    Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

    Anybody judging any of these players off of summer league should settle down. These games are all about chucking shots and sloppy play. These are not the players that the top players will be playing with on a regular basis. I kind of wish it would go away but I know it won't.

    I expect him to be slotted there too considering AD doesn't play for Dallas anymore

    Illini Basketball 2026-2027

    or maybe Florida wasn't that good, played in the weak SEC which I said multiple times last season and we would have beaten them had we played them. Or Nebraska beats them being that they beat Vanderbilt which blew Florida the week before. Florida benefitted from playing in a weak conference.

    Some of these teams ended up winning it all the follow year excluding Florida and UConn who ended up as repeat champs.

    He said maybe there was injury. If it was it doesn’t sound serious but don’t know. I take stuff Goodman said with a huge grain of salt. He sounded like he was guessing or got that info from a very unreliable source.

    Add to the fact that he became a better player, winner and teammate by playing on a great team.

    NBA Draft

    Yes he was a projected late first round draft pick and could have stayed in the draft but decided to come back which turned out to be the right choice well for Michigan at least and is now a lottery pick.

    NBA Draft

    It absolutely does because right now he isn't a 1st round draft pick and a borderline 2nd round pick where he can improve on that. Stirtz and Yaxel are better off for coming back for their senior year. Being a senior has nothing to do with it. Plenty of seniors get drafted. And here we go...

    NBA Draft

    This is a lot of 'ifs' and 'all it takes' to get drafted in the second round when it would be easier to improve your status in a year.

    That's the exact reason I doubt it because it doesn't make sense.

    NBA Draft

    I don't get it. What is the rush to get to the NBA as a late 2nd round pick when you can do much better playing another year in college on a contending team? Most likely you won't get any playing time and may be playing in the G league. I could sort of get it if he was a late first rounder but...

    NBA Draft

    You need to stop. You don’t know anything. Furthermore why would a player stay in the draft for second round pick exception when they have a chance to come back to college, play on a contender, make equal or more money and improve to being a first round pick. He clearly has things to work on and...

    Any time I hear or see Boise State I always think of the Andre 3000 lyric from the Drake song ‘The Real Her’ Can’t post it on here because it’s not Loyalty friendly. :ROFLMAO:
