The NBA Summer League is in full force, and a familiar name is suiting up for the Denver Nuggets. Over the past decade or so, former Illinois basketball players have had their shake at the NBA Summer League.
Illinois basketball fans were quite confused when Giorgi Bezhanishvili decided to depart the program after last season. The reports after he announced his decision to leave the Illini were that he was going back home to his family in the country of Georgia.
For the first time in nearly a decade, the Illinois basketball fanbase will see a player selected in the 2021 NBA Draft. Ayo Dosunmu should be a borderline first-round draft pick this year.
