My perception is just that Gunn has a more-consistent-looking shot from my limited analysis. Go Hoosiers! Shot 37% last season. He's got some work today if he wants to shoot anything close to that in the B1G. Again though.. I'm excited for him. Quote

Bowhunter Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 He looks really smooth and very athletic. If he can play some defense, maybe he is our shooter. cthomas and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

He seems overshadowed by some higher profile kids, but I think he will surprise. HoosierHoopster 1 Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 He’s too athletic to defend the way he does. He’s really going to need to lock in and give much better effort. Talented 3 level scorer. Can hit tough shots. playing time will be dependent on Defense and ability to MAKE shots at this level. We have a huge need for what he offers if he can do the other stuff. He and Bates are directly competing for minutes imo. thebigweave and Stuhoo 2 Quote

He and Bates are directly competing for minutes imo. The verdict is still out on offense but our defensive improvement between Miller’s last season and Woodson’s first leaves zero doubt in my mind Woodson will get him squared away on that end of the floor. I think his biggest hindrance next year will be his frame. If he doesn’t put on some size he’ll struggle with the physicality in the B1G. If he does, it will adversely affect his shooting and it can take months for shooters to adjust to added muscle. Just look at Yogi. High percentage 3 point shooter in HS, 30% his freshman year, and 40%+ every year after. Luckily Gunn has good form and probably hasn’t hit his ceiling in terms of shooting percentage. Quote
