Who is left for Cavs at point guard after Day 1 of Free Agency?

Cavs point guard options after Day 1 of Free Agency: Aaron Holiday

The youngest of the three Holiday brothers in the NBA, Aaron Holiday has struggled to find a long-term home. After playing the first three seasons of his career in Indiana, starting just 41 of his 182 games, he was traded last summer to the Washington Wizards, who flipped him later in the year to the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns don’t appear to want him either, and he is an unrestricted free agent at the age of 25. Holiday is far from a washout, however. He is a career 37.3 percent shooter from deep and is nowhere near as streaky as some of his point guard compatriots, hitting at least 33.9 percent of his 3s every season and 36.8 ever year but his rookie one. As a career 84 percent free-throw shooter, the tough is real.

Holiday is also a good defender, an important factor in a backup point guard for a team with defensive sieves on the second unit. Signing a score-only guard like Lou Williams or Isaiah Thomas could juice the bench offense, but a team trying to survive with some combination of Collin Sexton, Caris LeVert and Kevin Love needs point-of-attack defense.

To extend his career in a meaningful way, Holiday will need to get stronger to improve his finishing inside the arc, but most of all he will need to dial back the score-first mentality to focus a bit more on facilitating. That’s his path to finding success with the Cavs or someone else.

Holiday fits their timetable beautifully and would be a great addition using the Bi-Annual Exception or a portion of the Mid-Level. While Neto is solid and Rubio has a track record of success, Holiday would be my top target for the Cavs now that the dust has settled after a whirlwind Day 1 of Free Agency.
