He made the All-PAC-10 Freshman team and declared for the 2009 NBA draft after one season.

NBA Career

Holiday was drafted 17th overall by the Philadelphia 76ers. He contributed significantly to the Sixers from the outset, starting in 51 games as a rookie and scoring a season-high 25 points over the Toronto Raptors.

Holiday was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans in the summer of 2013. The following season he had season-ending surgery after only 34 games. Despite some injury problems, his scoring averages climbed the next few years as he played alongside Anthony Davis, and in 2017-2018 he played 81 games, averaged 19.0 points per game, and was selected for the All-Defensive First Team. The next year his scoring improved even further to 21.2 points per game and an All-Defensive Second Team selection.
