[QUOTE="IdahoIllini, post: 1431087, member: 746160"] I can understand this on its face, but I can’t for the life of me see how any Illini fan can be okay with this. IIRC, KenPom has us right around 12 wins (projected wins). Not very good. I’d agree on talent. Trent is a given. Ayo I think is talented too (especially since he can shoot 3’s better than expected) but they don’t seem to fit overly well together. Seems they are trying to fill the same role, rendering one ineffective when they are there together. That could change/progress of course. Giorgi has some positive attributes, but I’m not sure how he will handle plus athletes. He’s really struggled with that so far by way of fouling. I like Griffin. I think he’s s solid four year guy. Jones should come around in time. Neither has proven consistently good play yet. Our front line is really thin. We have some nice glue guys but our overall talent isn’t where we need it to be.
