    I don't think it is all intentional but it is there just the same. A lot of it certainly comes from the being overly fixated on shooting to the exclusion of everything else. 
    It has been suggested, apparently seriously, that Gunn would be taking minutes from Galloway after all. Gunn certainly has the tools and potential to be a strong contributor down the road but Galloway will most likely be eating his lunch and charging him for the privilege for the foreseeable future.

    Yes, some are. I'm not just talking in this thread or even on this site. I've seen apparently serious comments about running Galloway off for players in the transfer portal. I've seen people dredge up stats in to attempt to demonstrate Galloway is not all that valuable. 
    Not everyone needs to shoot 3's well. Nor are we trying to build an all star team here. Everyone gets too caught up in 3 point shooting and recruit rankings. There's more to the game than great shooting and Galloway did almost all of those things at a high level. He's also the type of guy that makes guys better, both during games and in practice.  It bears pointing out again, that it was Galloway, when healthy, that finished games over the two primary shooters on the team last year. Hopefully other players develop to the point that we have more and better options this year. Hopefully some of the freshmen are able to contribute as well. If either of those things happen, it'll likely be in part because Galloway is pushing them in practice. One thing is for sure, if someone does end up taking minutes from Trey, they'll have to earn it because he's not going to roll over and let it happen.

    Agree to sentence #1, and disagree with sentence #2. 
    Based on what I've read so far on this thread, the ability to hit the 3 pt shot is a pre-requisite for playing time from most of the posts. If you have 2-3 guys that can shoot the 3, I would gladly play a player that is a stellar defender AND has the ability to create and get the ball to the right shooters at the right time. He doesn't have to shoot the 3. TG was probably the 4th option to shoot last year. I don't think we need 5 guys on the floor to be able to shoot the 3 ball. 2-3 consistent shooters and 1 viable threat to shoot the 3 is plenty IMO, especially if you have any inside game at all.
    If Jordy is allowed to work with the guys on the floor in practice I think you'll see some real improvement.
    But for now, the coaching staff trusts TG to play his way, and to his strengths. I don't see his minutes diminishing, but his role may change somewhat with addition of other "shooters" on the team.

    Yeah, I don't think Mr. Gunn will have too much fun in practice this year, same with Mr. Banks. I think they will be immensely better for it, though.

    Yup! I get that we're all desperate for shooting after the last 5-6 years, but Galloway is a guy with a unique skill set and that skill set only gets increasingly valuable with more talent/shooting around him. 
    I'm not saying Galloway is an NBA player, and these guys play different positions but stylistically think of him as a Draymond Green or Rajon Rondo type. You don't bench those guys because you need shooting, you surround them with better shooters and their value and impact soars. 
    Before someone tries to claim I'm saying Galloway is an NBA All-Star, clearly without a doubt that is not what I'm saying. I'm saying Galloway has a unique skill set that few others on the team bring and it only gets better with increased talent and shooting around him.

    Great points! I'm not sure why people think Galloway and Bates are an either/or thing. 
    We lost Stewart, Phinisee and Lander from the backcourt/wing minutes. I'd expect Kopp's 25mpg to go down and how much that goes down should go to Bates. Boom, Bates just got his minutes increases, assuming he can make big leaps in defense, effort, decision making, shooting, ball handling, etc. 
    JHS's minutes come from Stewart's 24.4 mpg. 
    So right there we just increased Bates' minutes and got JHS his minutes and we haven't touched Galloway's or the left over minutes from Phinisee and Lander leaving. 
    It's pretty glaringly easy to see how at worst Galloway's minutes will stay the same, especially given that he probably has the most unique skill set of that group.

    I will be really, really surprised if you're not disappointed then. It was crystal clear that IU was better last year, for the most part, when Trey Galloway was playing 20ish mpg.

    There is really no reason to set your expectations and standards in May. We are going to win a lot of games next year and TG is going to be the 6th or 7th man and an integral part of that. There are so many facets to basketball, outside of the 3pt shot. 
    And.. ok... 9-8 vs. B10 compeition. We went 9-11 in the conference, so again, we were a better team with TG. There is absolutely no arguing that. 
    How about games @syracuse, @UW, @OSU, Rutgers, @PU @PSU--- two of those in OT, the other 4 games we lost by a total of 13pts. You don't think he is a difference-maker in those games? Look how important he was vs. Purdue, Michigan, ILL, etc. So important down the stretch of games, or just in general.

    It just isn't hard to see Trey's value, and that is why I said "personally this is what I think". To assert TG's mins are going to drop... I think would be laughed at. It makes no sense. 
    And yes, I agree, TB is likely to play more mins, that isn't overly relevant though. This isn't an either/or thing, but the point stands... there are more elements to TB's game that he has to work on, than TG does, to have a big impact on our team in 22-23. TB was a lost puppy dog defensively and was incredibly inefficient offensively last season. 
    TB has a pretty sizable jump to make in multiple areas, Trey needs to improve one area a marginal amount. This isn't a comparison, both are going to play 18mpg+... past that, not sure, that will be decided in the coming months. 
    Personally, I do think TB makes that jump and TG is one HELLUVA backup, as he was last year.
