I was way wrong on his potential in the NBA. I still don’t think he has a super high ceiling but it sure looks like he’s going to be a really solid player. He has absolutely transformed his body and his skill set by focusing strictly on basketball. He doesn’t even look like the same player as a year ago.
It looks like he actually grew a bit
he looks taller and longer than I remember him here, his conditioning has obviously been A+ while focusing full time on basketball
glad to see him having success for the hometown franchise and that's always a good thing for the Illini program as well, couldn't have a better ambassador, he's such a good kid
