Friday evening, eleven former Illinois prep athletes saw minutes in a NBA game. Below I look into and share each of their NBA performances from February 26.
Best of the Day: Richaun Holmes
Lockport’s Richaun Holmes locked in another double-double after scoring 19 points and grabbing 17 rebounds in a King’s win. His 17 rebounds were one short of tying his career-high. Maybe Shaq will finally learn who he is. He better.
