KoB2011 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Just a huge get. I really hope we get two years of Malik and KEW; could be the most special front court we've had since Zeller and Watford. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwtaylor1055 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Some thoughts for Ware: 1.) If Woodson can turn him into a sure fire lottery pick(think he was projected late lottery/late first round pick), that's two years in a row Iu would be sending a lottery player. Young guys that want to get to the NBA, will definitely be taking notice and wanting to come to IU. 2.) Ware may not be as polished with the ball around the rim or bringing the ball up the court as TJD was, however, he's a few inches taller and can step out and shoot the long ball. An option that CMW did not have with TJD last year(not speaking down on TJD because he was never asked to do this) 3.) If we are lucky to get two years of both Ware and Malik together, I will be shocked. I think Ware is one and done but I think Malik will be back for a third year. 4.) Curious at how much NIL money the kid got. I know we have a lot to spend/offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will get Kel'el for 2 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's a lottery pick next year Woodson and staff will have done an insanely good job and we will probably have a GREAT year. Hope so, but I still think we get 2 years.

HoosierDom Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 If you haven't seen the video already, google his game highlights vs MSU and vs UConn. Those videos show every shot he took, every rebound, block and turnover. He certainly has some things to work on, but man, the good parts are highly impressive. I'd say more impressive than the pure highlight video I saw before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over and over, writers saying he can shoot the three. Almost every article says so. Why? He's a 27% 3-point shooter. Justin Smith and Race Thompson were 26%. People cringed when they shot threes. Illinois was last in the BigTen at 30% 3-point shooting. Ware's 27% was below the worst team's average. I hope he has a great Indiana career. Maybe he will improve. But until he does, he's exactly the guy other teams want to shoot from three. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are talking about a 7' center who CAN shoot the three at a decently where you cant sag off too much. I dont think they are calling him a shooter that hits it at a high clip. He only shot 55 threes last year. if he makes 2 more threes. he would be 31%. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise could be a liability issue. I'm sure the former school wouldn't want to be on the hook for treating an injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Good article on Kel'el and his potential... Rated the 2nd best 5 in the portal... I honestly think he's the key to a big season for IU... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
