UCLA's Aaron Holiday and Thomas Welsh are entering their names into the NBA draft, but they are not hiring an agent, sources told ESPN. Holiday, a 6-foot-1 sophomore, saw a slightly diminished role this season after the arrival of Lonzo Ball. Holiday was a key factor off the bench for the Bruins, averaging 12.3 points and 4.4 assists while shooting 41.1 percent from 3-point range. With Ball, Bryce Alford and Isaac Hamilton all leaving, Holiday could be the go-to-guy for UCLA next season.
