Nnanna Egwu is the first Illini player that pops up. He is currently averaging 2 points and 2 rebounds per game for the Detroit Pistons. In the first game for the Pistons, Egwu played 7 minutes and managed to pull down 2 rebounds and had a block as well. In his most recent game, Egwu played 20 minutes and finished the night with 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.
I really want to see Egwu stick in the NBA this time around. He has dabbled in just about every basketball league in the world and now I want him to finally make it to the league.
