Joseph Bertrand

For Illinois guard Joseph Bertrand, "it was nice," he said. "It's fun to be back part of the team instead of standing on the sidelines."

After sitting out last season as a redshirt while waiting for knee and calf injuries to heal, the freshman from Sterling just liked being part of the process again. With all four years of eligibility remaining, Bertrand continues his project of learning to play point guard.
