There are a few players who will be missed, but their departure won’t make a huge impact on the team. Cameron Liss and Matic Vesel are two of those players. They averaged a combined 0.7 points per game for the Illini. But, then you have a handful of other players whose production needs to made up somewhere with the new additions.
From last year’s squad, Illinois is going to need to replace 57.3-percent of the scoring. The departure of seven players is a lot to handle, led by Leron Black who averaged 15.3 PPG. Michel Finke was the next highest scoring departure at 9.
