Crazy that both he and Jabari went to Simeon, but Jabari ended up being the more heralded, went to Duke, and was the #2 pick in the draft. Kendrick went to U of I, got into some trouble and had to leave. Ended up going to Oakland. Went undrafted. Now he’s leading all rookies in scoring and starts and Jabari is a 6th man.
Living 30 mins from the U of I campus, I watched a good amount of Kendrick Nunn's games.
It seems Illinois cant have any luck. They get ditched by Eric Gordon, Cliff Alexander tries to humiliate them on tv, Jereme Richmond actually chose the Illini and was a top 25 pick, but thought he was better than he was, entered the draft, didnt get picked, and got into a bunch of trouble. They kick Nunn off the squad, he transfers to Oakland, and is now in the NBA.
I think the only Illini player in the NBA today is Meyers leonard
I'm not sure if Brandon Paul is on roster or not
