IUFLA Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 53 minutes ago, Drroogh said: Whoever the Moore writer is, clearly doesn’t know Indiana.? Twice he mentions Malik at the 5?? And this quote “Two years of Woodson has proven he prefers scoring on the interior” ??? Wow! Maybe I'm wrong, but I kinda see Reneau and Ware as interchangeable between the 4 and 5... Both can play in the post and score... On a short sample size, both can shoot the midrange jumper better than Trayce and at least equal (if not better) than Race... Both can hit the 3 pointers (again on a very short sample size, particularly Malik) at or near Race's numbers (Ware was at 28%, Malik 25%, and Race at 28%)... Unless Mgbako is better from 3 than his high school numbers suggest, I DO think we'll look to score inside a lot... But I think it'll also be more of a balance than it has been in the past 2 years... Unless we have a couple of kids emerge, I don't think Woody is inclined to make us into the 2022-13 Knicks just yet... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Moore made it sound like the team is being built around Malik as the 5. Aslo there is no way Coach prefers, scoring in the paint.

Oh, I know he doesn't prefer it, but just like he did in his 2 years with Trayce, he's gonna go with what he sees as the team's strength...but as I said, I do think it'll be more balanced with and outside and dribble-drive attack... I keep thinking of XJ's thundering jam at Maryland 2 years ago, and Trey almost putting Edey on a poster last year... Get those bigs to respect our bigs mid-range/outside game, and that'll happen more... A couple of other things... Trayce, Race, and Kopp averaged 19 boards a game cumulatively last year, with, of course, Trayce accounting for over half that total... But does anyone besides me see a better rebounding frontcourt with Ware, Reneau, and Mgbako? Last thing (I promise 🙂) don't discount Reneau's passing ability, both on the interior and on the break... The kid has an innate sense about making good basketball plays (except maybe when guarding 1 on 1 🙂)...

02Hoosier Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Malik will be a stud for us this year whether he plays at the 4 or the 5. It appears he’ll mostly be playing as a 4 this year due to the makeup of the roster though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it was more about laughing at the dumb KU Twitter fans and the dumber $70/month KU discord fans who pay for terrible information. They were sooooo smug and arrogant about Mgbako based on their terrible "intelligence" and then tried to paper over it by saying that Cuban bought the commit at the last minute (wrong on multiple levels). It's pretty obvious in hindsight that Kansas absolutely did not lead after (and more likely during) the IU visit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Just as important as TJD development, just as important as JHS and likely lottery pick this year...if MM can come in and perform at the levels we think he can....these 3 guys will have setup IU/Woodson recruiting for the very least 24 and 25 classes and beyond. We will have each position on the court (guard/wing/big) covered...but getting national guys like JHS....and now add Ware/MM? In one month we've upped our national trajectory as much as we have since Crean was here with Vonleh, Bryant,etc... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
