NNANA EGWU, PISTONS
Illinois' all-time leading shot blocker is averaging four points and 2.7 rebounds in three games in Las Vegas for Detroit's summer squad as well as playing 16.3 minutes per game — fifth most on the team. The 6-foot-11 center also has a blocked shot.
MALCOM HILL, JAZZ
The News-Gazette's 2017 Male Illini of the Year is back for his second summer-league stint after spending last year playing in Germany.
