Potential starting 5 for next year, does Juwan GoPro?

[tortex28 379]

Potential for next year, I have to go with Robert Phinisee McRoberts, Smith, Morgan, Davis.

If Morgan keeps up his play do you think he sticks around for a senior year? Going to have like seven or eight forwards next year. A lot of guys that are like 6 6' to 6 8'playing the same position.

Seeing how a lot of early exits are built on “potential upside”, I think we are seeing JuMos peak. He’s not going to suddenly evolve faster feet and a better 3pt shot. 

[Josh 12,363]

I think he'll put his name in the draft prep because it's the smart thing to do. Much like we had 4 players do last year. Whether or not he stays will be determined by the feedback he gets

I feel like we need another guard for next year and I have my doubts about Langford coming to IU. I would guess he's probably Vandy bound maybe Kansas. That leaves us with Phinisee and Green. McRoberts is listed as a guard but I think of him as more like a small forward. Our guard play is already an issue this year and we have four scholarship guards 5 if you if you count McRoberts. I see Langford going somewhere where he can be a star for a year then going to the NBA. I don't think he would want to come to IU to try to fit into a system where he couldn't play streetball.

Anderson and Hunter are likely to play as wings under Archie. So he’s said.

For me.. I'd like to see.

Phinisee
Langford
Smith
Morgan
Davis if healthy ( otherwise hopefully we can find a grad transfer center)

Others I'd like to see get minutes
McBob
Hunter
Anderson
Moore/Forrester (whoever is better)

Durham is a fallback guy to me if the others don't outperform him.

Even if that comes to fruition, I still see us being only marginally better than this year. I'm not sold on Davis yet. We need a legitimate big that plays like it,maybe in the 2019or 2020 class. I think it will take him a while to really fill out the roster, maybe 2 or 3 years. The thing is with Archie, I believe, is finding guys that fit the system. I think after two or three recruiting classes we will really start to see it takes shape.

I don't disagree. I forgot to mention Race will get minutes too. I wish I liked Durham better and I've completely soured on Devonte. I don't like our guards or our 5 spot. IF we can get Romeo I can play with the roster in my mind and give us a chance. Still have chance to improve roster through attrition and transfers.

Does Romeo play streetball now? Also I highly doubt that Archie wouldn't adjust his system to get the most out of a player of Romeo's caliber. 

[tortex28 379]

I'm sure it would work out fine but I just don't know that IU is what Romeo is looking for but I guess we'll find out.

Similar to the other projections, I would go with...

Starting

Phinisee FR
Langford FR/Grad Transfer
Smith SO
Morgan SR
Davis JR/Grad Transfer
 

Rotation

Durham SO
McRoberts RS SR
Hunter FR
Anderson FR
Thompson RS FR

TBD

Green JR (I struggle to see Green fitting in with CAM's style of play longterm)

Moore SO (Based off what we have seen so far, I really have no idea where to put him????)

Forrester FR (I wouldn't be opposed to Jake RS next year; year of strength training and acclimating to this level)

Yep I don't see Green here long-term. Wouldn't surprise me if he decides to head back east. We could really use a grad transfer or two if this team wants to be more competitive next season. Love what a guy like McRoberts gives us but he can't be playing 30 minutes a game if we expect to be successful.

It depends on how much he values competing for a NC, imo. Personally I expect him to go to Kansas because I think neither us nor Vandy have what he says he's looking for. 

[Brass Cannon 24,064]

I feel Rob and Jerome start. Not much else at the moment. 

[Hoosier Guy 7,472]

Juwan will be back. And I say the starting lineup next year is Phinisee, Romeo, Jerome, Smith and Morgan

I can live with that but I'm just not sold on Romeo coming to IU as of yet.

What skills does Morgan have at the next level that would make him go that route early?   He is a 6'7" thin post player with a jump shot that may or may not be consistent.  He is a WONDERFUL college player.  He has skills that do not, however, transfer to the NBA.

I can see where you're coming from there. Kind of like a Tyler Hansbrough type
