A simple Illinois Basketball social media graphic turned into one of the biggest offseason debates among Illini fans.

Should Morez Johnson Jr. have been included alongside other former Illinois players competing in NBA Summer League? Or was Illinois justified in leaving him off after his transfer to Michigan and recent public comments?

In this episode of Locked On Illini, Sunny Verma discusses:

🏀 The controversy surrounding Illinois' Summer League graphic

🏀 Why Morez Johnson's omission has sparked debate

🏀 Keaton Wagler's Summer League debut

🏀 Why fans are overreacting to one game

🏀 Kylan Boswell, Ben Humrichous and former Illini in Summer League

Should Illinois have included Morez Johnson?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
