He brought an edge along with X this year that was needed. When he first transferred, the talk from him and Woodson was one year. Things have changed, maybe. Not sure, just guessing. However, he brings a toughness and a threat from the outside. Like any player, the offseason is important, and if we have tripple threat guards/wings added, he can have terrific value. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help spread the floor and open some driving lanes. If race leaves. I can see Kopp and Geronimo playing the 4. Kopp could play minutes at the 3 and 4. Would work well with a long athletic center that can defend and rebound. Maybe we get lucky and Davis comes back. If race comes back you could play race at the 5 some and Kopp at the 4. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. More about the fact that Kopp is coming back. He doesn’t graduate until December and isn’t transferring to sit out and not have his degree. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would work if we had Kareem at center. 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, my only guess-work is that Kopp was being asked to do things beyond his role. He has never been a ball in hands type of player who creates. He is a very good basketball player who leads a team. Put together 2 more on the perimeter that can create, he has a role that is better for him, catch and shoot.

Popular Post FKIM01 Posted March 26, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 I am getting absolutely sick of IU "fans" dogging IU players. I expect that crap on GBI, but until a player is in the portal, have a little respect and decorum. 13 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were times when ANYONE else should have been playing. He gave those two a lot of leeway, but not others. Stewart was an underrated defensive player but man he had a tendency to lose his guy or foul a three at the worst times, not to mentioned he missed a lot of open threes. Kopp, very similar. IU was a different team when both contributed, but that was few and far between. The BIG is ripe for IU, just need an upgrade in talent, and I think Woody will do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with their play at times. But those injuries don't only effect the games that those players were out. I do know outside of the Wyoming game... PS played under 20mpg from Michigan BTT game and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did but his play along with TJD is the only reason IU won enough games to get into the tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
