Illinois freshman stars Kasparas Jakucionis and Will Riley both declared for the NBA draft on Monday afternoon. The duo combined for nearly 30 points per game and will leave a massive hole for Brad Underwood to replace for next season. Jakucionis is a projected top 10 pick. Riley is a projected mid-20’s pick.

Campbell played well enough and earned that spot. I met Campbell last year at a Korn Ferry Tournament in Springfield.
