Just don't see Davis having a role on this team. Jake and Clifton are the type of big that fits on an Archie Miller team. 

He gives us an option to play against teams with big, strong inside guys. He will give us important minutes, even if it is a lot less than what he could have had last year.

I tell you what, Archie Miller has rich people problems right now. There is soooo much talent on this team, every one of them realizes it, and is playing with urgency. Who gets the minutes? Man, what a great problem to have.

That, and if one shoots 70% from the field, they fit on any team.

57.6% from the line?  Ouch.  Gotta shoot better than that from the charity stripe.

Thank God It's Basketball Season!!!

 

Agree totally, especially since college football is over.

[DLG3]

Personally, I don’t want Devonte shooting 12 shots in a game the rest of the year

Lots of things to work on, but I love the ceiling for this team. I know he will have some of those freshman nights, but RP is my point guard. He plays in sync with the rest of the team. Greene does not.

[tyappleg]

McRoberts with a staggering +36 in 18 min. 

That is why he starts.  Just hustles and does everything right. 

[BGVille Hoosierfan]

He can play wreckless...then he can make many plays and score. But there us no way to know which will come.

He's a mini Troy Williams...all the headache with WAY less potential.

FT has to improve. RP is my point guard. Live with freshmen mistakes. Devonte is still Devonte.

[Stuhoo]

In my opinion you guys are being waaay too hard on DeVonte Green.

He can create his own shot with the second unit. He defends well, and with aggression.

He will be a volatile player, but he will be important to the team’s success.

If you stop thinking of him as a potential starting point guard, and start thinking of him as a twenty minute per game energy and scoring option, he looks a lot better.

There has always been "that" player, and there will always be "that" player, that suits up in the cream in crimson.

He does, but he does not need to be as forceful offensively as he was many times.  "Let the game come to you" seems to be a concept with which he is not familiar.   And against better teams, that won't fly.

Also I think Damezi seems to really get it. If he's open he'll shoot but otherwise he knows what's around him. Also isn't really lost defensively. Can see him continuing to get minutes

He is very limited defensively and when Durham, Hunter, and Thompson get healthy; his minutes will decrease significantly.  He also needs to get MUCH stronger.

I see him as a potential redshirt, to be honest.

Well Archie said he didn't plan to redshirt anyone so don't see that happening barring injury. Also we haven't seen Thompson or Hunter yet unfortunately.

Can’t redshirt this year now that he played in a regular season game. That’s a rule coaches would like changed like footballs redshirt rule of playing in 4 games or less and u can still redshirt

Too late for redshirt now, but yes, as soon as Al and Jerome are back Damezi’s minutes will disappear.

Good performance, defensively we need to improve I thought. Not a horrible performance on that end but definitely room to improve... and FREE THROWS! Won't hurt us against teams like Chicago State but we have to be better than 56% against good teams. We left 8-9 more points on the court just by free throwing shooting alone. Hopefully it's a fluke, and in Romeo's case I'm confident it is.
