That said, both Woody and Kenya have said in interviews that they are preparing Geronimo for the 3 next season. I think this should pretty much end the Geronimo 3/4 debate. Whether or not he'll be successful is another debate. JG future is at the 3. Its on him to improve. Whether we like it or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad Galloway made a big jump in year 2 or he might have been Scott'ed. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted May 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 i'll tell ya, i find myself thinking about Reneau this morning. i don't think there's any way he starts and it's hard to see Race or Trayce playing less minutes than last season, but i'm assuming Malik is gonna be a stud sooner than later. that is exciting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Murray and Johnny Davis developed. Victor Oladipo developed. Frank Kaminsky went from redshirting to being NPOY before he was done. Tom Coverdale, with his limited amount of raw athleticism, went from barely playing as a freshman to being the starting PG on a team that reached the National Championship. Renault is good. But, that does not automatically make him better than Geronimo. We all hope that JG develops and develops at a rate that would make him a 1st team all American if not NPOY, as you pointed out. Im not arguing, I'm hopeful this kid continues to develop and elevate his game. I'll ask the question this way. Is a junior JG expected to be as good or better than a freshman, near consensus All-American TJD? Probably not. Malik is right there with TJD as a frosh if not slightly more skilled. Now what that means for playing time? Probably means JG needs to develop on the perimeter so he can be justified playing with 2 other front court guys at the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its interesting how many times we have had this discussion about a 6'7 forward who is uber athletic but doesn't/wont get enough time at the 4 and isn't quite skilled enough with his handles and shot to play the 3.

Ughhh, so much potential if he could get it together though. A decent 3 point shooter. Super strong, heck of a rebounder. Can guard basically all 4s not named Keegan Murray. Can guard most 5s. Just would like him to dribble, pass, and guard 3s as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing where to be, what the guy is going to do and how to react with muscle memory and not think about what to do. he doesn't have the handles yet either for a 3 and his shot is more of a 4. He is a slow shooting 3 point shooter and a true 3 will be in his face. He need a quicker release. He is uber talented. Just in that bad height/skill level at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue7 Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Is JG the IU Aaron Wheeler….you can see it but he never quite gets there he has the talent and size of Liddell or Gillis.

slojoe Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 We were a very good defensive team last year which is supported by our 24th overall ranking in Kenpom. I think we have an excellent chance to be an elite defense this year and wind up in the top 10 in Kenpom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have said--- CZ, TJD, Bryant, and Vonleh were going to play the college 4. No, they weren't ever going to do that, and didn't ever do that.

JaybobHoosier Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Starting lineup that I’m hoping for: TJD Race Tamar JHS X Really hoping Kopp doesn’t start, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kopp over Tamar. I think the 2nd unit needs more veteran presence, and Kopp, JG, and Galloway can provide that. I don’t want to see the NBA sub patterns again!! 2nd Unit: JHS/Xavier (Always see one of them out there) Galloway Kopp Geronimo Reneau Then a very solid backup after that with Banks, Gunn, Leal, and Duncomb. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUguy Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 I don't know how it will all shake out, but: I'm pretty sure that both kids from MD will play an awful lot, as will Bates. Pretty sure that unless Kopp shoots 50% from outside, his PT will continue to shrink. Trayce, Race and X will be the backbone. If someone else proves to be the deadeye shooter we have been missing, he will also get a lot of time. Finally, since Duncombe is our only true "big man", not only will he not be redshirted, but somehow MW will find a way to get him more PT. Even with the limited time I saw him last year, it's clear he has more range, finesse and better shooting skills than that 7'4" monster they had/still have (?) at Purdue. Just needs a bit more weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macomb hoosier Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Big Ten Minutes suggest TJD RT XJ MK and TG, but considering there may be overlap between TG and MK, I say there is a chance we see MK moving to the bench, especially of Galloway can develop his spot up 3 this summer. TJD 31.7 RT 30.8 XJ 28.7 PS 25.8 MK 24.5 TG 23.6 RP 18.4 Bates 13.3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
