I don’t know but some comments were around him being a backup to Deron, I feel he will get starter minutes so to speak. The kid has a want to and that alone can get you places. I think his energy and attitude towards the game will help us tremendously! If we add a couple of shot makers with Mr. Brunk,say a freshman and a grad transfer I feel that will put us in a positio to be very competitive. Also I am thinking with no real info the transfers are not done on this Hoosier team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO he will bring more off the stat sheet than on, when it comes to energy, enthusiasm, and leadership, along with being a defensive presence near the bucket. These are things IU has needed for awhile. Fans normally overstate stats so it's hard for me to envision. With De'Ron and Trace around, if he did 9 and 5, that would be pretty good. But again, I don't think the real value is measurable by statistics. When he was coming out of high school, I pretty strongly lamented here that we didn't get him then.

bstall76 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Could he have a Max Bielfieldt type impact, Max put up 8.2 and 4.5 and was 6th man of the year on a B1G championship team, doubt it. I think if he and Davis can put up 12 and 7 combined we will be in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about as hardcore as it gets with the stats but I'm also aware at just how valuable players can be without being a statistic beast. I'm reminded of Odle and Moye to name two. I think this guy is a great fit in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to want leave any doubt that he made the right choice. IMO, sitting the bench next year for extended minutes "ain't gonna happen!"
