17 PTS, 15 REB & 3 BLK. Feel & timing as a defensive anchor continue to progress. 6-9 2024 Illini commit is one of the most physical figures at the E16 level.

Austin Hutcherson should be an instant impact weapon on the Illini wing in 21-22
6-7 scorer who can come off screens to shoot, jump out of the gym & create off the PnR
Bases his game off of James Bouknight, D Booker, Zach LaVine & Luka
Chris Duarte-like two-way perimeter tools

Relentlessly preached the importance of Jacob Grandison to the Illini lineup last season
It doesn't jump off the screen, but his ability identify shooters, read + react & space the floor as a playmaker drives efficient offense
Illinois were 14-2 with the 6-6 wing as a starter

Recent Illini offer, Dillon Mitchell ⬇️
"Illinois likes to push the ball fast, get into transition & get to the hoop by making plays for others which fits my style. Visiting Champaign is something I’m really excited about doing. It's a great school, I’m really excited about it."

"Most don’t realize how high Dior's basketball IQ is. He's excellent navigating ball screens as a facilitator or a scorer. He is uber-talented as a clever playmaker with his natural offensive instincts within a team concept."
