Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

Joel Goodson
- it's all ball bearings, nowadays
it was hard to get behind Martinelli when he played for the kitties, but it's easy to root for him now. I think he has a fighting chance to make the team
Is it just me or is Kylan better than Kristian Anderson? Just looks more polished and better feel and vision. Certainly doesn’t look like a first round pick vs a 2 way guy. And Kylan is only a year older.

While you guys are talking NBA, I’m more focused on my guy:

Trent Frazier one of candidates to replace injured Keenan Evans
Trent Frazier is among the prime targets of Zalgiris Kaunas to fill the void of injured Keenan Evans, according to Aris Barkas of Eurohoops. BasketNews sources confirm the information.

Totally agree. He does everything at a pretty competent level. Not sure that qualifies him for a roster spot, but the total of the parts is a pretty hefty sum. If I were an NBA coach, I would love being able to look down the bench and see a guy that can do anything that is needed, has the energy and desire, and brings it every day. He seems to have an impact on nearly every possession when he is in the game and makes his teammates better in the process. I certainly EXPECT him to be on some NBA roster when he season opens.
Would be great to see him playing in the EuroLeague, and was excited about this until I clicked the link. This article is from 2023. It references his stats from the team he was playing for before he transferred to Zenit.While you guys are talking NBA, I’m more focused on my guy:

I am surprised EuroLeague teams haven't tried to pry him away. He's been good for Zenit. Get our guy out of Russia!

look how young Ayo looks in the background !
Lamelo stole his number. Thief.
Is Coleman Hawkins injured? I've been checking box scores and he hasn't gotten any run in summer league for the Nuggets.

Your doubt KW at your own peril
I think he's just not getting into games. Their have like 16 or 17 guys on the roster and even with 12 guys getting into games they still have a handful of guys not getting any time. He is unfortunately one of them.

Go to clippers subreddit and read some of the dumbest takes you've ever seen about Keatons game. It's entertaining
Honestly, it makes me sad.
He's done so much hard work and has had such high character to get to this point. Really unsure of what he's done to deserve people talking about him like that.
Do I think he can handle it? Absolutely. But it just shows how brutal and unhinged the Internet can be about these athletes -- just from an observer's standpoint (can't even imagine what they themselves go through).
The guy, literally, hasn't even played an NBA game yet.

All the keyboard warriors on the Clippers sub didn’t banks 8 digits post-tax before they can legally drink.
Keaton gets paid $5M/yr post tax for two years to build the foundation for a long and productive career in the NBA or elsewhere.

A lot of those Clippers fans hadn’t seen Keaton play until Summer League Game 1
If they could only see some of the different takes of Illini players over the years on here.
Great 1H for Wags. 13pts.
The reason Wagler’s been better since the first game is he doesn't have Emmanuel Sharpe guarding him.
He might be the best perimeter defender in the draft.
