He is very streaky shooter, and does love to shoot and son said all he is interested in is professional ball and how to get there-why he went in draft. I would be more worried about team chemistry. I would take Galloway everyday. Now if he is a backup that may work. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk Get him on campus and figure lineups out later. lillurk 1 Quote

Would also make sense why things have been quiet, if there was reason to believe he was interested in IU. I seem him offering an option for minutes and probably has a low floor, high ceiling. Not sure of the fit, but I also think there isn't any reason not to use a scholarship on an option. Do wonder if a more traditional 2 guard wouldn't be a better get, though. cthomas 1 Quote

So talented and a fun player to watch. Just needs to improve his shooting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Easy to see him playing in rotation with X and Galloway. Love him as a facilitator. He’s just a clever kid. 1 other thing. He’ll play next year at 21. Would be stunned if he’s not a 1 year guy, which is perfect. lillurk 1 Quote

JSHoosier Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Not saying he doesn't have potential but I don't really want to bring in a transfer that would still have 3 years so scholarships open up for 24 and 25 classes. I'd go for a more traditional 2 with less eligibility left, and one that hopefully shot better than 32%. Quote

Mike Woodson trusts his ability to develop guys into NBA players that have NBA size/athleticism. If he could get him to being drafted next year to go along with the others IU will be in serious recruiting business. lillurk, Hoosierfanyuh and J34 3 Quote

If not why bring in anyone who is not considerably better than what you already have. cthomas, sweetpain and taco corp 3 Quote

This kid has deficiencies, but he also has a handle and vision. That’s not better or worse, but very different. lillurk and RaceToTheTop 2 Quote
mike vannice Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 I guess the question is can he play defense and will he upset the team chemistry. Trust Coach Woodson to figure it out. go iu bb 1 Quote
