RANK

Lanky shooter. Needs to bulk up and don't love his game inside the 3 point line but big time shooter that attacks the glass. Not there defensively. Kyshawn George

RANK

Riley is a good scorer who gets to the rim and shoots the ball well. His defense is iffy. His playmaking is solid.

#10

RANK

Good shooter and connective passer. Doesn’t have great burst which limits his upside as a driver. Has some motor concerns defensively but has upside because of how he moves at 6ft8. He has real perimeter creation flashes.

RANK

Will Riley struggled against ranked opponents Tennessee, Wisconsin and Arkansas over Illinois' last four games. He can be too dependent on contested shotmaking, but there's no real concern over the 18-year-old's shooting.

Off the dribble, he's shown he can effectively create with his handle, change of direction and long strides. And he has clear touch around the key.

Riley may divide scouts due to a lack of length, strength and explosiveness that limits him on drives and finishes. At some point, though, teams figure to be too enticed by the 6'8" size and perimeter skill.

Define. Bucket. Getter.

Shows very good potential for a scorer in the NBA. the jumper seems ready, and he can get to the rim nice.
