Will Riley also made his NBA debut last night, although he didnt score. I can't think of the last night we had 3 Illini (guys who finished college at the beloved) play in NBA games. I'm sure it's been a while.

KJ also entered the game for Miami.

Dain Dainja didn’t get drafted after IL, but I was surprised to see that he is also on the heat.

I recall our team with 5 future NBA guys. Melendez, Hawkins, Shannon, Mayer, and Clark. Tim Anderson said Dainja had the most NBA potential. He wasn't far off apparently.

The Bulls line-up the last 6 minutes were puzzling, several non-scorers while Ayo was on the bench. Terry to close out game instead of Ayo not performance based.

Ayo had to sit years ago to give veterans benefit of doubt Ayo is now that proven veteran, he needs to get those nods. NBA is a business, possibly other things in play.

they were playing the NFL prevent defense and almost blew a huge lead in the 4th trying to give that game away

I don't believe KJ played last night unless im going crazy. I'm pretty sure he was out with a groin injury.

Yeah you're totally right, I was looking at the 3rd preseason game instead of the first regular season game.

So nice to see all our guys getting tic. TJ passing, scoring, and showing he belongs. Gonna get lotta playing time, and Ayo gets better every year. Love them both and so proud of them. Great Illini icons.

Hate to see the sad and disappointing development in Miami today …but maybe KJ gets more minutes now.

Mr Riley tonight with an uber efficient 4 minutes of action. 3 points on 3-4 from the line, 3 rebounds, and 1 steal. Those per 48 numbers are off the charts!
