Before Tracy Abrams went down with a season-ending injury for the second year in a row, Illinois still had some question marks regarding the point guard position. Depth behind Abrams was the main issue.
And even after the Illini got a commitment last week from La Salle fifth-year transfer Khalid Lewis, questions will remain.
Jaylon Tate figures to be the man to beat for the spot right now, but John Groce has been using both Malcolm Hill and D.J. Williams at that position during the foreign trip. Leading up to the trip, the two wings got plenty of reps at point guard during practice.
