Illinois’ Will Riley will enter the 2025 NBA Draft, he told Jonathan Givony of ESPN.
Riley is currently projected as the No. 15 pick by ESPN.
Riley averaged 12.6 points and 4.1 rebounds and was named Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year.
“I like studying Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Kevin Durant — players with similar body frames as mine,” said Riley. “I watch how they get to their spots and create open looks. Those are guys you can’t stop. I aspire to be like them but also to be like myself. I have a unique game.”
