Kofi is who everyone should be talking about right now...
Still very much in the picture.
But I thought Kofi was for closers.

It's a guard's game, they only have 5's, all about roster balance. /sThey are tall, but as a country they are pretty bad in the game of basketball, ranked 44th in the world and 25th in Europe alone.

This shows more of his all around game. Decent looking stroke and ball handling.
Update: According to his HS, he’s now 6’10”. He definitely has some athleticism and a 7’+ wingspan to go along with some ball skills. For what it’s worth, most reports tout his athleticism and his shooting stroke. His lack of physical strength and inconsistent motor are what has been pointed out the most in terms of things to improve upon.Interesting, def needs to add some mass but is basically a 6-8 guard, looks like he has some skills, plus athlete with good handles
Yes, just like most European countries soccer is king and that they are very good at.....still..... there may be a Dunkin Dutchman like Rik Smits(ex-Pacer) out there somewhereThey are tall, but as a country they are pretty bad in the game of basketball, ranked 44th in the world and 25th in Europe alone.

Umm. Yeah. I'd take a Smits in a heartbeat!!!We're recruitng Rik Smits??
Spelled it wrong, but that was the intent my weak joke. And was from that general part of the globe.The actor who now plays Chewie is anformer basketball player, so... maybe?
Have you seen him play in person?Sitting around the VFW with some ole buddies, and wanted to pass something along. Chris Payton wants to play for the Illini. Not many kids have that thought now a days. Will he play here? I think so. It is really hard sometimes for a staff wanting so badly to get the right fits. This kid would be more of a year one must have. He is good enough and I honestly think he will surprise some people in college. He has the type of game that could translate into a nice role on a team like Illinois.

Agree that we want people who want to be here, but I really wanted to be playing for the Illini, but I only played 2 years of HS basketball and am a 5'10" post player.Sitting around the VFW with some ole buddies, and wanted to pass something along.

Are your growth plates open? Would Luther pay for you to avoid using a scholarship? Did you wear a Brian Cook jersey yesterday? I have to ask these questions because recruiting is fluid and frankly IDKWYA.I want to play for the Illini. Does that make me qualified?
But I thought Kofi was for closers.

We'll need to grind that one out.
I have only watched highlights on the news and that was against Okoro. He looked the part, but obviously BU and many on this board don’t see it.
What is he lacking that doesn’t translate into a B10 SF/PF? Asking as I don’t know enough about him.
