Let's be fair...Phinisee has taken it to the rim 1 on 3 a number of times too.  Same for Al.  I don't like it, but Archie must.  If he didn't,  he wouldn't let it happen so often.

Yes, and so did Yogi as a freshman.  Look how legendary he became at Indiana.  

Phinisee is still a freshman.  

Durham is a sophomore.  

Green is a junior.

I love watching Green at his best and at those times he is by far the superior point guard (especially feeding into the paint).  However, from what I've seen he is also (as a junior) more prone to mistakes than the other two younger guards you mentioned.

I think there is a time for each, and all three have skills the others do not.  Phinisee, I am quite certain, will become a stud at Indiana.  As for Durham, he's looking significantly better this year than last and I hope that improvement continues the next two seasons...if so, look out.  Green is still making the same mistakes as he did as a freshman.  His game can be smooth as silk and awe-inspiring at times, but he needs to gain the composure to avoid the "freshman" mistakes.

I actually think Phinisee looks better than Yogi did as a freshman..Yogi had more around him too. That is why I still think Rob should start. He's a freshman and will look bad at times. The last two games being an example. Hopefully he rebounds this week. I liked Devonte off the bench too.

Agree with all of that. Green at his best changes games for the better. Green at his worst, or average I guess, changes games for the worse. He's an enigma. Al seems to be the most improved this season. Rob will be a stud and may be that sooner than later.

Well said. The only piece I disagree with here is Green always being the most mistake prone. Al can get into spells as well. Particularly when he gets sped up by the pace ie the Arkansas and Duke games. 

That being said, dude has greatly improved this year and I love to see those lefty 3's fly.

Did you see the play I'm referring to?  Not comparable at all.   Green's play was completely selfish.  It was not a take.  He dribbled into traffic, had chances to throw it out and didn't; and ultimately turned it over without really getting a look at the rim except to throw it in the general direction.  Not the same thing.  At all.

I did see it.  It was awful.  Same as when Phinisee does it.  Driving 1 on 3 instead of kicking it out is bad basketball.  Same as when Phinisee does it.  I'm not sure why Archie allows it

Sorry all, this is a TJD thread.  I'm ducking out of this discussion here

It's not really about 'allowing it'. Guys are playing basketball, sometimes a lane is there and you make a move and it works, other times the defense reacts quickly and what was an open lane to the basket turns into a 1-on-3. It's not like Archie is telling them to take 1-on-3 shots, it's just guys reading plays and sometimes they make the wrong read. The problem comes in when they're not improving in their reads, which you can make a case that Green hasn't improved in this area at all during his career, while Phinisee is still young, does it less often, and will most likely improve.

So some have suggested that TJD had signed a few weeks back. Was that confirmed? Was that based on the quick response from IU?

If any has any info that confirms he likely signed a few weeks prior to his announcement I would be curious to hear more.

Yes he signed early. Archie wouldn’t of been able to speak about him in his press conference unless he had signed his LOI
Early signing period ran from November 14-21. He signed during that time but didn’t announce until last Friday. When he did an unofficial visit to the UC-Davis game he was already a Hoosier

Did  they shut Davis down? Is Pike that good?

Dang. 84-44

 

i guess Pike was ranked 12th, but still. That’s a beatdown on the #1 team.

It was 18-0 before Center Grove scored.  At one point it was 43-11 and TJD had 9 of the 11.
