No chance he would be the starting 4 at Illinois. But then you are comparing him to booth who is getting 1 minute a game.
I think Chester, Hansberry and Frazier all made the right decision for their development.
Good for them and hope they continue to improve.
I prefer our roster (Orlando, kj or kb, and any of our bigs (not named booth))

We've got a really good thing going in our "pace and space with shooters 1-5" era, but I do miss our "jacks of all trades everyone's position is Basketball Player" era.
I love junkballers on the mound and on the basketball floor.
I also loved Amani as an ILLINI with a bright future and as a disciple of of Coach Frazier's physical playing style. But that toughness comes at a cost and I have a very good friend who played Division1 college basketball who is a heavily involved Mountaineers' basketball booster and he indicated that Amani is already having significant back issues after the heavy minutes that he played in the 3 OT games in 3 days this weekend on a West Virginia team with a short bench. Something that I'm sure Brad considered when filling out his roster after Amani's back problems last year.

Can you only imagine what Trollman thought to himself when he saw us play Arkansas? He sees a rim protector hitting 3’s, in your face pit bull point guard defending like a rabid dog, 10 roster deep athletic and talented shooters, etc etc and etc.
Never in doubt.I'm glad at least one person got the reference. I was worried about that.
True he is only shooting 28% from three but he is good defensively and averaging 12,6 rebounds and 7.6 rebounds so he is not an offensive liability and he would be getting better shots with this team. Either way would be a great choice as a backup to Ben and a different piece.
There are 2 million($) reasons he didn’t have any regrets……

He's young enough to still not know the factual reality that money is indeed not everything.
The old joke goes, "yeah but it's WAY ahead of whatever is in second place."

REPORT: Former Illini star Andre Curbelo suspended by Southern Mississippi
It’s been a rough go ever since leaving Champaign.

Agree somewhat, but when you have a team full of "jack of all trades" type players....teams can exploit that they're "masters of none".

I was at the State Farm Center pregame really early with one of my daughters before the Michigan State (I think) game. Andre came over and chatted up my daughter. I asked him how he was doing. He responded only with, "Birds aren't real." I still don't know if he was serious or not, but I have liked him and wished him the best ever since that day.REPORT: Former Illini star Andre Curbelo suspended by Southern Mississippi

Correcting myself, that's a lot of missed games 21-24. That's another point for Miller.REPORT: Former Illini star Andre Curbelo suspended by Southern Mississippi

I was a big Belo fan and hate to see what has happened. Maybe Crash Davis was right
“He’s got a million-dollar arm but a five-cent head”

No offense. But this is one of the worst takes I have read on here in a while.
Jeremiah Fears has been lighting it up for Oklahoma avg. 17 ppg, 3.4 rbs. 4.6 asst 2.6 stl even with a ton of turnovers (4.1) - he wouldn't have fit on this current roster construction we have - so no regrets, but my goodness he's been good. Maybe he was ready?
