    Embrace the new world of college basketball. Here today and gone tomorrow. Adding an improved PG like Little is necessary to improve the team. If not LIttle then at some point they will add someone else. I do think JHS may be a top future PG option and Lander is absolutely in the mix.

    Speaking of Lander, what some are not considering is he plays against X and Rob every day. If he were playing better than them he would be getting their minutes. I still believe he has a high ceiling and IU would be crazy to let him get out of Bloomington. I also think Lander and his family are very smart. They know his biggest hurdle is maturing physically. That doesn't change if he goes to any other Power 5 conference. If he wants to drop down to a mid-major he may get more time now but his biggest issue will be the same.

    I agree with these sentiments. In terms of Lander, I think some/many in the fan-base assumes that he and his family make decisions based solely on his playing time.  I don't think we can jump to that conclusion. Lander seems engaged on the bench and seems to interact with the other players well.  If the goal is to get to the NBA than he should stay at IU. If he has what it takes to develop his game to that level, he will get on the court at IU. He also would have a hard time finding a better staff to help in his growth and development.  Plus, if you play 4-5 years at IU, you will always find a career doing something in the state of Indiana.  I just can't see how staying at IU would ever be a hurdle to getting to the NBA, while leaving I think creates potential hurdles.  Either way, IU needs to build a backcourt, and I hope he is part of that future.
