Both. Unless TJD is coming back as well, I don't see how Race returning changes anything for Geronimo. Race would almost certainly start at the 5 and Geronimo would probably start at the 4.

Obviously, would love to have both, but I do wonder if playing time is a concern for Geronimo.

vemmeistars Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Sounds good to me. I didn't think Race would be able to play the 5 full time, but the potential for 5 capable shooters on the floor is intriguing. Also, hope to see Duncomb on the floor more. thebigweave 1 Quote

Just have to hit ‘em Yea I don't believe it is exactly the offense that creates open 3s. Why defend it when 75% of the time they are trying to make terrible post entry passes?

Just have to hit ‘em Would love to see the breakdown of this. Uncontested shots for almost everyone besides a few (P Stew, Kopp, and maybe X) aren't the same for others. Also, uncontested shots where they shoot a high % opposed to uncontested shots plays a big role in this. We could run great action with Race getting a wide open look from the corner, that doesn't mean it's a good shot. That same play could result in P Stew in the same position but it's heavily contested. Running something for Kopp to catch and shoot while WIDE OPEN is not the same as running something for Kopp where he has to take a few dribbles to get an uncontested look. That latter is a low % shot even if uncontested. Quote
HoosierAloha Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Would love to have Race return! Race adding 15% to his outside shooting would change the dynamics of this offense. lillurk and thebigweave 2 Quote

Maybe not on defense against the biggest goons in the BIG but we will presumably have Durr for relief in those cases. Offensively though, Race is a great fit for what Coach Woodson purportedly wants from the 5 spot. The post focused offense likely leaves with TJD. thebigweave 1 Quote

The post mid-season Race! Not sure exactly how the numbers check out, but his crappy 26% 3 point shooting has been largely comprised of a 15% first half of the season followed by about 35% for the second half. thebigweave, taco corp, lillurk and 1 other 4 Quote

Lander not so much maybe. There haven't really been chemistry issues, everyone seems to like each other. Any idea about Tamar and how he feels. He seems to have had an “active” year but probably thought he would be more productive on the court Chris007, MemphisHoosier and lillurk 3 Quote

I did some quick math b/c I've been curious anyway. If you simply look at the last 1/3rd of the season, Race is percentage-wise our best 3pt shooter in that stretch at 42.8% (9-21). X is at 41%, Kopp is 36%, Stewart is 30% in that same stretch. thebigweave, jk34, lillurk and 2 others 5 Quote

I'll be surprised if Duncomb sees IU's floor again. I think he'll transfer. Unless he was hurt for a lot more of the season than was made public. When you can't play in mop up time, something is wrong. Injury or otherwise. MikeRoberts and bird4par 1 1 Quote

Not sure how many more big guys will be in the big ten next year. I think Kofi is gone and probably Dickenson as well. Edey might be the only real big man next year. lillurk 1 Quote

Purdue for one will always have a couple. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote

IU_FanClub Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 What are the chances of Edey also leaving? Pretty sure I saw a mock draft this year with him getting picked in the second round Quote
