Illinois Basketball: DJ Steward is a perfect fit for the Illini

I have said it numerous times, the Illini could be in a sticky situation after this season when it comes to the guard roles on the team. Ayo Dosunmu will be departing and so will his backup, Andres Feliz. That will leave a massive gap at the No. 1 guard spot. Depending on how good of a season Trent Frazier has, he could be gone as well. This is why the class of 2020 is so important. Adding someone like DJ Steward would make the transition, from the current guard regime to the new guard regime, seamless.
