    Illini Basketball 2026-2027

    I mean, sure, but not really. It’s not hard to look through the box scores and say “man if he went 1-3 instead of 0-3 that game, and 2-3 that game..or whatever. It’s not hard to imagine hitting 5 threes more during the non-conference… 🤷‍♂️ Obviously, you can always say that about any player...

    Someone else said this a few weeks ago, but even just 5 more makes for Andrej from 3 would be over 30% just 25-82 puts him there. So he is a few makes away from being considered respectable.

    Can Jake and Andrej play on the wings together with Vaaks or Coleman? Absolutely. It’s college basketball and they are really good. Too much goes into comparing 2s and 3s, IMO. Last year we had times with Keaton, Ben, Mirk, Z, and Tomi in the game together. We be all right.

    I think the difference with those guys is the developed into a stud in their college career..over time.. Keaton was a stud his freshman year, which is to say he was a huge miss for literally every scout and coach.

    Unfortunately, he’s on a team with Ant, who also had to have the ball in his hands.

    Do you think it has worked since they expanded to 68? Or the CFP expansion? They team vying for the final spots will always have an argument for being better than that last team in..

    Boswell shot 39% and 38% from 3 at Arizona and his sophomore year was on pretty high volume (made 66 3s). Wonder what he shot percentage-wise in HS. Hard to project how well it translates.

    You can argue all you want about needing a true "guard" behind Vaaks and Coleman, and a true 4 behind Mirk, but its hard to find someone talented enough to warrant playing over the other dudes in our rotation. In the same way that Lee wasn't able to take minutes away from the guard rotation...

    Fair to say he isn’t a 3 pt shooter. Percentage isn’t much of an indicator when so few are taken, imo.

    Are other schools bringing in studs from overseas this year like the past couple years? Guys like KJ, Egor, Mirk, Sarr?

    Literally what I just texted my buddy.... "Misko represents him now too?" "Yep, he's an honorary Balkan!"

    If my math is correct, he was 4 made FTs away from being in the elite 50, 40, 90 club! C'mon, Ayo!

    Luka Doncic beating many off the dribble with his athleticism and speed? I get what you're saying, but if his game isn't to beat people off the dribble, he'll do what he is good at, I'd assume. He was a freshman who averaged 15+ ppg.
