Even with that said there are some traits that the current Illinois team holds that compare to current and former NBA players.
I have compared some of the Illinois players to NBA players that I think closely resemble their games and the way they play.
This comparison list I put together doesn’t mean that the Illinois counterpart will become a high-level NBA player or even make it to the league.
In this list, you will see some comparisons on the type of player that a certain member of the Illini might be and then I find their equal in the NBA.
