[QUOTE="ejam21, post: 1265218, member: 601156"] Hill "not showing up" is so overblown IMO...you started this by cherry picking some bad shooting nights as evidence (who cares about 1-7 vs mckendree when you win teh game by 37 for instance). YOu can likely do that for every top scoring perimeter player in the big 10. Peter JOk: 22% against NW, 20% against rutgers, 20% against ND, 35% against uva, 20% against stetson, 27% against North dakota, 27% against purdue, 33% against savanah state Melo trimble has been under 35% shooting in his 4/5 big 10 games, plus 31% vs pitt, 33% vs Ok st, 27% against towson Watson: 18% vs NW, 33% vs MD,11% vs LA tech, 9% vs vatech, 33% vs KU,27% vs creighton, That was easy...and its the funniest thing..all those guys weren't benched bc they were missing some shots like you want to do to hill, and certainly not benched in favor of ppl who havent even showed they can replace his output It's completely possible to shoot poorly and have shown up. He didnt take 14 shots last game by just chilling, he forced some stuff and missed some shots and yes had an awful TO. He also busted his arse on the boards, getting us 9 there. This kid is one of the most undeservedly torn down players ive seen for the illini. He's been asked to be a premier go-to player, which sad to say he really isnt based on limited ball skills/athleticism, but he's also asked to get on the boards, be among our assist leaders (last year),etc. And he's been put into positions unlikely to succeed by poor coaching/recruiting (having to play the 4, playing the 1, running iso plays at end of half/game vs more athletic players which leaves him destined to fail and get roasted by armchair QBs on this site, etc).
