Profile:

Coming up with really eloquent and accurate descriptions for ballplayers can be tough, so coaches, scouts and writers often resort to comparisons.

The comparison that Jrue Holiday draws most often: Dwyane Wade.

Loosely translated, that means he's really good.

Holiday has enough of a perimeter game to keep opposing defenders honest -- which allows him to blow by 'em and get to the rim with relative ease.

But unlike so many other players his age, he's also a tremendous defender and an excellent rebounder for his size.

He's more of a scorer than pure point guard, but he's shown the aptitude to run the point when and if needed -- which should serve him well as he strives to replace Darren Collison in the Bruins' backcourt.
