@ZeroHibachi I’m just curious, what makes Beluba upper the best? Just impossible to contest or what?

@BBallSchoILL @DraftExpress That’s a big ass lineup. Vaaks, Stoj, Mirk, Z, and Tomi. A zone with those guys might not be fair.

@BBallSchoILL @DraftExpress That’s true, Z doesn’t have the foot speed to play any minutes at the 4 and neither does Tomi. Gotta look for wings/a lead guard right now

@BBallSchoILL @DraftExpress Any chance for us on him or are we out? Haven’t seen him with huge hype in mock drafts or anything yet. Could easily be a lottery pick next year

There’s pretty much no margin here, but the Spurs are still favorites in this series. Split the next two, get Wemby by game 5 and you’re going to win in 6. Win both and you buy him another few days of recovery.

@WembyCentral The Spurs went 2-1 on the season without Wemby specifically against Portland. They’re absolutely the favorites still even if Wemby weren’t to come back at all. But he’s back by game 5 no doubt. Especially if it’s 2-2.

@TheIlliniFN Sure, he’s not gonna be AS good as Keaton was, but it’s hard to see him not being an extremely high quality player for us. Thinking 12 points on very good efficiency, more or less depending on the volume Mirk, Stoj, and Vaaks gets.

Here is a fun "did you know?" for Illini fans. Did you know that Quentin Coleman shot 49% from 3PT this year? That includes vs some of the top high school competition in the country. Now, imagine this 49% 3PT shooter in the Brad Underwood guard machine & system. Fun days ahead

@CurtisHiggs1701 @TheIlliniFN Sengun isn’t as good of a floor spacer though and works off dho’s. Mirk can make very solid reads from the post when he gets doubled, I anticipate like 4 assists per night from him due to stuff like that.

@TheIlliniFN We gotta cool it on the Jokic comps for Mirk. His passing is no where near that level. Much more of a Sengun comp in terms of skill and athletic profile.

Totally understand some Blackwell letdown, but as a reminder, Illinois lineup will be... A top-10 portal addition (Vaaks) A 5⭐️recruit (Coleman) An All-American potential SF (Stojakovic) Mini Nikola Jokic (Mirk) Two 7' twins (Ivisic's) With a deep, talented bench We are LEGIT

@ChiefIlliniVic I think people are worried about the amount of time left, but these last few recruitments just go crazy fast. I’m sure we add at least one more solid piece.

Why are people saying Illinois has no plans to add another player? It makes ZERO sense to have $4-5M ready for Blackwell and then just do nothing with it when he goes elsewhere Expect Illinois to get another solid piece for 2026-27 #TheAddition

@xJC2Kx His career is so hard to gauge because we haven’t seen a player with his exact skill set. If he keeps progressing like this though and plays for ~15 years, I’d say 60% chance or higher.

If Wemby stays mostly healthy throughout his career, what is the % chance he ends his career as the GOAT?

@notrobbyboose @ellisrt103160 @TheIlliniFN And we saw overall defensive improvement during that entire March run. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is a slightly worse offense, but better defensively.

Illinois basketball current depth chart: Vaaks / Lee Coleman / J. Davis Stojakovic / Morillo / Brown Mirkovic / L. Davis T. Ivisic / Z. Ivisic One of the more talented rosters in the country, which is why they are projected top-5. No true PG, lack some PF depth. Thoughts?

@TL_Soularion @aryh21 It’s one game, but he had a couple nice passes that just resulted in missed shots from a few teammates. His actual passing IQ and feel are fairly high, it’ll develop to a solid point Im sure. Especially if teams just start doubling him all the time.

Vincent Grenier@TL_Soularion·
@aryh21 agree some but one downside of upping his 3pt volume is that it really hurts his offensive rebounding plus his playmaking is just not there at all, 1 ast 4 tov isn't good enough and it's hard for him to upkeep this level of O production while being That Guy on D

@Illinifan05 @shanepearson924 I think he’s just a hope, but no reason not to try and get a 43% three point 6’5 guard. He’d fit into the system pretty well. No idea what teams, if any, he’s been connected to. I’ve just been focused on the Blackwell stuff and #theretention

@ChiefIlliniVic @IllinoisBball5 Right? Blackwell would get so many effective, efficient shots within the offense and have the ability to focus on his defense and playmaking without worrying about a scoring load. Do it all guards make it to the league🤷

#illini Since andrej is back and if Blackwell wouldn’t want to come now because of it, who should they look towards now? I don’t see why you wouldn’t still come since he would be the PG and still play a lot of minutes and be on a championship contending team

@Illinifan05 I definitely wouldn’t hate landing one of McNeil or Zens and missing out on Blackwell, but I think he’s the guy that takes us to that next, next level
