Illinois Basketball: Brandon Paul Will Make an NBA Team

Paul is attempting to prove his NBA prowess in the Las Vegas Summer League. He is playing for the Philadelphia 76ers and is actually doing pretty well.

Yes, this is the same team with a million first round draft picks from the last four years and most recently Ben Simmons.

But, while Simmons continues to shine, of course, so does Paul.

I had a chance to watch a few of Paul’s summer league games this year and every time I watch I say to myself that this is an NBA caliber guard.

Paul has all the tools to be a solid run-of-the-mill NBA player.
