But do you agree a guy like Leal who is willing to work for it could easily improve that shot and be an asset? And he has more physical ability to develop and be serviceable defensively if you’re going to compare him to Roth. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I remember at one point in time people questioning the likes of Jordan Hulls and his ability to play at this level. He just so happened to work his a** off to be able to do so and I don’t doubt Leal’s efforts or goals to do the same. And on this team, just be able to shoot the three. We need a shooter. He’s capable. Matt Roth even had to play defense in the B1G. Leal is the type that could turn into a real assessment as an upperclassman. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Well. It still only takes less than one half of watching Will Wade for me to wish he would never win another game ever. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I’m 36 effing years old and I feel like I’ve maybe never seen a reliable Indiana team. Like, reliable that doesn’t make me want to vomit. The only reliability we have is to never see a field of 68. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

We can agree to partially disagree. We’re 3 games in. New team. New system. Let’s see how it plays out. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I give people the benefit of the doubt when circumstances have changed. 🤷‍♂️ And maybe his shooting doesn’t get better. Looks like we have more offense contributors around him now to cover that up. As long as he’s solid with the ball and keeping the defensive prowess, I can live with that. Overall his confidence seems improved so I’m hoping that pays off over the course of the season.

Rob is a defensive stalwart. All of our guards did well pressuring the ball, but of all of them Rob is least likely to be beaten. Less popular opinion, his offense will be sufficient when shots start to fall. He attacks more in the half court and his ball handling seems more confident. He looked to score last night, and I’ll take that over what was happening the last two years. Yeah, he needs to push the all more like XJ and KL did. But Rob will be better than he has been the last two years. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

So where do we go with this when we inevitably raise our 16% 3pt shooting? As long as these guys aren’t doing hard strength sessions the day of the game, there’s really nothing he’s doing that is the primary cause of these shooting woes. Strength doesn’t translate to inaccuracy, poor form, or poor self efficacy. With the reps/shots these guys are getting up daily their mechanics and muscle memory will adapt fine regardless of their strength. A lack of strength, however, gets you outmuscled on the block and 2nd place for loose balls. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
