    Doug Collins and the Philadelphia 76ers want Jrue Holiday to be the primary ballhandler this season with Andre Iguodala and Louis Williams departed.

    "Last year we had three or four guys who could handle the ball," said Collins. "In many instances, Jrue would give the ball up and get off the ball. Then maybe Lou might handle it, or 'Dre, or Evan [Turner] might handle it."

    Turner will continue to get opportunities to handle the ball, but the intent is for Holiday to handle it as often as possible.

    "This year we've married a lot more of our action where we want Jrue, anytime he can, to be the guy with the ball," Collins said.

    Collins has said that Holiday will also play off the ball when the team goes to a smaller lineup.
