I didn’t mean only threes - he definitely created lots of his own looks in general.
I see him more as a mid 2nd rounder. I think there will be a few one and dones that get undervalued due to the odd Covid year. And you might want to snag those players in the late first-early second range.

Is this a radio interview or something or Indiana putting on a press conference for an assistant coach?
I believe this is an official PC

Pretty normal over the last year. UM has had availabilities with all assistants.

Yeah, no doubt his shot creation profile in the NBA will look like his first two years more than this past year. A low usage guy who plays plus defense. How much he’s able to knock down threes will determine whether he’s a 15 mpg off the bench or a quality staring 3&d wing for championship contending type teams.
Wojcik was fired as the Charleston HC in 2014 for verbally abusing his players.

So he’s a good fit?

Charleston layup aside, doesn’t this feel like a double down on old-school IzzoBall? Former military PG now in his fourth stint under Tom?
From an MSU fan on reddit. This would drive me insane but it is on-brand for Izzo:
- Walker (25) / Akins (5) / Hoggard (5) / Loyer (5)
- Brown (25) / Akins (5) / Christie (5) / Hoggard (5)
- Christie (15) / Brooks (10) / Brown (5)
- Hall (20) / Hauser (20)
- Bingham (20) / Marble (10) / Sissoko (10)
- Brown 30
- Walker 25
- Christie 20
- Hall 20
- Bingham 20
- Hauser 20
- Akins 10
- Brooks 10
- Marble 10
- Sissoko 10
- Hoggard 10
- Loyer 5

6’8" Gabe Brown, who played all of his minutes this past season at the 3/4, is going to primarily play the 2?

He’s a SG and 3 star in the composite, 4 star top 75 guy to 247. From what I can tell Illinois has 1 scholarship remaining assuming Kofi is back.
On another note, I went over to Illinois’ 247 site and it’s a hilarity of delusion. Most are convinced Miller is coming back, which okay that’s possible. But in recent visits I had seen posters seriously talking about the idea of Duke Freshman PG DJ Steward pulling out of the draft and transferring to Illinois.
Now they’re openly talking about the fact that EJ Liddell has said he won’t go back to OSU unless they get a true 5 (no idea where they got that or if there’s any truth to it), so they’re discussing him coming to Illinois to join up with Kofi.

Yeah I wasn’t too sure about that positionally but I thought he made the best/most accurate projection I’ve seen so far
I’m just trying to imagine Brown as a secondary ballhandler and creator…and it’s not a pretty picture.
A few weeks back, one of their insiders was talking about how there was a player at another school that was considering a transfer to Illinois, and would have drawn a “wow” reaction. They speculated on Steward, Liddell, etc.
Doesn’t exactly seem to have a lot of merit at this point lol
I thought that was Armaan Franklin.
