Purpose16 Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 He needs to stay. He is much better than a late second round pick ...which is where draft boards have him.
Feathery Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 I think he should return but others have stated he is gone no matter what for the pros. He doesn’t care where he is drafted.
Rev_AK Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 Not ready. Don’t mean he won’t try to go, but he’s not ready

Brass Cannon Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 Why would he stay. The thing he needs to learn. Shooting we clearly don’t know how to teach. He should probably transfer not go pro

His potential is clear and might be enough. Would love to see him stay though.
Hippopotamo Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 We as IU fans want him to stay. But he needs to go even if there’s no chance he gets drafted. Players get better in the G league or overseas quicker than by staying in college. He can learn to develop a consistent shot while working at it as his job.
5fouls Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 It's not just his shot that needs development. He also needs to work on: Ball handling His right hand Strength Consistent motor

Hoosierdave Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 He should stay another year. He’s a good player but he’s a super late second round player/not even a second rounder because he hasn’t diversified his game. Hes maybe a power forward but likely a small forward in the NBA. Idk how any of his skills translate to that position rn and warrant him entering the draft.

But if he goes pro he can at least learn and get better full time instead of limited practice hours and class obligations. If he’s set on going pro, might as well go.

I think the kids got game and is currently hindered from a higher level of development.

He’s going to be playing against higher level players on a regular basis in the G, and he’s not going to have to worry about going to class or whatever - 24/7 focus on getting better at the game. Really would like to see what this team would be like if he returned, though.

So if he doesn't improve his offensive moves he won't be able to compete at the g league level

They all look like they are scared to shoot the ball. Something has to explain this horrendous team shooting.

Hoosierdave Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 Unless this info is wrong but average G-league player makes 35k a season and minimum salary for a rookie nba player is almost 900k so it would actually benefit him to stay a year and guarantee himself at the very least a second round pick in the draft, although I think he’d end up in the top 30.

I agree with your point re clear potential....my point is that I think he's really undervalued as a late second and could move up by staying another year. 56 minutes ago, Inequality said: Welcome to the board!

We need fresh faces, thoughts and ideas around here always! I think a year makes a huge difference in just about anything related to progression. My concern is along the lines of, is TJD currently in a situation to get the most out of the extra year or would he be better of in another in which he could get get max gains.
