They have more than enough capable bigs for sure, but Williams is likely one of the top 20 players in the nation. 

That being said, it's likely he won't stay in the draft.

Trevion would have an okay NBA career....if it was 1991.  Not many Earthbound 6'10" centers who just back their way in the NBA anymore.

Ohio State point guard CJ Walker is heading to the professional ranks. Walker announced on his personal Twitter account on Monday evening that he is going pro and plans to hire an agent and forgo his final year of eligibility at the college level.

One of the strangest players in college basketball -- Ball State's K.J. Walton -- is in the portal.  6'3" guard will be in his seventh season;  he started his career at Missouri and played there for two years, starting 24 games and averaging 6 ppg in about 15 mpg before transferring to Ball State.  Sat out his transfer season, averaged 13 points and 4 boards as a junior;  next year he was limited to 10 games due to injury and redshirted;  came back in 2020-1 as a sixth year senior and average 16 points and 6 rebounds.  He's basically a 6'3" guard who can't play the point but can get to the rim (shot 54%  last year) and rebounds well for his size.  Has already played 125 games.  He'll basically be playing his third senior season next year;  started 2018-9 as a senior and played ten games before redshirting;  played 2019-20 as a second senior seaosn and 2020-1 will be his third.

I know Brunk is gone, but in a hypothetical world, with those three players on next year's roster, and starting along side Rob and TJD.... would our starting 5 average age be older than the Chicago Bull's starting 5? Lol

 But still younger than Wisconsin’s.

Woody was right about Trayce. He doesn’t have bad form. Just gotta get him comfortable taking jump shots during games.

Honestly I have no hope that it gets fixed. No idea how a coach’s son has a shot that awkward

Maybe his shot was always jacked but maybe not. In HS he injured his shooting wrist 2 years in a row. It's possible that's when it became so bad. That's just me speculating and giving him and his dad the benefit of the doubt. I could be wrong.

If he can figure out how to make it go in, I don't care what it looks like. Hulls had a weird shot that started at the side of his head. Worked for him.

Some people have unorthodox shots that they can make work through repetition. Albeit, much more challenging. TG seems likely to be one of these cases.  
 

He is/was the player he was in HS.  “Sneaky” athletic, better ball handler than expected. Good driver, tenacious defender, not a good shooter from FT to 3 PT.    
 

I like him as a player but at his size in college he needs to be able to shoot the rock cuz you can’t making a living driving in the B1G.
