is he any good?

He could be a good rotation player maybe starter in the right situation. Good size. Some playmaking ability. He’d still be part of the Spurs young core if he didn’t show his dick.
 
Jrue to the Celtics
 
If (and is a big IF) Porzingis is healthy in the playoffs, those guys are going to be the stiffest competition for the nuggets.
 
Portland made out like bandits.

I guess Jrue was a bigger part of the Dame trade than we thought.

The Blazers are set up for the next few years. Curious to see if they can get out of Grant’s contract.

I am a casual Celtic fan. Can you please explain his game using examples from something I understand, say Lord of the Rings?

Certainly!

Jrue Holiday is the Faramir of basketball. Just as Faramir was a relentless defender of Gondor, Jrue is one of the best perimeter defenders in the game, locking down opponents with his tenacity. Like Faramir's dedication to his people, Jrue prioritizes team success over personal glory, distributing the ball with precision and setting up his teammates for victory.

  • Lockdown Defender: Jrue Holiday, like Faramir, is a lockdown defender. Just as Faramir defended Gondor's borders with vigilance, Jrue guards the perimeter with tenacity, making it incredibly challenging for opponents to score from outside.
  • Stealing the Spotlight: Similar to how Faramir's heroics often go unnoticed amidst the grand battles in Middle-earth, Jrue's defensive skills might not always make headlines, but they are crucial to his team's success.
  • Distributive Leadership: Faramir's leadership style is centered around the welfare of his people, and Jrue's playmaking reflects this approach on the basketball court. Jrue excels in distributing the ball to his teammates, setting them up for easy baskets, just as Faramir ensures his soldiers are in the best position to succeed.
  • Assists as Strategy: Much like Faramir's strategic thinking in battle, Jrue's assists are a strategic tool for his team's offense. He anticipates the movements of his teammates, setting up plays that maximize their strengths.
  • Quiet Dominance: Faramir's quiet, determined leadership mirrors Jrue's on-court presence. Jrue may not always draw attention with flashy plays, but his consistent excellence in defense and playmaking is the bedrock of his team's success.
He may not always steal the spotlight, but his quiet dominance in defense and playmaking is the foundation of his team's success.
