IU Scott Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Maybe Hailiburton should be the MVP because without him we have lost 4 in a row and tonight is down 17-1 early at OKC. Without Haliburton this year 1-5 With Haliburton 22-17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Haliburton this year 1-5 With Haliburton 22-17 He is a stud for sure. Him and Mathurin are core building blocks. I think we are just that all star wing away from having a great nucleus. Would love to luck into one in this draft. We definitely won that trade…Sabonis is a great player but dang it is hard to build a team around a PF. A willing passing point guard that can shoot…yes please. Edited January 19, 2023 by dgambill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue with Luka is I feel like people just stand around watching him do it all. They definitely need another guy that can go get his own shot and maybe create so he doesn’t wear out….but surround him with shooters and you are looking pretty good.

Love to get the kid from Alabama but can't think of his name. He will probably be a top 5 pick but we need a 6'9 wing who can shoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely could use another legit piece. Luka is basically surrounded by 3rd (at best) and 4th options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost think they need to go the Sixers/AI route where you just surround him with scrappy defenders that didn't need the ball but can hit open shots (Eric Snow, Aaron McKie, Tyrone Hill, etc.), then you hope a similar profile All-Star becomes available to put you over the top (Mutombo). I know Luka averages a lot of assists, but he's so ball dominant that I can't see another legit star scorer being happy alongside him. Guys like Marcus Smart, Draymond, etc., etc, would be great around him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jordan Clarkson type I guess. Probably right he will never play off the ball much but would be nice to see him come down and step off the ball every once in awhile and see someone else generate some offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, pretty sick of Dillon Brooks and Ja Morant's Dad. Brooks is a nice player, but the way he runs his mouth you'd think he was a multi-time All-Star. Ja's Dad is constantly jumping in front of the camera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no clue who Ja’s dad is lol…seen him on tv a couple times during the postseason….I don’t have much faith in any of these athletes in throwing a punch….seen too many NFL and NBA fights to know not many belong in a fight or ring.

One of my buddies went to the Pacers-Grizzlies game in Indy last weekend and met his dad and got pictures with the family. He said he was a pretty cool dude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a nickel for every time I've wished that... I wished it in real time. I'm guessing they were concerned about his injury, but a lot of IU fans I was around at the time felt the same way...his upside potential was much greater than TJ Leaf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
