13th&Jackson Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 1 hour ago, go_iu_bb said: I've seen quite a few articles about how much of a steal TJD was during the draft. The Warriors seem high on him as does the area media. Some think he's a better selection short term than their 1st round pick and at least one thinks he'll be better both short and long term. That was a really good landing spot for him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierFan997 Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) So do we have a feel for starting line-up? my guess is: X/Galloway/Mgbako/Reneau/Ware Cupps/Gunn/Banks/Walker/Sparks the main group off the bench. Main concern is outside of Sparks, that’s a lot of unproven guys off the bench, could see one of Reneau and Ware coming off the bench to get more spacing in the starting line-up.

Walker is pretty much a proven commodity, but you're right that beyond the starters you named (which I agree with) the backcourt needs to earn their spurs... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd remind him that Smith was 3-19 from the floor against IU last year, and that was without our best on the ball defender ("Binky" ) on the floor...

But then again, there are other ways to "step up" for your team. I don't think you could ask for a better teammate than Anthony. For his sake, I hope he does a grad transfer to a school where he gets lots of playing time. He still has his Covid year left after this one.

I don't think he'll transfer because he's already working as a real estate agent around Bloomington. I think he'll concentrate on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even though he's at the end of the bench currently, his NIL money is probably greater than his real estate commish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 I've said this before, but having Anthony Leal in a 4th guard spot is far from the worst situation in the world... Knows his role Not gonna make mistakes Knows the offense and defense to a fault Great teammate... Even with his perceived "end of the bench" status, I still hear a lot of the younger guys mention him when asked about leadership on the team... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Haslametrics for those of you that like that kind of thing ( @IU Scott? ) Has IU at #44 nationally, and 9th in the Big 10... Click on the Indiana link to see a full pre-season evaluation of our team...Has us as "First Out" for the tournament... I honestly think that is the absolute floor for this team. I understand we have a lot of new pieces, but we also have a boatload of talent, not to mention depth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, probably the worst case scenario, with our ceiling being somewhere in the top 3 in the B10.

The thing is nobody knows, even Coach says he doesn’t know what the offense is going to look like until he gets to see them in practice. To me this team is going to be almost unrecognizable compared to the last couple years! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
