New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday has plenty of time on his hands, so he took to Reddit to field some fan questions.

Here are the highlights from his "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) session.

Toughest opponent:

I know he hasn't been on the floor in a bit, but Derrick Rose is definitely one of them. He's one of the biggest challenges I've encountered. Just how explosive he is, smart he is and how easy he can score.

And then I'd have to say Damian Lillard. He can shoot and get to the basket. Every time we played them this year, he hit a clutch bucket. He has no conscious. No nerves. He's got a toughness to him.

Best handles:

There are 3 people I think of. One is Tyreke Evans. His handle is crazy. And another is Kyrie, he's caught me a bunch of times with his crossovers. Him and Tyreke definitely have a streetball edge to their handle.

And the other is Chris Paul, I think that one's pretty obvious. He can look you off and fake you out so easily.

World Cup predictions

I'd like to see Team USA do better than what's expected. They're not predicted to go far, but I'd definitely like to see them surprise the world.

On the "coolest" New Orleans Saints players

The coolest one that I know would probably be Cam Jordan. Cam actually came to my wedding. He's a Pro-Bowler, but that guy is a clown and a really funny guy. He dates one of my good friends and so he was at my wedding.That was actually the first time I met him.

On his undying love for Pelicans forward Anthony Davis:

He makes the game really easy. Just throw it to him in the post and he can make something happen, get to the line and score down low. Or just throw the ball somewhere up near the backboard and he'll go get it. As long as it's even somewhat close, he's gonna go get it.

Holiday also cast his vote for Davis as the "biggest clown" and "most likely to improve".
