Illinois Basketball: Illini Recruits Nike EYBL Schedules This Weekend
Christian Negron (Mac Irvin Fire)
Illinois needs rebounding on their team and Christian Negron is that man. He isn’t much of a scorer but he can rebound pretty well.
Negron is only seeing 16.3 minutes per game in this EYBL, but he is taking advantage of the time he does receive.
Through 10 games so far, Negron is averaging 5.4 PPG and 5.7 RPG. He doesn’t score at a high clip but it is an efficient clip.

Right now Negron is shooting 45-percent from the field. That is a pretty solid number. The number I am most impressed with is his free throw shooting, though. He is 87-percent from the free throw line.
I want the Illini to get rebounding and that is what Negron would do in Champaign. He is a decently sized player at 6-foot-7 and he can grab boards. Sign him up.
