Allow me take you back to the video that convinced me that Woody was the right guy. Three NBA players that played for him, including JJ Reddick and Melo:

I really don't think those expectations need to be put to bed. Ware is a modern big, not a post-up inside big. He's going to be out on the perimeter in the PnR game opening space for our ball handlers to get to the rim. 

His inside game is basically catching lobs off the PnR and crashing the boards for putbacks off of missed layups, etc.

TJD did that this year (and much more). One of the problems was Race’s positioning. He was the second guy in the post. 

Where’s Reaneau —and more importantly his defender—going to be during all this?

We did some with TJD, but once XJ went down we largely ran the offense through the post. We did PnR heavy when JHS had a clear mismatch (ie Purdue with Edey playing drop coverage). 

With TJD and Race both of their best attributes was posting up. Ware has almost no post-game at all, that's not his strength. 

Ware also can shoot a bit and I think Reneau can develop that too. Reneau hit some perimeter shots early in the season. 

Beyond that, I'm not 100% convinced they both start. Not saying they won't both start, I just think there's a chance they don't both start. 

With Ware, I'd envision his game his PnR, catching lobs and almost crashing the boards from the perimeter after setting screens. I don't really see him in the paint that often, I see him way more active in terms of movement in the halfcourt compared to TJD.

In other words, the style of play Mike Woodson coached for his entire career except for the two years with TJD.

Right, and I think Ware fits that style really well.

Here’s to hoping that bears out. Ware is def a p&r guy and mobile that’s a real plus for me. Need to see how the O is set and who else joins.

Illinois had a good day. Picked up Utah Valley’s Justin Harmon to go along with Si Illinois’s Dumask earlier today.

This was written before Ware committed but says Indiana is in a "favorable position" for Dalton Knecht; don't know what they're basing that on, if anything, but hopefully.

so Arterio Morris from Texas, will be sophomore averaged 11 mins behind two stud guards at Texas.  Think we make a call?

No idea whatsoever if IU has a chance but I would imagine they’d at least sniff around.

There’s backstory there you’d have to take a very close look at.

Did we ever get a visit scheduled with Knecht?

There’s no doubt that TJD’s refusal to shoot limited his ability a bit. But there’s not a lot a distance between refusal to shoot and can’t shoot. Ware made 15 3’s last year 27% shooting. Unless that really improves teams will drop to protect the rim the same way they did with TJD.   
 

I *hope* Reneau improves as much as everyone else, but we all know how that goes. He seemed to want to play outside a little more but he was by far the most effective when he was catching it in the post and bullying his way to the basket.
 

Just something to keep an eye on. If they both don’t start together, as you suggest, then things get interesting. If we snag another post in the portal I’d say that is increasingly unlikely.

A lot easier to do when one of your bigs is Al Horford or Amare Stoudamire—probably two of the best jump shooting bigs of the last 20 years.    With that said, Ware *does* fit the description of the other post Woodson has had (at least as people have described Ware here…I don’t think I watched Oregon all season).  

 

We need some personnel improvement to get there. I am high on Reneau though and have been all season.
