NBA teams had him as too small to play PF and not enough jump shooting to play SF. I really always wished a team would have given him the shot. He could have played undersized PF like Barkely or Aguire.He played undersized in College and learned how to score and rebound and defend bigger players. SAD that was my favorite team of all time in college BBall.
That was the best basketball team in the country that year, and the best Illini team ever. I enjoyed watching them play almost as much as my beloved Hoosiers.
I'm surprised that he didn't play much or at all in the NBA. I know he was 6'5/6'6, but he was athletic enough to play as a 3/SF at that level.

He was my favorite player back then and I still do not know how he did not make it big in the NBA.
