As discussed during the first hour of UCLAradio News last night, two former UCLA basketball stars – Darren Collison and Jrue Holiday – will make their debuts in “The League” tonight.

Collison, who appeared in three Final Fours during his Bruin career, was selected by the New Orleans with the 21st pick in this year’s NBA Draft. He was expected to backup superstar point guard Chris Paul, but instead is battling for that reserve spot with Bobby Brown. (Not that Bobby Brown. This Brown is of Cal-State Fullerton, not New Edition.)

Holiday left UCLA after just one season and was nabbed by Philadelphia 17th in the Draft. Jrue  is near the bottom of the Philadelphia rotation and may not see much action this year, but Holiday showed some flashes in the preseason and is expected to improve in the future.
