Pondexter led the Huskies to the Sweet 16 in his senior season and finished as a first team All-Pac-12 selection. He was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round, with the 26th overall pick, but was traded to New Orleans two weeks later. He played only one season with Hornets before he was traded to Memphis. Pondexter hasn't played since the 2015 postseason, when he was with the Pelicans, because he's currently recuperating from a knee injury. He's under contract with the Pelicans for one more season.
Holiday was a three-year starter for UW who finished his career as a co-captain along with teammate Isaiah Thomas.
