Illini in the Pros (Basketball)
- Status
I forget every year summer league has no fouling out. Grahams Ike with 6 fouls in 16 minutes.
And Morez Johnson playing great! But with 6 fouls in 21 minutes. 0-3 from 3 tho

Interesting no Morez, but did include Dain, Coleman and Luke. Guess the bad feelings aren't just a perception.
Seems about right though. Those guys either spent a ton of time here (and won a lot) or spent their only time here.
We’d be getting mocked hard if we put Morez on here. Happy as h*** we didn’t lol
Skyy Clark is also in summer league and he’s (rightfully) not included. Nor would I think a guy like Podz should have been as well. Rj melendez is playing summer league too - not sure on epps? Sometimes as the kids say “it’s just some feel facts” and this this feels like the right ones to include

I mean Dain, Coleman and Luke all have a degree from Illinois. It’s really not hard to figure out.

Morez with 27pts / 8rebs / 3stl / 2blk in summer league debut.
Gosh, Will is so shifty. Hope he gets the rock this year, lot of ball dominant teammates.
Summer league announcers referring to Illinois as a “surprise” final 4 team.
Very impressed with the play of Will Riley who seems to be progressing/improving on schedule. Wizards could make a leap next season if they can find bench players to give them some production. So, where does Trae Young fit? Will he do what it takes to make his team a winner and trust his mates to do their job?
The Wizards have a pretty strong 5-6 man core but it takes more than that to win in the NBA come playoff time. We will see.
BAM on the other hand is stuck on a pretty weak roster with guys who don't like to do much but shoot...and most of them are not very good at that. He may just be able to win a roster spot there just by doing what he does...and well. The Hornets need some good team players that can get it done at both ends as their Summer League Roster is woefully short of those types.
And watching Keaton's game, it appears that the Clippers might have to find a spot for Martinelli and Christie. They provide energy, offense, and smart play off the bench. Keaton is taking what they give him and playing a team game, but the Clippers likely will want him to be far more aggressive on the offensive end...but who knows?

That free throw rule is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen
And 7 fouls 
Slow first quarter in the NBA for Keaton. He’ll work in.
I don't see why KJ and Will returning would have stopped them from getting Mirk.
Probably would have been rough defensively and Wagler likely buried behind Boswell, but a lineup of KJ, Wagler, Riley, Mirk, and Tomi might have averaged 100 per game.
So much ball hogging on the Clippers.
Wagler has taken 2 shots. (1/2 with 3pts)

Issue with these summer league games is there’s always gonna be guys looking to graduate from 10 day contracts. So, they’re inevitably gonna look to get their shots up.
