Monday evening, five former Illinois prep athletes saw minutes in a NBA game. Below I look into and share each of their NBA performances from February 15.
Best of the Day: Derrick Rose
The New York Knicks are 3-1 since Derrick Rose joined the team.
- Derrick Rose (Simeon/Knicks)- 24 minutes, 8 points, 3/9 FG, 0/1 3PT, 2/2 FT, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers, and +8 in a 123-112 win over the Hawks.
The rest of the performances of the day:
- JaVale McGee (Franciscan/Cavaliers)- 17 minutes, 7 points, 3/5 FG, 1/2 FT, an offensive rebound, 4 total rebounds, a turnover, and -4 in a 129-98 loss to the Warriors.
