Of course no one submits a highlight tape of missed shots, but from what I see on the Humrichous tape, Ben may have the best fundamental stroke I have seen from an Illini player beyond the arc. What is so impressive about it is that none of his shots, all of which go in, are almost perfectly on line with the center of the net. If he can improve his verticality (he seems to not go consistently vertical, which sometimes is not possible) and therefore his accuracy on distance, he could approach 50% from beyond the arc. Glad he will be playing for the Illini.

Guys who can shoot like he does from 25 ft.+ get my respect and support. Guys who are 6'9" and can shoot like that quickly become my favorite. BH looks to me to be a better shooter than Mayer without the locker room problems.
My only concern is his speed. Is he fast enough at this level? This is a question because I've never seen him play. Clearly he can shoot it an at 6"9' he can shoot over people but will be just be a stand in the corner player or can he drive like he does in the highlight film. I assume the answer is he can do both

Insiders, have you heard of any serious pivot’s for the alpha wing/ scoring guard roster need, assuming David Jones isn’t entering the portal at this point? Just haven’t seen our name mentioned with many out there.

There are a number of full Aces games on YouTube. I watched their game vs Drake. I liked what I saw.

Agree ... We need to lock down a 5 that Coleman can/wants to play with ... And go get an elite level wing ...

Then our sell becomes a lot easier to him ...
I honestly don't know why, given the situation and needs, we aren't the frontrunner for Onyenso. We need a 5, need one, and we got Orlando. All this noise about Bama being the clear frontrunner; I kinda don't really get the "how" part. I don't really buy it but hey what do I know...
