Official 2004-2005 Fighting Illini Basketball Thread

[Aces McGee]

He's had so much hype, especially before last season, when he supposedly played so well with USA Basketball over the summer. But even though his scoring average went up, he took a step back in the pretty much all other statistical categories.

I've only seen him in his national TV games, and when I have, he's always had a pretty cold shooting night. My impression has been that he clearly has the athleticism and scoring ability to be a terrific player, but his floor game needs a lot of improvement. However, I figured that Clark and other Illini/Big Ten fans have seen more of him than I have, so I'm willing to defer to them at this point.
