Joey Wagner of the Herald & Review told his Twitter following, “Give me your five #Illini football players you would want to see suite up for the second half of this basketball game.” This got me thinking; what would really be the best five you could put out there for the Illini?
I think the two main players on any basketball team are the No. 1 (point guard) and No. 5 (center). These two make the entire process work, in my opinion. So, the No.1 needs to be the play-caller. This person needs to be the leader on the court.
