Illini 993
Knowing that I am an outlier, I think Rez made the best move for his career in transferring. I do not think he would have been a first rounder if he had stayed at Illinois, because his usage would have been different with how the team was constructed. The most absurd takes on here were the ones that said that he would never be in the NBA, and also saying he was wrong for taking the bigger bag. For anyone not destined for the NBA, the extra dollars could be life changing. If a player had done the same thing, but in reverse (jilted scUM for Illinois,) we would have loved that player for doing that. JMHO, and I fully understand why others don't agree.

Wagler staying really makes no sense. He could have a sophomore slump ....

My impression was that Keaton did have a late season shooting slump. He made a couple smooth shots in the tournament, but overall his shooting looked off. His draft stock didn't change.

Seems like the Illini always live in the back end of the transfer cycle. True or just my impatience?

That’s interesting. Wonder if it has to do with our style of hunting matchups vs running offense with off ball screening and pin downs. Think UConn or even 04-05 Illini.

There’s a lot more standing around waiting on a pass while someone dribbles through a series of screens with our offense.

Yes. I’d call it quality of shot but that’s just me.

Generally speaking stand still catch and shoot 3s are easier to make than shots coming off a dead sprint to create space while turning sideway.

LOL neither player took 4 three pointers a game. The difference in % is literally less than 10 makes for the entire season. Are you just trying to make something out of nothing?

This whole thread is littered with references to players' three point percentages. Coaches are recruiting on it. Scouts are using it. The NBA cares. If you want to interject on every player's percentage with a Beckman like "If 10 of those shots dropped, he'd be a lottery pick." then have at it. But this is something out of nothing. It's something. What it means is debatable. How much it matters for our team is debatable.

But it's hardly irrelevant.
