UCLA Men's Basketball: Bruin-Turned-NBA Pro Visits Team Practice
USA TODAY Sports

UCLA keeps on showing that they are one of the basketball blue bloods in the country by continuing to bring in former talent to talk to this year's team. 

The team's all-time single season assist leader was in Westwood on Thursday to go back to his alma mater.

In his one season at UCLA, Larry Drew II made big contributions to the Bruins' program. 

Being a transfer from North Carolina, Drew was the only senior on UCLA's roster during the 2012-2013 season. In his time at Chapel Hill, Drew was a national champion in 2009. 

The 6'2" Encino native was named to the All-Pac-12 first team in 2013 and passed Pooh Richardson for most assets in a season with 237.

Following his UCLA career, Drew went undrafted in the 2013 draft and spent parts of three season in the league. 

In his career, Drew has signed three 10-day contracts and has played 22 games. He averaged 13 minutes a game, 2.9 points per game and 2.5 assists per game. 

Drew spent some time overseas in Monaco and Lithuania and has been on four summer league teams. In 2017-2018, Drew was apart of the Sioux Falls Skyforce that won a D-League championship. 

Now that his playing days are over, Drew is giving back starting with going back to college. 

As many former Bruins do, he has spent time back on campus and will probably continue to do so in the future.
