With the money they had leftover in 2023 free agency, the Rockets were looking for guard depth. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Aaron Holiday, a former Atlanta Hawks point guard who signed a one-year contract with Houston, is one possible answer. According to The Athletic, the agreement covers the NBA‘s minimum wage.
Holiday, who is 26 years old, is admired for combining excellent 3-point shooting with on-ball defense. The 6-foot-0 guard has averaged 14.8 minutes per game, 5.1 points (39.3% on 3-pointers), and 1.9 assists over the past two seasons.
Aaron Holiday is only able to play point guard because of his size. However, the 2023–24 season may present more floor-general possibilities in the offense under new head coach Ime Udoka because Kevin Porter Jr. will likely play more wing that year.
Holiday and rookie Amen Thompson will be available as backup alternatives at point guard behind recently signed veteran Fred VanVleet. The Rockets also signed experienced free agents Dillon Brooks, Jock Landale, and Jeff Green during the 2023 free agency period.
