The former Bruin legend was slighted in yet another dominant W.
Former one-and-done UCLA Bruins combo guard Jrue Holiday has been the perimeter defensive MVP for Team USA men's basketball in the Paris Olympics thus far.
That made head coach Steve Kerr's decision to bench the 6-foot-4 vet entirely during Team USA's 104-83 victory over Team Puerto Rico on Sunday all the more confounding. Holiday was the only player among the program's 12-man roster to sit out.
Across the two games Holiday has played, he's averaging 10 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the field , three rebounds, two assists, and one steal a night.
