44. Wilbur Holland

Wilbur Holland had a unique basketball career, taken in the Fifth Round out of the University of New Orleans in 1975. The team that took him, Atlanta, waived him at seasons' end, and Holland received an opportunity with the Chicago Bulls.

 

Playing at Shooting Guard, Holland was with Chicago for three seasons, where his playing time exceeded 30 Minutes per Game in each year.  Holland cracked 12 Points per Game each campaign, with his best year coming in 1977-78 with a 16.6 PPG.  After the 1978-79 Season came to an end, he was traded to New Orleans, but he never played for them, as he finished his career in Europe.
