The NBA Annual Rookie Survey showed that LeBron James is by far and away this class' favorite player, but one particular rookie had room for more than one favorite in his heart.
Aaron Holiday, who was drafted with the 23rd overall selection by the Indiana Pacers, was obviously the one giving brothers Jrue and Justin a combined vote as honorable mentions along the likes of Kyrie Irving and James Harden.
Brotherly love ❤️

Nothing like some brotherly love for the Holiday family, who has made waves at UCLA during the past decade as Jrue and sister Lauren both starred for the Bruins' basketball teams.
Justin played at the University of Washington and went undrafted in 2011, but found a niche with the Golden State Warriors in 2014-15 after several short-lived stints overseas and in the G League (formerly D League).
Needless to say, the basketball blood runs deep in this family and there's no shame admitting the bias on picking his older brothers as his role models.
Aaron is bound to bring a new flavor to this Pacers team, as perhaps the deadliest 3-point shooter of the Holiday siblings, as a perennial 40-plus-percent shooter throughout his three years at UCLA.
