Illinois basketball currently has one of the most fun players I have ever seen suit up for the Orange and Blue.
No, I am not talking about Ayo Dosunmu, who currently leads the team in scoring. No, I am not talking about Kofi Cockburn, who leads the team in rebounds. The player I am talking about doesn’t even start for the Illini.
