Looks to me like Smeathers could use a little training himself. Body development in the least. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have anything but Watford has me extremely intrigued. I would think unless Archie is isn’t extremely confident in landing him we’d be taking the other Indy kid.

FKIM01 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I see this as a situation similar to when Beilien mishandled Beilfeldt. I didn't understand why Brunk got no more minutes than he did as he seemed like a high energy guy who could rebound and score when he played. I was less impressed with the other center (name escapes me) who seemed to get more minutes. Here's hoping Lavall Jordan thinks "damn...I should have played Brunk more" when he see's Joey giving IU significant productive minutes next season.

IMO, this is a big time, Get! I wish I could say. I honestly set the bar pretty low for Brunk (on purpose) and kind of had him platooning with DD as a safety net for Trayce. The one position I can't figure out is the 4....I was stuck on that one trying to think through some depth charts....my needle is definitely moving for Watford regardless of Bunk. There's an open fit and I don't think he would visit unless he was strongly considering coming here. That's a hell of a potential unexpected boost in the making. I can goof around with the data and make reasonable expectations but right now I don't know enough about Trayce or Brunk to know if they can both play at the same time. I also have no idea how the rotations play out for the '4'. Can only 1 of DD / Trayce / Brunk play at a time? Can Hunter spot in at the 4? I suppose Race is an option but I'm not expecting much there. Looks like a prime fit for Trendon to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeRon better look out and start working his butt off again, if he wants it. The great thing is, Davis and Brunk will be squaring off in practice everyday. Good for both.

IUwins0708 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 With Brunk now there is absolutely zero chance of playing Watford at the 4 which he didn’t want to do. Not sure it helps a ton but it helps. I suspect in the next couple days TW rumors will start to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWoolsey Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 If Watford is gonna play the three then he's gonna need to fix his shot behind the arc because the numbers are bad and it's with a solid sample. 35% in HS his JR season and 21% on the AAU circuit. 41/138 = 29% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely won't have to play at the 4 exclusively. But he does have a better post game than Christian. He's a perfect player to create matchup nightmares with. Make bigger 4s chase him around the perimeter, and let him post up smaller defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
