The obvious Illinois player to don this list is Ayo Dosunmu. He is the current leader on the team and is someone who has NBA aspirations following his sophomore season.
Ayo came into the Illinois program has a highly touted recruit from Chicago. He was rated as a five-star combo-guard who was the No. 30 player in the class of 2018 and the No. 1 player in the state of Illinois. He didn’t disappoint in year one either.
The Illini didn’t have the year they wanted last season, going 12-21 which included a second-round out in the Big Ten Tournament.
