Hell of a college player.....I just don't see it translating to the NBA level. High floor but a very low ceiling. His biggest assets are his smarts amongst a pool of dummies. Honestly Taking him in the lottery is a reach but someone will take him, I just hope it isn't my Bulls. Give me Acuff or Burries. I do wish him to do Illini nation proud though.

KW will have the best NBA career of any former Illini, ever.

Better than DWill, Harper, EJ, Nick, Red Kerr… I really believe this.

Maybe it’s not a particularly hot take…? I don’t know. But yeah.
Early jumpstart on NBA career for sure…correct me if I’m wrong but I believe he’s just the 3rd true one and done Illini after KJ and WR

I think so too. He is 100/100 on what you can't "teach"--Highest BB IQ ever, 7' wingspan, great shooter and instinctive finisher, perfect emotional wiring.

And so much body maturity and easy mass gains yet to come. And the trajectory...Where was he 365 days ago, where will he be 365 days from now?

That roster would fall significantly short of our lofty 2026-27 expectations. Desperately needs some athleticism, as has been mentioned here previously. (Hopefully Blackwell is one of 2-3 we can pick up over the next month.)
It would certainly lack athleticism. But still about as athletic as our team that just made the FF.
