The Verdict on Aaron, in One Read
On the field, Aaron Holiday grades out as a shaky PG for Houston Rockets (D+ Impact). That places him 86th of 93 graded point guards. In his on-court role, the grade is poor (F Role), reflecting how he produces relative to others at his position. The money matches the play — the Contract Value Index lands at D, a slight overpay. The public read is positive (B Sentiment), drawn from current news and social signal rather than the box score.

Contract Value Index (CVI)
D
Below Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
Aaron Holiday's contract with the Houston Rockets is graded as a D CVI. At $2.3M per year, the team is currently paying more than the on-court production warrants — a gap that needs to close for this deal to work out. Aaron's production is currently below the league median for point guards, which is the main factor pulling the CVI grade down. His $2.3M average annual value ranks as minimum-level money for the point guard market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — the team is paying a premium above the player's on-court value. At 29, Aaron is in his prime productive window — exactly when teams want their highest-paid players performing at their peak. The 1-year deal limits the Houston Rockets' downside — if the fit doesn't work, they'll have cap flexibility soon.
