Ben DuBose

And I say, down shooting year and basically a two guard.

So there's not a lot of room for him to play.

Great teammate, though.

And Anthony, have you seen the data on him, though?

Eight and two when he scores in double figures, eight and five last season when he's in double figures, six and three this year when he plays 20 plus minutes, four and two last year when he does.

And that's interesting.

And I do think that, you know, Holiday's the kind of guy when he gets hot, that's often the best version of the Rockets, because typically under Emu Doka, they play good defense.

And if you're able to hit threes at volume, then this is generally a team that's going to win a lot of games.

The difficulty, especially when they prioritized playing Reed Shepard a lot off the bench, Imei Yudoka typically doesn't play 10 or 11 guys.

Most teams don't.

And it's tough if you're running, you know, an eight or nine man rotation for two of your three or four guys off the bench being really small point guards.

or at least defensively.

Holiday may be a two-guard in how he plays, but he's got a point guard's body.

And so I think just sort of by default, if you're bringing Reed off the bench, it's tough to give extended minutes to Aaron Holiday as well.

Otherwise, you're just really small.

Well, all of a sudden, if you start Reed Shepard,

There's more of a pathway to play Aaron Holiday without you being too small.

And he's combined for five threes the last two nights.

So he's been a huge part of that volume.

And he had a stretch in the fourth quarter's night where he almost took over the game.
