Boswell. Still a ton of upside at only 19 year old, but already proven too. There’s several guys with more NBA upside but Boswell is the next Illinois All-American.
KJ won’t be around next year. But this season a starting backcourt of KJ & Boswell will challenge for best in the B10. Next year Boswell & DGL will be right back up there again. Jackstys will be a decent RS Freshman next season too. Boswell will be the starting PG, KJ will the be starting 2, but it’ll be just like having two starting PGs. Except one of them will have SG size.
I love the highlights I've seen of Jason Jackstys. He takes it to the hole and slams it home. He has quick ups. Wish he wasn't red shirting. The only reason I see for him doing that is he needs to put on some muscle but other than that, I'd say he looks as ready to play in the post or even on the wing as much as anyone on this team. Not a skills issue with him as far as I can see. He probably is a long term program guy though, like Ty and DGL, so I guess I understand him red shirting from that perspective, because he wants to make sure that when he finally plays, he is a main guy, but one who hasn't lost any a year just riding the bench, but from the clips I've seen, he wouldn't be riding the bench, not if I were coach.
I think the body is the biggest thing. No doubt he has some fun skills. But obviously a very big difference going against high schoolers compared to Big Ten bigs
I think one thing that will be huge for Boswell is he really has transformed his body. Coach Fletch works miracles. He looks stronger, leaner, and more explosive. I think that will help him with confidence going to the rim
