Last I saw he was testing the NBA waters. Kid looks to be keeping all his options open.

Three years into his college career and he is shooting 37% overall......but 38% from three.  Weird.

Remember watching him in HS. I wanted Akinjo over Phinisee. Akinjo was hyper competitive and had that dog in him.

It won’t be Indiana.

Yep.   Not sure IU would even want to go after him.   High volume guy that dominates the ball.  Georgetown got better  without him and Arizona might of got worse.

Yeah, won’t argue with you there. I still think he is much better than Phin, but I don’t particularly want him.

Mangas looks extremely slow on tape.

That's what I saw too.I think Big Ten guards could pick him clean as a chicken defensively.

Would be a hard pass for me, and I’m guessing IU will agree

I would take him, but wouldn't go after him hard either. I'm pretty happy right now with 1-3. Hoping we are looking for either a 4 or 5. I'd take a pure shooter too.

I really liked watching him play.  Weird career he kind of regressed in his senior year.    It’s interesting every time I watched  he seemed to hit shots but his numbers were down this year.   I would take him In a heartbeat 

[yogisballin 2,408]

If we just slap a "forward" label on Stewart when he starts at the "3"... is it still a big deal? I guess I don't understand the problem with our "3" being 6'5? 
And I really lack faith in our guards, as well. 

I’m right there with you. I think we need 2 more guards or a guard and wing

Being an engineering major, Myles Johnson took a mathematical approach to the UCLA vs. Stanford debate by creating an Excel table and giving each school rankings in various categories: "It was out of a 4.0 scale and it was like 3.86 to 3.79. It was really close."

Probably one of my top 5 non IU player all time I have enjoyed following throughout his college career.

I don't understand the criticism of Galloway.  I loved his energy and what he brought to the team.  He is the kind of teammate I would want on my every day of the week.  I thought he was one of the brightest spots on the team last year.

 

I’m a huge Galloway fan but he has to improve his stroke, it is so broken. Amazing he is a coaches son and that was never corrected.

Couple of things I want to point out:

1) Lot of Zeisloft disrespect around here. He has spent time in the G-League and has done well overseas. I know he didn't score much here but offense was never an issue on that team. 

2) Regarding Mangas, a former professor of his stated he didn't think the big stage and bright lights of Bloomington would fit his personality. Doesn't mean anything for certain obviously but it's noteworthy from someone who knows him personally.

Not trying to shoot the messenger, but an academic professor trying to remark about a players on court/field personality is about as useless as someone attempting to predict what kind of neighbor Ric Flair would be. Who would ever have met John Stockton, Isaiah Thomas, or Larry Bird and thought this dude is one of the most intense competitors  in NBA history. Off court personality can belie a players on court intensity.
