Brad Underwood isn't trying to replace Illinois' departed NBA lottery pick with one player. His solution may be much more interesting.Illinois enters the new season with significant continuity from last year's Final Four roster, but the Illini still have to replace an enormous amount of offensive creation from their backcourt. And according to Brad and Tyler Underwood, Illinois' solution is essentially to put five “quarterbacks” on the floor. On today's Locked On Illini, Sunny Verma breaks down what that means and why Illinois' offense could look significantly different this season.Rather than relying on one or two players to dominate the basketball, Illinois wants an offense filled with players capable of attacking, passing, reading the defense and keeping the ball moving. 🏀 Andrej Stojaković taking another step as a playmaker🏀 David Mirković's potential as a facilitator🏀 What Quentin Coleman brings immediately🏀 Stefan Vaaks' shooting ability🏀 Illinois' “five quarterbacks” philosophy🏀 Why the Illini want to play faster🏀 The gold, silver and bronze shot-selection system🏀 Creating easier offense through an aggressive defense🏀 Why replacing an NBA lottery pick might require an entire team Plus, we switch over to Illinois football after a difficult injury development at running back.
