My Take

Brandon Paul is the kind of player whose resume rewards a second look. Being named Illinois Mr. Basketball in 2009 is no small thing in a hoops-mad state, and at Illinois he became only the second Fighting Illini ever to clear 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 300 assists and 100 steals. That stat line tells me he scored, but also rebounded, distributed and defended, which is rarer than pure bucket-getting. At 193 cm he had the size to do all of it. Carrying that complete game overseas to the French league shows a self-belief I find genuinely impressive.
