If you don't have Banks in the rotation this year you might not have him next year and Kopp only had one year left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something happens in the game for Kopp and his nerves affect him. Now that Walsh can do on court coaching I’m hoping he fixes whatever Kopp had an issue in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 give me DD and McNeil and unfortunately someone out the door. DD and McNeil would be more impactful to our team than the likely candidate to transfer out assuming TJD returns which we should find out soon due to the due date to pull your name out of the draft.

NCHoosier32 Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 i think Kopp not starting is wishful thinking. i know that is my wish, but i'll be surprised if he doesn't start. if he doesn't start, he's going to get solid minutes. i'm fine with him being a shooter off the bench. i just hope that we have enough guys who are good enough to push him to the bench. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple candidates, but I think Bates is the guy. It would be great if he could make a big leap this offseason and come back on the way to realizing the potential of a top 30-40 recruit. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll go one step further and say Bates is the key to making this line-up resemble the line up Woody envisions. If we are in February next year and the starting backcourt is XJ, JHS and Scoop we will be in very, very good shape. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AxnJxn Posted April 22, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Couple of notes on Kopp: 1. He's not "putrid" on defense. He's probably average at best, but he does a good job of keeping his man in front of him, cutting off angles, and closing out. Admittedly, he seems to struggle with rebounding, but that's not a huge deal if you have guys like Race, TJD, JG, and others on the court with him. 2. IMO, he's clearly a leader on this team on and off the court. Seems pretty obvious on the court, as he's one of the first people to try to calm everyone down and get them huddled up and focused, and all indicators are that he is very well liked off the court. Starting Kopp isn't that big of a deal, particularly early in the season. It gives the younger guys a chance to ease into the intensity of next level play, and ideally, you can eventually move Kopp into more of a reserve role if the younger guys really start to show production, and I would wager that he would be ok with whatever role you ask him to fill. In short, there are some valuable intangibles with a guy like Kopp, particularly if you aren't pairing him with someone like Stewart, who was essentially the same player in a number of ways. 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
