Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

[GetAWin]

Wolves are slow starters again.

Ayo’s been trying to get that floater over Wemby to fall all series, just can’t find it.

Ayo gettin physical with Harper Jr the last couple of possessions

Ant is a superstar. Would help for the Wolves to shop their older role players for valuable assets.

Spurs are soooo tough, but Ayo is playing a heck of a game on both ends.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Ayo just dunked on Wemby

Looking more and more like another blowout….

 

[Jon]

Ayo as close to a poster as any guard is going to get on Wemby...

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Man does Gobert look horrible

Ayo leading team in points, rebs, steals, and blocks at half. Second on the team in assists to TJ.

Tsj is playing well. He has taken 5 charges, multiple steals and forced turnovers, disruptive inbgeneral on d. The last few games in the playoffs on offense for him remind me of the first few games after purdue for wagler. Just forcing and rushing it a little too much. Need to slow it down about 6.4%. Playing great defense though. If he would have gotten more playing time the last 2 years the game would be a little slower for him.

I think they need to move on from randle. he's tough but takes a ton of bad shots. not a great scottie to Ants Jordan in my opinion

Ayo is so good, man. Still can't believe he fell to the 2nd round.

The dude is just a winner. Plain and simple.

Woof... was tied and now up to 18.

As good as Ant is, I believe the wolves are a lot easier to defend when the ball sticks in his hands all the time.

TSJ really needs to work on that 3 ball.

Seems like they have a lot of solid pieces but for several different styles of teams.

Also for a team with a superstar that likes isos they dont set him many screens nor have many good shooters to help him get space. Doesn't help that ant doesn't seem to pass well out of a double.

Yup.

What would do them best is putting four sniper 3pt shooters around him. Need to let him go to work off of that spacing.

As much as people hate iso ball, it really isn't that bad if you have the shooting and spacing around it. MINN just doesn't have it.

its idiotic 30 teams passed him but more dumb to get rid of him for useless 2nds. easily worth a lotto pick. he will get paid more than 30mil.
the bulls could have had ayo and wagler backcourt for the next decade.

 

[CoalCity]

Yikes Harper just went right around Ayo and threw one down on him

 

[wncillini]

Wolves seem to like iso defense too. Rarely much help rotating to the paint on drives.

Between him and Randle it's not a pretty offense..

Bones Hyland is a guy that's seen his minutes get cut entirely.
