Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

I don’t get why Will Riley is playing summer league. He pretty clearly showed he is a more than capable nba player during the second half of last season. How many 20-30 point games did he have? Just seems like a risk for injury
32 points 6 rebs 3 assists tonight on 9-14 (6-8 3p)

Keaton struggling, but I'm not sure Darryn Peterson looks any better

Peterson is an outstanding talent.

I feel like the reason Wagler's struggling is because he's playing against the other top lotto picks. That's different if you're not a lottery pick.

Wagler will benefit from playing alongside a true PG like Garland.

If he’s asked to be the primary handler for an NBA team, like he is here, it won’t look as good.

Love that as expected the shooting translated. But will need to growing on the defensive end. As well as keeping defenses honest to dissuade crowding him.

Still struggling to finish in the paint. Also expected at this point in his NBA arc.

Wagler in the NBA is a catch and shoot guy. With a little bit of high screen and roll.

These summer league games have been a lot of iso 1 on 1 that isn’t his game. He is struggling with the on ball pressure driving by his guy but looks fine when he has space to shoot. The stroke looks good. The defense good too. If the Clippers play to his strengths he should be good.
