Saturday 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 27.
Best of the Day: Isaiah Roby
Dixon’s Isaiah Roby was the only one of the five players to lose but he had one of the better/intriguing performances of the night.
- Isaiah Roby (Dixon)- 28 minutes, 15 points, 5/10 FG, 1/3 3PT, 4/5 FT, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 6 turnovers, and +2 in a 126-96 loss to the Jazz.
The rest of the performances of the day:
- JaVale McGee (Franciscan/Cavaliers)- 16 minutes, 6 points, 2/5 FG, 2/2 FT, 3 rebounds, an assist, 2 blocks, a turnover, and +4 in a 112-109 win over the 76ers.

- Keita Bates-Diop (University/Spurs)- 8 minutes, 3 personal fouls, and +7 in a 117-114 win over the Pelicans.
- Derrick Rose (Simeon/Knicks)- 38 minutes, 17 points, 6/11 FG, 1/3 3PT, 4/4 FT, a game-high 11 assists, 4 steals, 4 turnovers, and +11 in a 110-107 win over the Pacers. This is his first double-double since January 22, 2020 when he had one in a win against the Sacramento Kings.
