Fourth Round, #19 Overall Pick 

Underwood Selects Brandon Paul 

Underwood's Thoughts: "There were a lot of good players to pick here at the shooting guard position. Ultimately, Brandon won out with his size, versatility, slashing and shooting abilities. There is a lot of untapped potential with Brandon, especially as an off-ball cutter. Brandon will be asked to defend his butt off on the perimeter. I am very excited to add a player of this talent and person of this character at this point in the draft."

Fourth Round, #20 Overall Pick 

Team Groce Selects Trent Frazier 

Groce's Thoughts: "I recruited Trent to Illinois but never got to coach him. Now I am going to coach one of the ultimate competitors to ever wear a Fighting Illini uniform. Trent can play on or off the ball and slots in perfectly with Terrence Shannon Jr. and Will Riley. I am so excited about our offensive firepower. Of course, Trent will lock down our perimeter defense while Morez does the same down low."

Fourth Round, #21 Overall Pick 

Team Weber Selects Robert Archibald 

Weber's Thoughts: "Robert is a nasty, fierce competitor who further aligns with my team's toughness. I will never question Arch's effort on the court. He will be our anchor down low. Through the first four rounds, Team Weber has forged an identity of being a team that will outwork its opponent with Arch, Sergio, Marcus and Luther. I like how our team has taken shape."

Fourth Round, #22 Overall Pick 

Team Self Selects Alfonso Plummer 

Self's Thoughts: "Alfonso is too good of a shooter to pass up at this point in the draft. With Keaton running the point, Alfonso will have plenty of opportunities to be a sniper for our team. Like Matthew Mayer, Plummer is a kid who has to be respected at all times as he can go off at any moment and carry our team."

Fourth Round, #23 Overall Pick 

Team Kruger Selects Dain Dainja

Kruger's Thoughts: "Dain is the post scorer that we need. I had great success at Florida with a similar big man named Demetrious Hill. I think Dain can have a similar impact on my Illinois team. Dain is a dancing bear down low. His foot work is impeccable, as is his soft touch. I expect Dee Brown to push Dain to be the very best player he can be."

Fourth Round, #24 Overall Pick 

Team Henson Selects Kevin Turner 

Henson's Thoughts: "I am excited to pair someone with Kevin's scoring/shooting ability with a point guard in Deron Williams who can set him up all day long. Kevin brings much needed outside shooting to our team. He is a player not to be slept on, someone who will fit in seamlessly with the rest of my team."
