Thursday, six former Illinois prep athletes saw minutes in various NBA games. Below I look into and share each of their NBA performances from February 24.
Best of the Day: Ayo Dosunmu
Just a reminder but many NBA teams let Ayo Dosunmu (Morgan Park) slip to the 38th pick and has become the steal of the NBA Draft. He continues to play strong basketball and is doing it on both ends. He has even made star NBA players look like rookies themselves. Chicago own Ayo Dosunmu is a rising star and is going to make a lot of teams mad that did not draft for a very long time.
- Ayo Dosunmu (Morgan Park/Chicago Bulls)- 34 minutes, 12 points, 5/9 FG, 2/3 3PT, a team-high 2 offensive rebounds (tied with Tristan Thompson), 6 total rebounds, a tram-high 3 assists (tied with 3 others), a game-high 3 blocks), 2 turnovers, and +3 in a 112-108 win over the Atlanta Hawks.
Rest of the Day’s Performances
- Brodric Thomas (Bolingbrook/Boston Celtics)- 5 minutes, 4 points, 2/2 FG, 0/2 FT, an assist, and -4 in a 129-106 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
- Patrick Beverly (Marshall/Minnesota Timberwolves)- 28 minutes, 13 points, 4/12 FG, 4/7 3PT, 1/2 3PT, 2 offensive rebounds, 3 total rebounds, 4 assists, a game-high 2 steals (tied with many), 2 turnovers, and a plus-minus of zero in a 119-114 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
- John Konchar (West Chicago/Memphis Grizzlies)- 18 minutes, 5 points, 2/3 FG, 1/2 3PT, 3 offensive rebounds, 6 total rebounds, an assist, a block, and a plus-minus of zero in a 119-114 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
- JaVale McGee (Hales Franciscan/Phoenix Suns)- 18 minutes, 9 points, 3/8 FG, 0/1 3PT, 3/4 FT, a team-high 2 offensive rebounds, a team-high 8 total rebounds (tied with Deandre Ayton), a block, 3 turnovers, and +7 in a 124-104 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
