Illinois basketball: What Andre Curbelo will bring to the Illini

Curbelo is a 6-foot point guard out of Long Island Lutheran High School. He is ranked as the No. 55 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 7 ranked point guard in the nation. Curbelo is a floor general who will bring a variety of skills to this Illinois basketball team next year.

The first thing that stands out to me about Curbelo’s game is his play-making ability. He has great court awareness and a high IQ. He does a nice job of getting the ball to open teammates. He also does an excellent job of penetrating opposing defenses and making them collapse.
