Indykev Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Ok , I see this in the other thread but I think this needs its own thread. Everyone is guessing he is just getting info.....What if he isn't and goes GL or Over seas? The dude is the most unhappy kid i've seen at IU in a long time.

5fouls Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 A mistake on his part if he would be willing to buy in next season. he could have a huge year. If he's not willing to go all-in with what Archie wants, probably the right move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Well, let the speculation begin. Didn't the entire uk team a few years ago declare? Really it's a bit of a joke. Everyone that can should declare. Pretty sure a Michigan State ball boy declared a few years back. Speculative, is he about to graduate? Go pro anyway possible. A lot of ways to play ball for money out there these days. He did come into school under the Tom Crean graduate in 3 train of thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdhoosier Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 We need to remember that just because he wants to test the waters doesn’t mean he’s going to leave. Maybe this is a good thing - have another person (other than this coaching staff) tell him that he needs to slow down and improve his decision making.

Hoosierhoopster Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 At this stage I’d think he’s testing the waters, as he should. He knows he’s not getting drafted now, and this is the chance at both exposure and direct feedback from the teams / staffs. That could help him in several ways, and could help the team.

FW_Hoosier Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 His dad gave an interview, said they realize he’s not going to get drafted this year and he just wants to go through the process. Also said that one of Devonte’s main goals is to help IU get back to the tournament next year, so they’re saying the right things at least.

He could talk to me and save himself a lot of time. lol. Or maybe listen to the coaching staff he plays for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officer Obie Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Juwan declared a year ago. I did too. Neither of us got drafted. I'm looking forward to Devonte as a senior at IU. We'll need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even make it to halftime in my first game when I pulled a hammy. I immediately retired. Still waiting on that back pay from the concession workers union.

Seems to me fans are always unhappy with him. Even when he plays well, people still attack him. I think he got way better the last month of the season. He was the least passive and most aggressive player on both ends. I understand his passing drives people crazy, but when he started reigning that in, he was very affective. His injury and suspension really hurt this year's team. If he truly is some sort of locker room cancer, I don't think he'd still be on the team. Through all this negativity and rumor mongering, he's still a Hoosier, so I am pulling for the guy. And who gives a s*** if these guys get evaluated by NBA scouts and coaches? Don't you want them to get better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I don't know what the process is or if there could be a better process but I think it is silly these guys have to declare just to gather information from NBA people. Is this an NBA thing or an NCAA thing? I understand for those who get camp invites but Devonte is probably not getting invited to any NBA camps. Do these players still show up for camps to gather information in interviews or is there another avenue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play well and did for a short stretch at the end of the season - but he's shown flashes of it in the past. Archie said prior to the season that DG had learned and understood he had to play under control, but was erratic in that regard for much of the season. I know there are some that just don't believe in him or that he will ever eliminate the "bad" play, but some of us are just wondering if/when this transformation will occur. At this point, his consistent play is crucial to our success next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, his consistent play is crucial to our success next season. The silver lining is that he finished up this past season strong. His college career really reminds me of Verdell Jones; frustrating and inconsistent but he did ultimately turn the corner. However, that didn't happen unitl VJIII's senior year. Yes, VJ's role diminished that year with the emergence of Hulls, VO and CWat, but he was effective and dependable. I think the key for Devonte is settling into a role where he feels like he can play more instinctively vs. methodically - let RP run the offense and make a majority of the decisions so Devonte can do what he does best. This, IMHO, will be the main challenge for both him and Archie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars is the God of war. Work a crossword puzzle. It won't kill you. 😀 * Edit - Ares is the correct name for the Greek God of war. Thanks Zlinedavid. I was thinking Roman.
