What’s amazing about this is Duncan was thought of as a much more complete player than TJD.

He's pretty close to what Duncan was doing that season as well. Indiana just has to keep winning and he's going to be right there for POY(which really pisses off Purdue fans lol)

Well-deserved. He’s putting up better numbers than Edey and he isn’t 7’6.

After the game TJD announced he would not return for another year.  So enjoy him while you can.

Can't blame him.

Can't really improve his draft stock any more than his incredible recent play already has. Even any incremental improvements to his play would be more than offset by him being a year older.

Someone will take him, probably early second round, but a good ncaa tourney run and/or strong combine / individual workouts could push him into 1st round

He really should be named B1G POY, especially after we swept PU

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Yet another award list honor.

 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

More recognition.

Per an Indiana release, Indiana senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis was named the Co-Big Ten Player of the Week along with Penn State's Camren Wynter.

Alec Lasley - 

Indiana forward Trayce Jackson-Davis is named a Sporting News First-Team All-American.  He becomes the first First-Team All-American selection from Indiana since 2013.

SIAP --

TJD named 1st Team All B1G (media and coaches), and to the All Defensive Team (they gave Frankenstein POY - that's a whiff, imo, turned on PU winning the conf with a weaker schedule, and despite our sweep)

JHS also racked up the honors

Predictable but still a joke. Edey improved significantly from last year but his B1G POY candidacy was mostly a product of the media narrative and it's clear none of the voter's actually looked at the stats.

The DPOY result is almost worse. At least the Edey narrative is understandable. Audige and McConnell are fine defenders, if you discount their mauling of opponents, but no one fears them. More than once an IU opponent missed an open layup, shuffled their feet, or passed up a wide open shot for fear of being swatted by TJD.

IU double-doubles this year:

TJD 16

Race 2

X 1

Geronimo 1

Picking the best player on the best team as the winner of individual awards is a horrendously dumb way of doing things.
