Something tells me I'd end up getting naked pics of 0440

Some good reasons to enter the portal and there have been some players who have really broken out such as Tshiebwe. Some reasons more emotional and less likely to be successful.

Portal reasons:

More playing time (better players ahead of me)
NIL payment
Better fit for my game
Higher competition level
Higher NBA visibility (TV and Ranked team)
More collegial teammates
Coach that appreciates me
Closer to home and family

One more good reason to add to that list (that stands all on its own):

'I want to play for the Fighting Illini and Brad Underwood and in front of the greatest fans in all of College Basketball and help bring them a Championship.'

I could hit golf balls all day (and did) and never develop consistency.
You could if you had lessons & practiced the right way. Same thing with Shaq. He could shoot a thousand free throws a day, but without the right form it wasnt going to do any good. His muscle memory was on the wrong technique.

My mom/dad thinks I should start at point and get at least 40% of the team's shots cause I am a sure lottery pick.

I was wondering about his D as well but at 6-6 and having other guys around that height or taller in the lineup, I believe we can overcome whatever defensive faults he has for 12-15 points a game. We will be so balanced on offense that teams will not be able to double team so I am not as worried.
Imo the big tens over emphasis on defense is the reason it hasn’t had more postseason success. We need to stop focusing so much on defense and focus more on scoring. Good offense always beats good defense.

Golf is much harder. I’ve played both my whole life. But as the other post said about mechanics I agree. My point is these guys have coaches. Not everybody is taking lessons from the pro at the range
