    Quentin Coleman on the USA U18 National Team

    The game was a mismatch. It still showed that Coleman is a high level shooter and passer. His athleticism showed up with his ability to finish at the rim. His handle is not the best and he’s not strong enough yet to drive through defenders. His defensive footwork honestly looks like he’s...

    Pregame: Illinois vs UConn, Saturday, April 4th, 5:09pm CT, TBS
