    The Selection Show

    Probably a function of trying to separate big ten teams so they don’t play each other in first 2 rounds

    I think a fair seed is an 7,8,9 for us. Prob an 8

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

    We need to upgrade our shooting. Does Jaylon Tate still have any elgibility?

    PG Poll

    I’ve been on the TY PG band wagon since I watched him last year. Typically I like PG who can shoot it (ex Deron Williams). But Ty is a baller. At PG he presents serious matchup problems for other teams. He can get to the hole and finish. And he is a dog on the glass. He also sees the floor...

    I love Ty’s game but whole smokes. 20% from line and no shots from 3. I guess we know he hasn’t improved his shooting

    Is this his stock price or IQ or weight or … what he military presses.

    I can’t argue your facts.

    Hawkins has become better every year. TSJ outside shooting was better than his previous years. The general assumption is more practice makes better shooters. Of course it doesn’t happen for everyone. But if we get marginal increases from most (Hawkins and TSJ) and from Harris and Ty (there...

    I think this team is going to be much better than last year's. - Add proven shooters: Goode, Domask - (elite shooters were absent last season) - Expect improved shooting from: nearly all returning players (Hawkins, TSJ, Dain, Ty, Harris, etc) - Add athletic PG DGL (let's see what happens in...

    Shannon’s weakness is ball handling and playmaking. Shannon’s biggest strength is getting downhill and bullying his way to the basket. He is no where close to a “playmaker” at this time. He either shoots a 3 or puts his head down and goes hard to the basket (out of control more than I’d like)...

    I totally agree. Bruce Weber Saw it, NBA scouts saw it, I saw it, as did most coaches. Deron was a very very very rare talent. He was the heart and soul of the O5 team. He made Dee great. He made Luther great, he made EVERYONE better .. even Bruce Weber. I loved watching Frank, Gill &...

    IMO this is a horrible comparison. Tate couldn’t shoot, he wasn’t a rebounder, he couldn’t penetrate, dish, dunk or defend with very limited athleticism or size. He wasn’t a threat inside or out and he didn’t make others around him better. It was a just bad combination having the weakest...

    I agree. Deron was the best player I’ve ever seen play at Illinois. He could’ve scored 25 points a game if he wanted to but he knew the team was better when everyone was involved. He could get an open shot for himself any time he wanted in about 2 seconds. But the thing that made him so good...
