Height at the 1st position, playing style at the 2nd position! Is the situation of the Rockets substitute backcourt a bit worrying?

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Utah Jazz 140-127 at home. After this game, the Rockets achieved two consecutive wins in the preseason and currently have a record of 2 wins and 0 losses, while the Jazz suffered two consecutive losses in the preseason and currently have a record of 0 wins and 2 losses.

In this game, the performance of the Rockets' substitute backcourt player Aaron Holiday was not particularly ideal. Holiday played 18 minutes and 13 seconds, making 4 of 8 shots and 3 of 6 from beyond the three-point line. He scored 11 points and 2 rebounds. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-minus of +4. It seems that Holiday's offensive efficiency is pretty good, and he has also shown quite good shooting ability, but from the actual situation, Holiday seems a bit unique on the offensive end. He tried to attack independently, but his ability in this area is relatively limited, and he has not shown his ability in organization and series. Holiday's performance on the defensive end can only be regarded as so-so, and he also has no outstanding performance. Overall, Holiday's performance is not bad, but from a higher standard, his influence on the game is actually relatively limited. Although another backup point guard, JD Davison, is not as good as him in terms of shooting stability, he is definitely far better than Holiday in terms of court control ability.

In the NBA regular season last season, Holiday played a total of 62 times in 82 games, averaging 12.8 minutes per game. He averaged 5.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 0.6 turnovers and 1 foul. He shot 43.7% from the field, 39.8% from the three-point range, and 82.9% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Holiday only got a total of 3 playing opportunities, averaging 9.1 minutes per game, averaging 4 points, 0.7 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.3 turnovers and 1 foul. He shot 40% from the field, 40% from the three-point range, and 50% from the free throw line. In the previous preseason game when the team defeated the Atlanta Hawks, Holiday made 2 of 12 shots, 2 of 9 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws in 20 minutes and 22 seconds of playing time. He scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-minus of +5.

In these two preseason games, Holiday has been constantly trying to take outside shots. His condition and feel are actually relatively unstable. On the other hand, Holiday's performance in organization and connection is not ideal, and his role on the defensive end is not particularly obvious. Judging from Holiday's playing style, he is more like a second-position player, and his height is on the short side among first-position players. Now, in the preseason, Holiday's style of play won't seem particularly out of place. After the regular season begins, as the intensity of the game increases, Holiday's style of play may cause serious problems. Next, we can also see if Holiday can adjust his state and performance in the next games. Can he show more comprehensive personal abilities?
