One of the biggest catalysts behind the Illinois men's college basketball team's run to the Sweet 16 has been Andrej Stojaković. A first-year transfer from California, Stojaković has helped pace the Illini with 13.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. If Illinois is to eventually make a Final Four run, Stojaković will undoubtedly play a huge role in such success.

Stojaković is actually the son of former NBA All-Star Peja Stojaković. The senior Stojaković played 13 seasons in the NBA, made a few All-Star teams, and won the 2011 NBA title with the Dallas Mavericks, his final year in the league. Throughout his professional playing days, he made a name for himself as a career 40 percent 3-point shooter at a high volume. His son hasn't shown he's the same sort of sharpshooter, to be clear, but he does appear to have a similar quality of game sense.
The Illini are certainly very lucky to have the Stojaković's around.
