Zuckerkorn Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 At least one "pure shooter" is a must, IMO. I don't give a tinker's damn where they're from - Evansville, Indy, Ft. Wayne, S. Bend, or Boogerglob Yugoslavia. We need some strong outside threats. I am not comfortable in relying on player development for that skill. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care if they have 2 stars next to name. Give me a shooter every year. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not comfortable in relying on player development for that skill. I'd compare shooting with accuracy in a quarterback. It's tough to take an inaccurate college quarterback and turn him into Joe Montana. If I am looking at a QB, the first trait that's essential to me is accuracy. It's generally the trait that excludes some guys from greatness unless they have some overwhelming other attribute, which is rare. Similarly, if a young guy is a bricklayer--clang, clang--it's hard for them to become consistent shooters. Not that it never happens, but it's atypical. There tends to be a variance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to believe that every kid growing up in Indiana and played b-ball in Indiana could automatically shoot...like it was genetic!! Steve Green, Alford, Jay Edwards, Kitchell, Brian Evans, Pat Graham, Mike Woodson...and many others I can't remember. Oh, yeah...some kid named Calbert. 😋 Edited December 16, 2019 by jv1972iu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 My wish list for this class is as follows 1 low post: Furst 1 pg: TBD 1 shooter: Wesley? (if he isn't a shooting threat I'm not sold) TBD 1 wing/stretch 4: Kaufman, Patterson I also wouldn't be surprised if this turned into a 5 man class. If it does I would take a chance on a lower rated player with some upside or talented lower rated kid from Indiana that can shoot it from deep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way they can take a chance on a player or two that don't have to be day 1 impact players.

I think Thomas could be an immediate impact player on the defensive side of the ball. Seems to have the athleticism and instincts for it.

He has shown no jumper and the NBA big man theses days needs to be able to shoot. Plus Trayce is only like 6’9 he’s shorter that most NBA big men so he needs to be able to shoot and he has not proved that yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His potential is what he and others will expect/hope gets him drafted. But have we heard any talk that he's thinking of only staying one year? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard rumors that he isn’t even considering it, but I mean as a young guy when millions of dollars are on the table I have to think he’s a least considering it. Just would bet that he doesn’t actually leave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I think he could leave if he continues to play this well throughout the season....absolutely be hard to pass up. His lifelong dream likely and a chance to set his family for life. Who knows when you might blow out your knee etc. That said I do think he will be here for one more year...but past that...all bets are off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
