre-2021-22 Rank: #47, Pre-2022-23 Rank: #43, Pre-2023-24: #40

Peak Period: From 2016-17 to 2023-24.

Every team wants a player like Jrue Holiday.

Jrue Holiday was an All-Star in 2013 (his last season in Philadelphia), and it took another ten, which coincidentally was his last year in Milwaukee, to earn a second trip.  In between, Holiday joined a particular group that won an NBA Championship (with Milwaukee) and an Olympic Gold Medal (with the United States) in the same year.  

How do you top that?

You do it again.

Last season, his first in Boston, Holiday played a substantial role in the Celtic’s record-breaking 18th Title, and months later, he again won Gold for the United States. 

Holiday may never be a superstar, but he is one of the most coveted roster players of the last ten years.  That could be worth a look from the powers that be in Springfield.
