Purdue7 Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Nobody you bring in thinks they can’t beat out Malik…nothing against him but these guys have started since they were 5…confidence won’t be a problem Doubt CMW points to backup minutes instead of replace TJD. You guys have the 2 things: minutes & money hopefully IU tradition & education mean something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Sparks is a good player so I don’t blame the staff for going for him. He gives you a Zach Randolph feel. I think he’s too good to say he doesn’t fit. Get really good players first and foremost. We can make it work. I’d still like to get more mobile and athletic at the 2-4 positions even with Sparks. Every good team has that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderMonkey Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 He looks like a good solid body with decent footwork and handles in the paint. Would definitely be nice to have somone other than just MR who can score inside. I haven't read much about his defense though, any insight on how he is on the defensive side of the ball?

btownqb Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Kadin Shedrick is a name that is being floated as someone we'd like if he got into the portal. He'd fit the backup 5 role with defending the rim capabilities and can run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree. Until the B1G stops allowing rugby style basketball, and decides it wants success in recruting and the NCAA tournament, we have to prepare for battle in the post. Hopefully CMW can straddle the line the way Izzo has to be successful at both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegrassIU Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 3 hours ago, IUCrazy2 said: This is a very serviceable player. Plays through contact, good on the boards, had a nice interior game. We definitely want to get athletes and shooters on our team but I like having some guys like this that can get in there and mix it up too. No small thing, he looks comfortable going over both shoulders and using either hand. Sadly, that's not always common with bigs. Add to it that he is clearly very big and strong and he definitely brings value. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a 40% 3 point shooter too.....now he only took 5 and hit 2 but ya gotta start somewhere. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'd have to imagine Malik, Sparks, and Kadin wouldn't play much together, leading one of them to be stuck on the bench. Definitely like Kadin though since he brings a different skillset.
