Illini in the Pros (Basketball)
I mean that guy on the left looks like we cloned Lon Kruger so we may have the technology.
Looking at KJ's stats, he's really focused on improving his care of the basketball this past season. 2.5/1 is a really good assist to TO ratio for a rookie playing on a mediocre team. Looking forward to seeing how he grows from here.
He's playing off the ball.
At Illinois, he was the primary initiator on every play. It suited Keaton, which is a high bar, but KJ struggled.

Dang I thought I was a big TSJ fan...
Ayo is #1 on the list. $15M is not nothing, but I thought his market value was projected to be higher than that? That said, I do not understand all the inner-workings of the NBA salary cap, aprons, or any of the other finer details.
Ayo Dosunmu
G | Minnesota TimberwolvesUnrestricted free agent
Dosunmu arrived from the Chicago Bulls at the trade deadline and had an immediate impact, including a 43-point performance in a Game 4 win over the Denver Nuggets that came without injured stars Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo.
After the Timberwolves lost Nickeil Alexander-Walker last summer in free agency -- and after the 27-year-old guard was named 2026 Most Improved Player with the Atlanta Hawks -- Minnesota simply cannot afford to let Dosunmu walk. That's why sources around the league expect he will be back with the Wolves, but for a price slightly above the midlevel exception (roughly $15 million), which is what most rival teams could offer.
Doing so might require Minnesota to move off DiVincenzo, who will miss at least most of next season with a torn right Achilles, to avoid going into the second luxury tax apron.
