Thursday evening, six former Illinois prep athletes saw minutes in a NBA game. Below I look into and share each of their NBA performances from February 4.

Best of the Day: Talent Horton-Tucker

Talen Horton-Tucker has become a great role player off the bench for the Los Angeles Lakers. The Simeon product is looking like a second round steal of a draft by LA.
