Kerr Kriisa transferring; Top spots for Pac-12 assist leader
Illinois听
The Illini lost freshman guard Skyy Clark to the transfer portal and will also likely lose Terrence Shannon Jr. to the NBA draft. Illinois has no veteran guards on the roster and Kriisa could be just that for them. Kriisa on his own averaged almost half as many assists per game (5.1) as the whole Illinois team (12.4). His shooting could also be important for an Illinois team that didn鈥檛 shoot particularly well from three this past season. With Kriisa leading the offense, Illinois would have one of the better backcourts in the Big 10. He also has two more years of eligibility which would give the Illini time to develop younger guards while Kriisa is the starter.
