NBA today: 5 best brother combos playing in the 2019-20 season

#4 Markieff and Marcus Morris

Marcus and Markieff Morris were the 13th and 14th picks respectively in the 2011 NBA draft. While both players managed to stay afloat amidst the cut-throat individual competition in the league, Marcus has recently broken out of his shell to become a credible presence. Moreover, he possesses a considerable edge over his sibling when it comes to three-point shooting.

Marcus is averaging almost 18 points per game this season far for the New York Knicks, and has not averaged less than 13 ppg across the past four seasons. While Markieff plays at the Power Forward position for the Detroit Pistons, his brother has being occupying the same spot at the Big Apple.

Despite Marcus' recent surge, both players have almost identical career averages of around 11.5 points per game, in line with their identical appearance and tattoos.

#5 Justin, Aaron and Jrue Holiday

Three different paths leading to the same destination

While Jrue Holiday was drafted 17th overall back in 2009, his elder brother Justin had to wait till 2013 to get his shot at an NBA game - a path that went through overseas as well as developmental league basketball. We can only imagine the nerves when their youngest brother was about to be picked in the 2018 draft.

Once Aaron was selected by the Indiana Pacers as the 23rd overall pick, the Holiday family had made it. All three brothers had stepped into the professional arena, while their parents juggled between a ton of games to follow across the country.

“When we are at one game, I'm there watching the game and then I'm also on the app watching another game,” Shawn Holiday said. “If it's somewhere I can't watch it, I go by live play-by-play. I'm always there somehow.”

While Jrue is clearly the most established and talented among his brothers, their collective journey leading to the NBA is something that the Holiday family will remember for generations to come.
