Thursday evening, seven former Illinois prep athletes saw minutes in a NBA game. Below I look into and share each of their NBA performances from March 25.

Best of the Day: Richaun Holmes

Lockport’s Richaun Holmes has solidified himself as top-ten center in the NBA. This season, he has several career-best which include 14.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 65 percent shooting from the field. His field goal percentage is also the highest in the NBA.
