Notes: 2009: Selected by Philadelphia in 1st round (17th overall) of the NBA Draft...2012: Re-signed with Philadelphia to a four-year contract worth $41 million, Oct. 31st...2013: NBA All-Star.
Named to the Pac-10 All-Freshman Team, Holiday decided to make himself eligible for the NBA Draft this year...Despite averaging just 8.5 points per game, Holiday was given a vote of confidence from head coach Ben Howland who believes the youngster has the talent to be a first-round pick...Generated 3.8 rpg, 3.7 apg and 1.6 steals per outing for the Bruins, making him fourth in the league in the latter category and sixth in the Pac-10 in assist/turnover ratio...Regarded as one of the top point guard prospects heading into the
2008-09 college season, Holiday was the 2008 Gatorade National Player of the Year in high school...Can be an exciting player to watch at times, but it probably would not have hurt had he gained a little more seasoning at the collegiate level.
