Jon Ekey brings 3-and-D size, rebounding, and clutch shot-making to Illinois
In his 2013-14 season at Illinois, Jon Ekey played in all 35 games with 23 starts and averaged 7.3 points and 4.8 rebounds, while also giving Illinois a valuable stretch-forward threat as a career 36.5% three-point shooter. [2][1] His differentiators are clear: he can space the floor, defend and rebound from the forward spot, and has a history of impact plays, including a late three at Iowa that helped seal a road win. [2][3] He looks like a strong fit for teams needing a tough, versatile role player rather than a high-usage scorer. [1][2]
