Illinois Fighting Illini 30 for 30: My Favorite Illinois Men's Basketball Players of My 30-Year Fandom, Fantasy Draft Intro

---

With my list of my 30 favorite Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball players of my 30-year fandom complete, I thought it would be fun to do a fantasy draft with these players. 

As a recap, here is the final list of players, including breakdowns by: 

• Position. 
• Commitments. 
• Coaches. 

Here is how the fantasy draft will work. 

1) As there are 30 players, I will draft six teams of five players each. 

2) The teams will be named after the six Illinois coaches of my 30-year fandom: Team Henson, Team Kruger, Team Self, Team Weber, Team Groce and Team Underwood. The first pick will go to Team Henson followed by Kruger, Self, Weber, Groce and Underwood. 

3) Draft positioning will work in a snake position, meaning the person who drafts last in the first round will get the first pick of the second round. 

4) Each day I will release a new round of the draft. 

Here is the draft positioning:
