Illini in the Pros (Basketball)
Any pictures of KJ and Will?
Another hot shooting night from KJ.
45% from 3 on the year and 38% from the field overall. Just wild

He's been struggling with his 2 pointers a bit. Some of it is him trying to draw a foul in the act of shooting but the refs are just not calling those for most rookies, lol.

If the crowds and venues are small, wear a TSJ Illini jersey and I bet he would notice and visit.

Ayo translation - "its great being on a team where not everyone else is a defensive liability, it'll make me look better for the same effort i was expending in Chicago" . but said tactfully and kindlyGood Morning, Illini Nation: Dosunmu 'an absolute, A-plus, perfect fit' with T-Wolves

i love this fit for him. watched a few of his games, his new teammates including Ant are already pumped for him. he had 21pts, typical efficiency (9/13, 2/4 3pts) in his second game and you could tell everyone was loving it

- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
not bad:
Not exactly the pros, but seemed to be as good a place as any to drop this. Interesting collection of players. Good for Malcolm.
Malcolm Hill, Tevian Jones & Jeremiah Tilmon?!

Too early to tell really on KJ and Riley but Riley in particular looks extremely promising.
Hasn't gone TSJ's way at all, and unfortunately at his age he's running out of time. A trade in the offseason would probably be best for him.
But Ayo has wildly outplayed the 38th pick, and now that he's away from the Bulls joke of a franchise he may reach even greater heights.

Wow! I had exorcised Tilmon from my mind.

How so? Wasn't he injured and is just now coming back. His stats before that were decent for a bench player in a limited role.

I mean he's played 20 minutes in a game just 8 times in his career and he turns 26 in the summer. Minnesota traded for Ayo because they need what TSJ hasn't given them in terms of a two-way open floor demon.
With Minnesota so apron-limited him on that cheapo late 1st rookie deal looks appealing, but if they aren't going to use him a change of scenery suits everybody.
He's six years older than KJ. On a very different timeline.
