Gonna be in the nba after is sophomore year keep representing 🇵🇷🤙🏼❗️

[@Jets33606]

Maybe he should stay 2 more years . I. cannot wait to see it in the nba . Puerto Rico en la casa

[@user-bc6ok1yh4s]

Curbelo keeps the rest of the illini players alert and focused, due to his passing skills. I enjoy watching him play!!!

[@huckfinn9225]

#5 makes this team exciting to watch. This is a primetime player. This kid needs to be under the lights. Makes for good television. Razzle Dazzle.

[@jerithgunther9536]

Give him the rock baby!!! Love two watch him play

[@michaelmusial5132]

Illini cult hero his freshman year was special💔

[@realMDizzy]

Going to lead the nation in assists next year.

[@jacobgraham813]

I loved seeing bro progress like he did 💪

[@captainramius790]

As a michigan fan, big respect to Brad Underwood and his recruiting skills. This kid is special. Will be a lottery pick in the NBA draft after his sophomore season

[@burneraccount2290]

To be fair that’s Antigua’s recruit, not Underwood

[@nhindman100]

This didn’t age well

[@sblizzy]

He should’ve been a McDonald’s All American last year. He puts on light shows every time he plays.

[@controlleddemolition9112]

I don't "rave" about too many players, but this kid is a special talent. He's not quite "there" yet. He still hasn't figured out how to use his talents to be highly efficient. Once he does, and I think he will, he's going to be a star at the next level as well. He's as close to "unguardable" as it gets. He handles the ball like a magician. He sees the floor well and can be very creative in his passing. He's incredibly quick and agile. If he can't blow right by his man to get to the rim, he can stop on a dime and let the defender overrun the play. Basically, he can get any shot he wants, and if he learns to think "shoot first, pass second" and locks in on the rim, he'll make those easy shots.

[@PappPolo773]

Once he gets a 3 point shot.. watch out

Dude is coming of age. Pr representado. Blessings to him.

[@edkulk2777]

Glad to see Curbelo getting some recognition... after Illinois got reamed from every direction on everything else.

[@pdgutierrez8784]

Watch Illinois in big ten tournament: Ayo, Carbelo, Frazier, Miller are 4 guards who handle the ball & can score. Match them with Kofi , then spread the floor. Going to be hard to match up defense against that. Can play Williams as a guard, Tyler Underwood, Coleman Hawkins ? go Illini!

[@huckfinn9225]

Congrats Dre. Hail The Orange.

[@noahgulley9221]

should have one freshman of the year

💯

[@youngprince9776]

True

[@sblizzy]

Agreed...

[@tylerivezaj2]

How can a team be way overrated with only 3 losses. That legit makes 0 sense and you lose all credibility in what you say. Illinois has double their losses. What does that make them?

[@flare1939]

@@upbeatproductions7614 how are we overrated when we lost 3 games, 2 of which was when we had an injured starter?? Yall michigan haters really reach sometimes

[@mayforddavis9291]

MVP of the Big Ten Tournament! AC makes the ILLINI better and AD benefits.

[@Cerdafide_00]

He’s a winner!

[@TPM188]

Remind me of Tony Parker.

[@blkdank1]

Cant wait to see flashy in these tournaments. He's going to put on a show. By the way who got freshman of the year then?

[@sblizzy]

Hunter Dickenson from Michigan

[@silasstowell3709]

He reminds me of Jalen Brunson in college the way he plays in the posts and passes

[@jerithgunther9536]

All-American in the Macking

[@mayforddavis9291]

In the Big Ten Championship game there were 4 Chicagoland players; 3 on the ILLINI!!

[@chrismarano2858]

Curbelo is a longer Steve Nash

[@mwilging]

In all honesty, Steve Nash stands at 6-3. Curbelo is listed 6-1, but he plays much bigger! Kid's a stud and will be a starter for sure next season

[@controlleddemolition9112]

I'd say a little of Nash, but potentially more Iverson or Westbrook. He's going to be a scorer even if he never becomes a great 3-pt shooter. He can get any shot he wants.

[@sblizzy]

@@controlleddemolition9112 Look up Nate Archibald highlights. To me he is Nate the Great all over again.

[@controlleddemolition9112]

@@sblizzy I don't need to look up Tiny Archibald highlights. I rememeber him well. It's a good comparison.

[@isaacmarcus99]

[@pdgutierrez8784]

Okay, these highlights of Andre Carbelo are great. (but we need to recall all the turn overs he had this year. He is getting better, cutting down on his turn overs. Next year he will start making 3 point shots, sine he hangs with Adam Miller, another Illinois guard. Miller is not as flashy but he is smooth and can shoot 3 pointers.

[@jonbradshaw1933]

The only post I've seen where they are hating on Belo and showing love to Miller. I think we can both agree Andre has outperformed expectations while Adam Miller has been a little disappointing

[@pdgutierrez8784]

@@jonbradshaw1933 you are so correct. Adam Miller was the player of the year from the state of Illinois, so you know he has game. He can drive the ball, but Ayo and Carvelo do that so Adam is only trying to fit in. He has sacrificed like Williams, abd Frazier this year. Illinois plays to win, like the National Championship!

@@m8ztv375 i agree it should be curbelo, however, your argument is pretty dumb since 2 bad plays dont overshadow his entire season

[@brycspain]

I love Curbelo and I'm an Illini fan but KM from Iowa should have won it. The Big 10 basketball office is really messed up because they didn't make Illinois co-big ten champions.

[@adamkoebele4714]

I think it’s more of wanting to give Curbelo an award because he’s setting up to be the face of the big ten with his play and his personality. They couldn’t give him Freshman of the Year because he wasn’t as important to his team as Dickinson was, but they gave him the next best thing.

[@braxtonbixler677]

Keegan Murray was robbed, less minutes, more rebounds, blocks, better 2 point%, 3 point%, ft%, less turnovers, less fouls, same steals
