High-volume shot-maker with deep-range gravity and on-ball polish
In the 2019-20 season, Zach Copeland led Illinois State at 14.5 points per game and hit 79 threes, showing the kind of shot-making that bends defenses and opens everything else up. He’s not just a spot-up gunner: Illinois State notes a 32-point, 7-assist, zero-turnover game against Drake, a rare combo that hints at real creation and poise under pressure. The big selling point is his offensive versatility and confidence; the caution flag is that he’s best valued for scoring punch, so a team should want him to be a primary perimeter engine, not a low-usage role player.
