These players are important for the future and after day one here are some updates.
Tim Finke
Tim Finke struggled with his shot on Friday going 2-of-11 from the field and only shooting 16-percent from the three-point arc. He finished the night with 5 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the Meanstreets victory.
I would still love Finke to come to Champaign, but I think, over the past few years, we have all seen how streaky of a shooter he is. He can knock down a shot from just about anywhere on the court, but he can also go 18-percent from the field sometimes too.
