Perhaps Hoosier Faitfhful will be able to get in touch with our provider, to try to rectify this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go_iu_bb Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I didn't have high expectations for Hunter entering last season due to his injury and the time it took for him to recover. The same can't be said for next season. Articles like this make those expectations for next year look justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I shared it before but going into their freshman season at a workout I had a guy ask me which player was Romeo because he was not sure but 2 players on the floor were head and shoulders better than everyone else. That other player was Hunter. If we get that Hunter back the sky is limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His confidence and health, combined with his new role, with the departures -- Smith in particular -- should let us see the real, healthy and ready Hunter.

I love his ability to stretch the floor and shoot 3s but I don’t want him to fall in love with it. He has one of the best quick flick release floaters I’ve seen in and around the basket. That curl and quick flick 10 footer...so tough to defend and can help him get to the foul line too. He is very talented offensively. Looking forward to him and Armaans second season jump!

I watched some highlights of the game last year at Nebraska and liked one thing about what I saw. When we were down early by 9 the lineup that brought us back will all return this year. It was TJD, Brunk, Hunter, RP and Franklin. Hunter got 8 points in a 5 minute stretch with two 3's that got us the lead back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Really like hearing these reports from Jerome. He like Race and to a certain extent Rob P have had their early development stunted by injuries. Hopefully all 3 can remain healthy moving forward. If that happens I like our chances this winter as much as anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of times he would have a tremendous first 6 or 7 mins and then do nothing offensively the rest of the game. He's a guy that should be able to easily play 34-36 mins. I think RP has a big year 10p 4a 4r 38% from 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJD went for 13.5 per last year...like to see that tick up to 16-17 and I think that's attainable... Just wondering where anyone else thinks the 26 or so PPG that Justin, Devonte, De'Ron, and Damezi accounted for last year will come from...

Just wondering where anyone else thinks the 26 or so PPG that Justin, Devonte, De'Ron, and Damezi accounted for last year will come from... I think TJD will be in that 15-17 ppg range, Cody-esque. Damezi averaged 2.8 in 18 games. Davis 2.7 in 31. Not really a factor here. Justin (10.4) and Green (10.8) though will have to be replaced in minutes and scoring. And aside from scoring Davis's ability to come in and influence a game in the front court, as well. I think we'll see a significant growth in minutes, points, boards etc. from Hunter, Frankin and Race. Franklin continues to be undervalued/under-recognized imo. Race and Hunter obviously were growing their games significantly by season's end and are primed for more minutes and production. That's before we get to Lander, who almost certainly will factor in well at some point in the season if not immediately (young but uber talent). So I see Green's and Smith's lost production coming from a mix, primarily, of those 4, Hunter, Franklin, Race and Lander, along with growth from TJD. Don't know how the loss of Smith in particular will play out, he's a real loss, but see the chance for improvement in spacing and scoring with Hunter and Race, and improved spacing and ball movement with Lander and Franklin.

We didn't have anyone but one player avg that. I think TJD 15-16. RP, AD, JH, and KL all avg 8p-11p. Balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 If Jerome takes that next step, it will be a win-win with Justin gone too. Based on a variety of factors, that could be a nice upgrade for what we need done on the court. The loss of Justin would only matter if the loss of depth becomes critical. In ‘20 as a team, IU stepped forward and was a tourney team. You’ve got to start somewhere. This ‘21 team has a nice chance to take a big jump when you look at the upperclassmen, an experienced stud in TJD and on and on. We may be underestimated. This is a nice chance for Archie to get some big wins and get the momentum feeling like a snowball running down the hill. Tough kids, good experience, better fits for what we need done, more electric athleticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 If everything came together F Hunter F Thompson C TJD G Phinisee G Lander That starting five has the components for success. The rotation has nice pieces off the bench when you look at Brunk, Durham and Franklin. Then you’ve got the three remaining freshmen to sprinkle in: Geronimo Galloway Leal Unlike the past several years, you have a roster that makes sense and where the pieces fit together.

Hoosierhoopster Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 13 hours ago, IU Scott said: I don't see anyway that a senior Durham not starting Yes agree, but we should now have different "looks" now in lineups, regardless who starts, as the lineups develop over the season. Rob / Lander / Al / Hunter / TJD, or Rob / Al / Hunter / Race / TJD, or Rob / Lander / Al / Race / TJD, etc. I see Rob and TJD being "locks" but Rob's starting/significant minutes is all about his health, we know he didn't start for much of last season because of his health. We clearly play better when he's healthy and playing significant minutes, here's to hoping. But it could also be Lander / Al / Hunter / Race / TJD (which is actually a nice looking lineup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 So many really good lineup combinations here. I'm pulling for Hunter as hard as I've pulled for any player in awhile. I keep flashing back to what might have been with Maurice Creek had it not been for all the injuries. I really hope Hunter has a healthy breakout season. Phinisee too. I want to see Rob making Toiletmaker nation miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 15 hours ago, IU Scott said: I don't see anyway that a senior Durham not starting I do. His defense last year was marginal at best. I saw him get beat time after time, not knowing where screens were coming from, and plain, out of position on many occasions. I think his offense kept him in the game more often than not. This year, (hopefully) we have several scorers...like 5-6 as alluded to early with "balance". If Archie can get us running instead of walking up the court, Al could give Rob, or Lander, or, or, or, a blow. If Al improves his defense consistently, then yeah, he probably starts.
