IU Scott Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 1 hour ago, DWB said: I still think we need to find a true point guard. Rice may be an OK part time at the 1, Cupps isn't even close to being a true PG (yet), and I'd rather have Gallo @ 2-3. We've got the opening, just need to fill it. Seems like most of the attention in the portal is 2-5 positions. (we needed those as well, but I'd like a knock down shooter point guard) Rice is a true point guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're prone to a bad TO or two but are a lights out shooter, you'll see the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaHoosierFan Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 We are going to need to shoot in the mid 30s as a team from 3. And it would be nice to have 2 players closers to 40% on mid to higher volume. Is is absolutely required, no, but it has been a glaring hole for IU for quite some time. I know people don't think its that important, but to me its the biggest missing piece we have had for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people don't think its that important, but to me its the biggest missing piece we have had for years. I see where people saying guys like Rice or Carlyle are had shooters. I don't totally agree with that because there is more to shooting than just shooting 3's. I just look at Carlyle who went 32/100 from 3 which makes him a bad shooter. If he would have just hit 5 more to go 37/100 that would have made him an above average shooter. So hitting 5 more shots over a 31 game schedule is the difference from a great shooter to a bad shooter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'd say everyone this offseason thought that shooters would ward off the impending apocalypse. I would rather have 4 guys on the roster that were low-mid 30s on volume than 2 guys close to 40. Purdue's outside game was based around having 3-4 other guys on the floor that were a reliable threat to hit a 3. Their highest volume shooter was Jones, and he shot 35%, not 40. We had MM. Now, Carlyle fits the same mold (32% on decent volume), Rice shot pretty well until he hit the wall, Goode should be an ideal fit. That moves us from one to three, plus a pretty sure. Cupps and Reneau both shot at a decent percentage on limited volume, so those are a few wild cards. Oh, and although Galloway isn't the best 3 point shooter....he's not afraid to throw them up there. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officer Obie Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 If we don't go undefeated I'm out. 😠 But seriously, I really like the pieces that have been assembled and hope for a BIG title. We will be as good as anybody in conference. We will have a deep bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
