The Deuce: Zach Lowe had him 2nd Team All-Rookie*

Ayo missed joining the 50-40-90 club by four FTs. Bummer but still incredible year. * - illini April 14, 2026, 12:21:58

A couple mocks I looked at have KW going to Memphis or Atlanta. Gross * - MC April 15, 2026, 10:19:41
- Atlanta is good. Mempiss would be horrible.* - Warrin'_Illini April 15, 2026, 10:33:09
Imagine if the Bulls get Wagler. Josh Giddey I hope you speak Milhalio Petrovic.* - Warrin'_Illini April 15, 2026, 9:52:55
- Bad fit. Bulls need size and athleticism on the wing and inside. - Sammich April 15, 2026, 10:20:32
  - Saw one mock where the Bulls get Mara and Mullins - bjl63 April 15, 2026, 16:04:21
  - Fortunately for the Bulls, they need everything so can just draft best player available. - Warrin'_Illini April 15, 2026, 10:31:49
    - I'd rather have Mara, if it has to be a Michigan man* - bjl63 April 15, 2026, 16:05:19
      - I'd be cool with that. Laxel might not make it to 9.* - Warrin'_Illini April 15, 2026, 16:11:05
        
        I dunno, he is old. No one wants anyone over 21 in the lottery anymore.... - bjl63 April 15, 2026, 16:12:33
Missed this, but Vecenie had some high praise for Will Riley's play a couple weeks ago - Carl Spackler April 15, 2026, 9:00:29
- Zach Lowe had him 2nd Team All-Rookie* - JacobRDaugherty April 15, 2026, 11:46:07
Great year, but look at some of the stats put up in seasons by - MojoJojo April 15, 2026, 7:42:50
- Yeah, the inside of my post wasn’t clear. I meant was it the best year for Illinois guys as a whole - illini April 15, 2026, 7:47:37
  - Looking at Blazer’s post below, early 90’s seems like the other option - DT April 15, 2026, 9:06:38
    - Yeah, Eddie J and Derek Harper were *really* good late 80s to early 90s - Blazer April 15, 2026, 11:47:48
Dude is going to be making like 20 mil a year when he signs a new contract* - illini21 April 14, 2026, 12:26:41
- um, actually, he won't make that until AFTER he signs his new contract - Sammich April 14, 2026, 12:30:35
I think Deron still pips Ayo, unless and until Ayo makes an all-star team - Sammich April 14, 2026, 12:24:55
- Deron is also a 2x Olympic gold medalist - IlliniSax05 April 15, 2026, 7:10:59
- It's a great question--best former Illini single season in the League? - Blazer April 14, 2026, 22:08:14
  - Need a few more Derek Harper and Deron Williams seasons* - JacobRDaugherty April 15, 2026, 6:22:38
    - Johnson too - Blazer April 15, 2026, 11:44:11
  - Great question. Easy answer. Hope the gap is closed soon. I'll bet on Ayo.* - Chuck Woodaby April 14, 2026, 23:55:09
    - I'll assume you're referring to Red Kerr '59 rather than Eddie Johnson '89 - complainant April 15, 2026, 7:28:27
      - Or Don Ohl in '66, - larue33 April 15, 2026, 7:44:50
        
        Spoon 78-79 was pretty good too - Blazer April 15, 2026, 11:45:07
        
        I checked Leonard and Cook—I thought they might have had a sneaky good year in there - DT April 15, 2026, 11:58:10
        
        Yeah--Cook had one really solid year as a Laker, but still just a role player - Blazer April 15, 2026, 12:35:49
i cant believe the bulls traded him* - VIV April 14, 2026, 12:22:19
- Thank God for Jaden Ivey so he could rid us of the terrorist AKME regime. - Warrin'_Illini April 14, 2026, 13:23:45
- I'm so happy they did* - illini21 April 14, 2026, 12:25:48
  - Me too. Put the final nail in my fandom. - digs April 15, 2026, 10:17:19
