Okay, let’s talk about Jrue Holiday and Marcus Smart. I’ve been digging into their stats lately, and it’s been quite a ride. Let me walk you through what I did.
First Steps
First, I opened up my browser and started with a general search. I simply typed “Jrue Holiday vs Marcus Smart” into the search bar. This gave me a bunch of articles and comparison websites. I spent some time reading through these, just to get a basic idea of what people were saying about these two.
Diving Deeper
After that, I decided to get into the numbers. I visited a few different stats websites. These sites had detailed season-by-season breakdowns for both players. I started with their most recent seasons and worked my way back to their rookie years.
- Noting down points per game, assists, rebounds, and steals.
- Checking out their shooting percentages.
- Comparing their playoff performances, especially in recent years.
Head-to-Head
Then, I looked specifically at their head-to-head matchups. It was kinda cool to see how they performed directly against each other. I found a website that listed all their matchups, complete with the scores of each game and their individual stats for those games.
Summarizing
Once I had all this data, I started putting it together in a spreadsheet. It was a bit messy at first, but it helped me see the trends. For example, I noticed that Holiday generally outperformed Smart in terms of points and assists, but Smart had a slight edge in steals.
What I Learned
After all this, I came away with a better understanding of these two players. It’s clear that Holiday is the better offensive player, averaging 16.8 points compared to Smart’s 12.5. I mean Holiday has 6.3 dimes and 4.2 boards, and he has recorded 1435 steals. But Smart definitely holds his own defensively. Their playing styles are pretty different, but both bring a lot to their teams. Some folks even say that when we talk about defense, it is a wash.

So, that’s my little deep dive into Jrue Holiday vs. Marcus Smart. Hope you guys find it interesting. I just wanted to share my process and what I learned along the way.
