2022-23 Atlanta Hawks Player Season Review: Aaron Holiday
When Aaron Holiday signed with the Atlanta Hawks as a free agent this offseason, it formed a family reunion of sorts. The recently traded for Justin Holiday, who also happens to be Aaron’s older brother, Aaron, and then head coach Nate McMillan were all members of the 2019-20 Indiana Pacers. By the end of the season, however, only Aaron remained from that team still in Atlanta. Justin Holiday was traded to the Mavericks at the trade deadline, and McMillan was dismissed as head coach shortly after that.
Atlanta Hawks 2022-23 player preview: Aaron Holiday
The Atlanta Hawks have struggled to generate quality play at the point guard position throughout Trae Young’s career when he has been <em>off </em>the floor. Each season seemingly the club is looking around midseason for a quality backup point option. This offseason, the Hawks made multiple moves to help patch up the non-Young minutes. One of those moves was obviously the trade with San Antonio for Dejounte Murray, while the other was the signing of veteran guard Aaron Holiday.
