BobSaccamanno Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Normally, players know who can play. If Trayce wants him, that’s probably a good sign. I suppose you might be biased as a friend, but a good player doesn’t want scrubs around him. TJD vouching for him is a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a good look at TJD too... He looked good. Nice court vision, found open players, nice shot from the line and 3, good drive, good hustle. I would be fine having him suit up in the candy stripes.

And I agree, no need to throw a lot on him. I think the question mark would be whether he is quick enough to play D. Hulls, Zeisloft and Roth weren’t great defenders, but we could have sure used them this year. Always spots for shooters, even as situational players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw he was rated on 247 and Max B was the 321st rated player in his class. We dont won a BTT without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are a 3 point shooter that cant/doesnt play much defense, and the shooting goes awry, good bye floortime. No idea if this kid is or not. If he is, bring him on.

Ib4IU Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 When I saw his response my first reaction was that he was being sarcastic. Like oh I’ve heard about how great the fan base is at IU and how much I’ll enjoy it there and then he sees someone say that and probably takes one tweet out of the 100s if not 1000s I saw of fans excited for him to visit and paints IU fans in a bad light without taking into consideration it wasn’t an IU fan. Definitely think he thought the tweet was from an IU fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndySportsPartizan Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 What is Jalen's weakness(es)? We keep taking about his strengths (shooting, size), but there has to be a reason he is rated so low with such few big time offers right? Found the following tidbits below when trying to find his 2017 AAU stats. Easy to talk yourself into liking the kid. --- Windham led Ben Davis High School to the Indiana State Championship last year while averaging 14 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists as a junior, shooting 46 percent from beyond the arc and 86 percent from the free throw line. His head coach Don Carlisle played for Hunter while he was the head coach at IUPUI. As a sophomore, Windham led all scorers with 15 points in the 2016-17 Indiana 4A State title game. As a member of the AAU Indy Heat 17U EYBL, he shot 46 percent from 3-point range and averaged 9.0 points per game. He is currently ranked No. 12 all around for the class of 2019 in Indiana and has been named to the Indiana Class of 2019 SuperTeam. http://www.georgiastatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=12700&ATCLID=211780970 ---- Found a prepstarballs.com article from 2017 that had him listed as 9th best in the state - and it had Armaan Franklin, Brandon Newman listed behind him.... --- Windham’s range? When he has it going, he is known to stretch it out to well beyond the 3-point line. There may not be another player in the state who can heat up like Windham. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/03/15/all-marion-county-basketball-snub-fuels-ben-davis-guard-jalen-windham/3173486002/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirdgenhoosier Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 One of my concerns is his high school three point shooting. I’m pretty sure I saw somewhere that he only shot 36% from behind the arc this year. His AAU stats that were just posted tell me something else. For a team that lacks shooters, 36% doesn’t get me very excited. Over 40% sure does though. And I do love the free throw shooting. I wonder why the difference in the three point shooting? 46-36 is a big difference, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it possible to rank someone as 149 vs. 150 vs. 300? Not enough time to see them all yourself and rank them. Also, not really fair to rank them without seeing them enough to compare them to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
