Coleman also had a strong showing at the Jordan Brand Classic on the all-star game circuit. The 6-foot-4 guard, who officially flipped from Wake Forest to Illinois with a Final Four eve commitment before signing two weeks later, projects to be an immediate contributor in Champaign. Like Keaton Wagler and Kasparas Jakucionis before him.
