Movement, spacing, multiple threats from deep, effective ball screens? You want two players that can't shoot outside of 5ft on the floor together and that's a recipe to win? What successful team rolls like that right? No. I said you need 3 really good guards. See Baylor. As good as their bigs were, they were just good role players.

You keep Franklin, get the Johnson kid.. plus Lander. Heckuva a start. I'm confused exactly what you're arguing in reference to what I said earlier? Edit: are you agreeing with me? lol sorry I'm confused. Edited April 6, 2021 by btownqb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 The level of optimism for next year is still an open question because we don’t know what our roster looks like. If Franklin leaves, we will need another guy at that spot. The kid from Florida can shoot. At point guard, we seem to be recruiting another guy. Personally, I am very high on Lander. But he has a long way to go in terms of upper body strength, shooting, calming down, etc. I don’t think he was put in positions to succeed last year, and this year I think you will see him take a big step forward in terms of getting the ball and just going. I believe he will thrive in that role. I don’t think we will see him with the ball up top in a turtle paced offense launching 24 foot set shots like it is 1952 anymore. Having said all that, he’s a young player and I’m not sure we can just hand him point guard yet. On defense, he lacks strength and needs to learn sound positioning and his assignments. But he’s got the foot speed and decent length to be good at both ends. Meanwhile, everyone knows our starting point guard really struggled. To his credit, he hasn’t transferred to Bellarmine or someplace like that where he could calm down and be featured. But I don’t think you’re comfortable with a starting player who shot 25% from three, dribbled the air out of the ball aimlessly, and would slow the ball up the court even if we were down ten and running out of time. He can, however, give us depth, and a guy who can come in and defend if somebody on the other team is hurting us. That’s a long way of saying that if we don’t land a veteran point guard, that will be a big risk. It might work, but after what we saw last year, I don’t think we are in a position to close our eyes and hope it works out. Matta and Woody know all this and hopefully we get another point guard in here. At the end of the day, I want to see the final roster before I can judge my optimism level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrical engineering and playing major college ball. Very impressive. I’m in a related field and all I can say is he will be in high demand by employers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bluegrassIU Posted April 6, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 1 hour ago, The Daily Hoosier said: It has become a recurring theme since he was announced as head coach just over a week ago. “Coach Woodson just seemed to answer all the questions correctly" https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/khristian-lander-sees-obvious-fit-in-mike-woodsons-offense/ Wow, this is continuously mentioned by players/parents. As fans, our eyes were not deceiving us. The players were more frustrated than we were.... (Lander's dad speaking on Woody/Kristian) “He doesn’t want somebody bouncing the ball 10 times at the top of the key calling sets,” Keith said of Woodson. “We were watching the video saying, ‘That’s what we think it should look like.’ We didn’t have that this year for whatever reason. He wants his guards to be more in attack mode. Making plays, dropping it down to the bigs when the defense collapses. He wants his point guards to initiate things and not be in sets all the time.” @The Daily Hoosier As always, thanks for being part of HSN. Good stuff, as usual. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good role playing bigs that have some offensive ability or are incredible defenders/rebounders. I struggle seeing a team compete for championships in this day and age with the bigs being the most important part of the offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he is on our side. Class act, great recruiter, good experienced coach. He just adds a sense of stability in all the moving parts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
