Many of the all-time greats have played power forward for the Illini. So, I am going to lay out the top three power forwards in program history, as well as two additional players who barely missed the cut.
To make this list, players had to have good stats and at least made one All-Big Ten team or been named as an All-American. NCAA tournament appearances will matter, but if a player doesn’t have individual success and tournament appearances, they might not make it on this list.
The first honorable mention spot goes to Nick Weatherspoon.
