12. Marcus Domask | 6-6 wing | One year of eligibility | Southern Illinois

The Scout: A three-time All-Missouri Valley member, Domask is a veteran four-year college player that you can slot into your lineup and not worry at all about him being productive. He’s one of those dudes that just knows how to play. He doesn’t need to dribble the ball to death to score. He moves exceedingly well without the ball, has deep range on his jumper, and consistently just finds little creases and openings to score. On top of that, Domask is a terrific passer who averaged 17 points and four assists per game on his way to a first-team all-league berth this year. Southern Illinois used him an awful lot on post-ups in a way that I don’t think a high-major offense will. Domask has also entered the draft, but he’ll likely be able to make more by staying in school. He was Mr. Basketball in the state of Wisconsin in 2019, and everything about his game is tailor-made to be a fit with Greg Gard and the Badgers. You have to wonder if they’d want to get involved as he’d give them a bit more size on the wings this year.

The Fit: Brad Underwood’s teams have usually had high assist rates, but this last one had the lowest of any team he’s ever coached. A guy like Matthew Mayer could get buckets but wasn’t setting up anyone else. Domask will be a major upgrade. He’s a connector. Simply putting him on the floor is going to make Illinois run better offense. He’s one of the best passing wings in the country and also will help replace some of the scoring punch that the Illini loses in Mayer and Terrence Shannon Jr. He’s not as splashy a name as those two, but Underwood needs to eliminate the volatility he just dealt with this past season, and Domask was a smart addition to help in that area.
