DunkinDipo Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 4 hours ago, IU Scott said: We will gain JHS, Banks and Gunn while losing Durr, RP, Lander and Stewart. That looks like a gain to me and we keep our best players while other teams lose their best players. IF we keep our best players. We aren't even certain who is returning for sure yet. TJD did put his name in the draft which he didn't do the last 2 years so it's probably 50/50 if I had to guess. We need another addition bottom line regardless of whether he returns or not.

If Bates is a 25-28mpg guy, do we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure IF he and JG both have breakout years we could be pretty dang good if TJD stays or we can get a quality big to replace him. But I'm tired of relying on if's and hope for breakouts...I'd rather have some more almost certain contributors. And I really think we need to upgrade for Kopp. Maybe Dennis will be the guy...

02Hoosier Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 I mean I understand and appreciate Woodson’s demand for good defense, but it feels like we need an injection of offense and nobody on the roster gives me a lot of confidence that those needs will be met. Here’s to hoping I’m wrong. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't studied his game, but from what I gather, his real value is going to be defense on the wing, with the hope he regains his shooting from earlier in his career. I seem to recall he shot respectably his freshman year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well late in games, especially where we squandered it, we needed defense on the wing if you can recall Johnny Davis in both games, Branham for OSU coming down every trip late, and Murray popping 8/10 from three. If we had a defensive stopper on the wing late in the game, we arguably could have won about four more games without too much of a leap of imagination. EDIT, you could argue having a mobile defender on the ball might have stymied Ron Harper on his prayer.

ledies22 Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 for the last couple of years we have been begging for snipers. We got two this year. I am willing to sacrifice the +40% three point shooters for someone that can get 33% ish that has at least some capabilities of putting the ball on the floor and driving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we don't need to gamble on marginal guys like this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is good but man we need some shooters and this guy isn't it. Yes we had problems with a couple of players on the wings at times, but one problem we almost always had was 3-pt shooting. While I think some of our guys will improve beyond the arc I would like to bring in a guy that is already good from there. Just think how many games we would have won if we had shot better from 3-pt land, especially considering the Hoosiers defense was already pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButlerHoosier Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) I agree I mean honestly from my nose bleed seats perspective we need a big guy a 6'9 to 7' rim runner big guy that gobbles up rebounds like the cookie monster blocks shots like a father does to his children has an inside game like a baby's bottom smooth yet explosive and loves IU basketball like it is a religion.

Not if both Race and Trayce comes back. Also how many 6'10 to 7'0 are there out there in the portal. Also if there are pretty good they won't come here if both Race or Trayce are back.
