If they play 4 in a small ball lineup, I think TW starts over JS. But I can't rule out the possibility of both playing at the same time since TW has better ball handling and playmaking ability, so JS at 4 and TW at 3 is possible. I see Hunter as a wild card. He was a solid high 4-star at high school level, but his development and game-time experience was significantly delayed due to his health issue. I know some of us here have very high expectation on him, but at this point, I'd expect him coming out the bench to play backup at 3 spot. so... who starts over Hunter at the 3? It won't be Smith. The difference between Watford and Smith is... Watford is 6'9, so you call it a 3/4 tweener. We call it a stretch 4 (which he absolutely is).... he and TJD would be an incredible tandem. Watford, TJD, Hunter, Phinisee, and Durham is very nice starting lineup. sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at our roster, if we don't bring in another tall guard or a quality wing, I think Hunter would have to start. If we go small again and use 3-guard line up (Durham-Green-Phinisee), then I guess Hunter would back up Durham. And of course, I'm expecting Romeo to go pro.

Whether it was because of demands from the AD or whatever reason, we would have better off with that kid (McKinley Wright), assuming he would have come here. I really had hoped that as well as Phinisee has played this year, he would've silenced those pining for Wright. Phinisee is going to be a sharp stick in the eye of every Boilermaker for the next three years. I'll take that over Wright every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather have had a guy that would have been a contributor than one that can't even get off the bench and while beating the fools up north is great, it's not the barometer I use for success. Unless we know that RP wouldn't have come, I'll opt for the better player more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowhunter Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 So Alabama may be firing their coach. LSU probably fires Wade. Watford could have fell in our lap if Memphis didn’t work out. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Miller bolts for say UNLV, that helps IU with Trendon. Especially with Alabama possibly firing their coach not to mention them losing in the 1st rd of NIT to an 8 seed plus LSU in trouble. At least IU won their first game in the NIT and aren't firing their head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 I think he is better than his brother..and could feel a big void we will have in losing Juwan Morgan. I think he would be even better as his outside game looks to be sharper already. I know that ship has sailed but he would be a perfect IU kid.

Hoosierinbham Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Love to see Mike Miller leave, and Avery Johnson stay. Everyone down here knows players don't improve under Johnson. His buyout drops 2 by million in May. His seat will be scorching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
