Euroclydon Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Clearly guards are the focus but they better add some legit size or it's going to be small ball next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Ben Humrichous-- sat out 7 or so games mid season (I think a foot injury).. Evansvilles record with him was solid Before injury he avged 16ppg 6r 2a 1.5b 48% 3 He also takes and makes tough 3s. Check the link. I think he's someone we should want. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Thornton becomes available, by all means for the one... The Mack kid was pretty impressive against us...Sure, give him a look... And I'm just gonna throw this name out there...Kanye Clary...The kid can play...I think there was some really hard feelings over Clary staying when Rhoades came on, then Rhoades switching to Ace Baldwin and staying with him when Clary got injured...Here's a comparison between Clary, Baldwin, and Mack... Just something to consider...I don't think his dismissal from the team indicates that he's a bad apple...He just thought he got screwed coming off the injury...Stuff happens...But he's an immensely talented kid... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Perkins is playing off ball like some have mentioned, then 3 shooting is not going to be improved whatsoever based on Perkins history. Not to beat a dead horse but IU needs shooting!! I am fine with bringing in tough nosed, not turnover prone PGs, but then we've got to 100% bring in some cold stone killer shooters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he comes I hope he helps our team but this move doesn’t truly help our team at all and feel like we will be in same boat as last year. Especially since tuckers strength is mid range. Teams can just pack the lane again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only thing is T Perk is a couple ticks below behind the arc where I would want as my off ball 2. I had a couple other names like Clary, but it didnt feel right having T Perk down at 7 so i am going to tiers. 1) Malik Mack 2) Thornton, Dug McDaniel (hoping his issues with Michigan don't carry) type of player. Younger, good, quick, shot creator, distributor, 33%+ 3pt 3) Clary, Pegues type of player. high volume scorer shoots 36-38% 3pt 4) T Perk. I still don't feel right about this, but this is the best 4th option I can think of ever (unless @Zlinedavid 4th option was the Purdue cheerleader). I would still take him now if he wanted. I would play him at the 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you stagger in 3 point shooters so teams don’t pack the lane? What players would you get to back up our starters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
