Nice find! Quite a glowing review from Pop himself!

.@BP3 is the first Spurs rookie with 9+ three-pointers in his first 10 games since @tonyparker in 2001-02.

This play should look pretty familiar to Illini fans. Did this a number of times a season while he was here.

That's great press! Front page of ESPN too.

Brandon was one of my favorite players of the last year years (along with Frankie and Deron... Hence the "TeamWilliams" name).

Hope he continues to strive!

Great story. BP was a great player for Illinois, and I'm glad he's seeing his hard work pay off. Glad he's in the NBA, it makes following his career a little easier.

Honor and privilege to cover Brian Randle from such close range. The 32-year-old former Euroleague forward is retiring after winning in Israel
