IUCrazy2 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Not sure about the level of competition, but Jerome is looking more fluid to me. https://mobile.twitter.com/ZachFleer270/status/1269782621971759104?fbclid=IwAR3UPWIzuWhvENezGEZyoXYuPAIwWnTkJfCeseW_cjtvpNq3uKT6mM34gG0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Nice. Like the work from the right wing, step back 3 looked good. Looking forward to seeing him have a real soph jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just from the cheap seats. But, TJD shot 68.5% and Jerome shot 75% from the charity stripe last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how often TJD gets to the line it would be nice if he brought that percentages up to around 73 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked to see he was comfortable being aggressive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 68.5% for a freshmen big that made maybe 1 shot outside the paint all season is actually pretty remarkable IMO. Going forward, I'd take TJD making anywhere in the low 70's as a free throw percentage and be super happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been a big proponent of hitting free throws. No reason at all in my opinion why they can't. Can practice those at any time without wearing yourself out.

I know we had this discussion last week about you thinking we should shoot 75 percent ad a team. I looked back as A team IU had only done that 6 times since 1975.

milehiiu Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Whenever the topic comes around to free throw shooting. Many times I bring up the name. Virgil Sweet. Head coach at Valparaiso high school for 20 years. Who's TEAMS, not individuals consistently shot 70% or better from the free throw line. Coach Sweet's 1963-1964 TEAM shot 79.2 % of their free throws during the entire season.... setting a national record. Coach Sweet had a 20 point system on how to properly shoot a free throw. And even wrote a book on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's a true 5. With our overall talent coming in, and returning guys getting better (Like Hunter, and Franklin) we don't need Trayce jacking them up from downtown.

I hear you...I'm not in love with it either, but it's today's game... I saw how much more dangerous it made Garza even at 36% (he was 29% as a sophomore)...I already thought he was a good player, but that made him really hard to guard...and he's not nearly the athlete TJD is...

Plus, if TJD wants to up his draft stock he’s going to need to improve that shot. I don’t see CAM denying him that opportunity to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
