Let’s not forget that Belo also could be a one-man turnover machine—even pre-injury. Very much a high risk / high reward player. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. How many times did we see him go dribbling wildly into traffic, only to trip over himself or get the ball snatched?
Belo had so many turnovers in the Marquette game that some even floated allegations he might be point shaving. Obviously we all now know he was concussed, but his ratio is still pretty rough. Could be an absolute magician when he was on, but he often wasn’t. Had the potential to become one of the all-time greats, but was still very far from the Derom-Dee-Frankie pantheon of Illini ball handlers. There’s a reason he rarely started and why staff let him go.
