8. Jrue Holiday 2009-present

Played with the Philadelphia 76ers and is currently with the New Orleans Pelicans

Holiday was another one-and-done that did not exactly fit into Ben Howland’s system. Though he was a point guard, he was made to move over to the #2 spot as Darren Collison, who came back for his final year of eligibility, was the lead candidate at the #1 spot.

With two PGs, it made for some awkward basketball at times and did not exactly lift the Bruins to Final Four status as it did the three seasons before. Still, Holiday had the tools to jump to the NBA after one season of college ball.

Holiday spent four seasons with the lowly 76ers, but seems to have finally gotten the chance to make his mark on a team when he was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans.
