Aaliyah Guyton brings efficient scoring and steady playmaking to Illinois
Guyton is a former four-star guard and top-60 national recruit who gives Illinois a compact, high-upside backcourt piece: she has shown she can score in bunches, shoot from three, and handle the ball without forcing the issue. In the 2024-25 season at Iowa, she averaged 4.7 points in 16.4 minutes while hitting 37.3% from three, and at Illinois she has already flashed bigger-role production, including a 13-point outing in her first start after returning from injury. If you want a guard with shot-making, pace, and developing lead-guard instincts, she fits.
