Malcolm was a great player. Sucks that Kendrick got in trouble. The two of them together as seniors would have made the dance. Long term that would have been a lot worse for the programs thou.
Agree!! Still think as a freshmen, that if JG put MH and KN in starting rotation sooner, they would have made dance that year....2 -8 in B10 in 2013-2014 to start, with MH &KN off bench. 5-3 to finish B10 when MH and KN added to starting lineup, including wins over ranked MSU and Iowa... too little, too late.
Like you said, seniors KN and MH together, would have danced also in 2017.

ATS, MH is a great Illini ambassador...great to see him showing his stuff at next level. Love that Malcolm smile!

I argued them both guys needed to play even as freshman because there was no talent blocking them. Was called out. Smdh.

I remember saying that no team in the B1G would have a better top 3 players than Hill, Nunn and Leron Black.

Groce just never got his PG I guess?
I can't believe anyone would have believed that. But yes, PG was Groce's problem.

The B1G almost always has a fair number of top 25s scattered around so the idea that three guys in the 50-100 range would be tops in the league is pure Loyalty, not sensible.

Adam and DD might be touch better. Ayo is good but like it was said he's maybe 6 or 7 on bulls. He has a hell of a future in nba though

I’m better at most at scouting talent I guess. Don’t really appreciate the arrogant “non sensible” comment which resembles many other comments I’ve seen here recently.

Edit. I have neither the time nor the incloto look it up but iirc leron was closer to top 40

I remember thinkng Nunn was wildly underrated. And my comment was also that “in a few years” after they were recruited. I felt they could be the best trio in the B1G when they were upper classman.

The NBA draft is a longer term proposition. So these determinations aren't made for a few years.

As fun as it is to watch Ayo and as proud as I am for what he's doing, he's not particularly a huge outlier. It took me just a moment to find that Eric Paschall, 41 in the '19 draft made first team all Rookie in 2020. Like Ayo, he was an older player in a good college program who probably was able to adjust earlier faster.
The other huge difference is looking at the record of the teams. It's a difference doing it for a team that's one of the worst in the league like the injury depleted Warriors from 2019-2021. I mean someone's gotta fill the stats for a team even if it results in losses. Ayo's better performances have contributed to big wins against the better teams in the league....not to mention what he does that doesn't go on the stat sheet.

Sorry. You're right. A bit over the top.

But the over the top evaluations followed by over the top expectations is a bit frustrating at times.

Stupid question, but I cannot figure out how to watch nba games. I piggyback off of another person with Dish. Evidently Dish does not carry NBC sports Chicago? The other night we found the bulls game on Dish menu, but it was blocked out. Just added NBA to roku, found bulls game, but again game is blocked b/c it's available in local market?? Yes, I live in the great state of IL. Do I have to get youtube tv or hulu or filo? Not really willing to pay $$$ for nba.

You can always go to the local pub and order a drink…

Not sure if YouTubeTV is going to be the solution. Received this email today. Will dropping NBC Sports Network include NBC Sports Chicago and if so will USA Network pick up all of the Bulls games?

respect my decision™
With Ball & Caruso coming back soon, Ayo's minutes are bound to go down. White's playing well and showcasing him makes sense. It'll be interesting to see what transpires.

I don't believe the regional NBC Sports Chicago is affected by this.
