2. Aaron, Jrue and Justin Holiday

Jrue Holiday is one of the most underrated stars in the NBA. Aaron and Justin have developed into two underrated rotation pieces in the league. Together, they’re a three-headed monster.

Jrue is 32 years old and shows no signs of slowing down. The guard – part of the brotherly franchise in Milwaukee – continues to play hard-nosed defense and serve as a strong floor general for the Bucks. He’s only been to one All-Star Game, but the 2021 title probably means more anyways.

The guard has missed some time in recent days with an ankle injury, sidelining a critical part of Milwaukee’s two-way play. In 10 games, Holiday is averaging 19.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 7.9 assists per game.

Justin, who won a title with the Golden State Warriors nearly a decade ago, is actually a year older than Jrue. After starting his career in Belgium, he kicked around the G League and has become a journeyman in the NBA. Primarily a starter in recent years, Justin was sent to the Atlanta Hawks in the Kevin Huerter deal in the offseason.

He’s back on the bench this season, averaging 5.8 points per game. He’s playing solid defense like his younger brother, though he could stand to make a few more of his threes.

The youngest of the three is Aaron, a youthful 26 years old. He’s playing alongside Justin in Atlanta, signing a deal with the team during the offseason, his fourth NBA stop.

He’s made a few spots starts off the bench, but has mostly been a reserve for the Hawks. He’s not a big scorer, but he’s putting in maximum effort for more than a dozen minutes every night.

If one of the Antetokoumpo brothers outside of Giannis steps up, they’ll displace the Holiday clan for the second-place slot. As it stands, the Holidays are the best three-headed group of brothers in the NBA this season. They aren’t the best group of brothers period, though.
