If I squint really hard, I see a few guys who “could” eventually be NBA wings, but not with nearly the probability of TSJ. I wouldn’t give anyone else on the roster a better than 25% chance of sticking in the NBA as a 2/3.

Agree. That said, I give you Max Strus and Mychal Henry.
Yup. You never really know. Sometimes catching on with the right team makes a big difference.
Really we were better with Epps?

That's rich. You throw out 2 months as not too long to a board that has worn out their F5 keys.
Not many Illini had more than a partial season in NBA. Even less were NBA starters.
Great NBA career
- Deron Williams
- Kendall Gill
- Nick Anderson
- Eddie Johnson
long but only started couple season
- Kenny Norman
- Nick Weatherspoon
- Brian Cook
- Meyers Leonard
TBD
- Ayo Dosumu
- Kendrick Nunn
Of our current team Coleman, TSJ and Dain are probably best prospects but none of them have had college careers even close to the Illini listed above (excluding Kendrick's career)
Mulcahey was getting outplayed on the court so he resorted to a cheap move. That's the guy I want! Just win baby!

Derek Harper?
DeonThomas
- South Carolina
Your point is valid...........
However, of note:
-- Derek Harper goes into category #1
-- Luther Head into group #2 or #3

Luther Head?
I don't think you have to squint too hard honestly with the way the NBA is these days. Basically anyone with some length and shooting ability(Reeves wasn't even much of a 3pt shooter in college) is capable of playing in the NBA so it's not too far of a stretch to say Domask or Goode could end up playing a bit.
Also, Rodgers is just a 3pt shot away from being an NBA player. It's not guaranteed he gets there but if he improves as a shooter he probably has the best chance to be a 1st Rd pick of anyone on the roster.

Before the flop warnings were a thing, Trent used to throw his head back if anyone so much as breathed in his vicinity. I’d put that and PM’s antics in the gamesmanship category.
If we somehow land Mulcahy we will be considerably better than last year on paper
That will be quite the off-season feat by Brad and staff to turn a rebuilding year into a potential run for the big ten title- we will have unbelievable depth and a really good/experienced starting 5

Booker got outplayed by a Purdue football commit on his high school team.I wouldn’t take Sissoko but I’d take Booker … I’d also take Key, Crowl, Julian Reese, and Derrick Walker …
But that’s just my opinion …

Really, Dude? Harper played 17 seasons, Pat Riley said he is the best player never to make an all star game, for his career he averaged of 13 points n 5 assists a game over 17 damn years we was amoung the best 400 or so players in the world! . Plus his teams were usually winning. You must not have seen Harp play. Dude was #2 behind Dwill and it isn't by much.

Yes, Harper had an excellent NBA career. OP obviously completely forgot about him. I also think he’s underrating Norman who had a very solid NBA career. No way should he be in the same category as Meyers Leonard.

LaLu bound. We've offered. Could be a Plan A guy. Go, Tim, go!

Relax, bud. Probably just an omission by mistake.
I disagree on that with you. Weber messed that up. If I was BU I would take a high school athlete like Meyers was with our staff over damn near anyone and I loved the Snake. Meyers was a freak and how that staff used his abilities and skill was a joke and a waste. Plus, in spite of that he was a lottery pick and later off the court he is being paid.

Ty is just a shot away from the NBA, IMO
Can’t remember their centers. Were they top notch. I think his troubles later in season was the combination of quality of B1G centers and there being a scouting report on him. Hopefully he’s throwing some new wrinkles into his game.
