No back up post players. You’d have to stagger Ballo and Reneau perfectly to make it work. Also no backup pg besides Galloway. Again you would have to stagger them perfectly to make it work. 
 

The truth is if Tucker and Goode are getting significant minutes someone expecting to significant mins will be left out. With that said, I think that if Tucker and Goode are playing better than expected, it’s still a net positive for Indiana.

15 mins a game is my guess. Cupps will get minutes too

Woodson on Jakai Newton: "He still hasn't fully recovered. He's had some good days but we can't consistently keep him on the floor. It's been frustrating for him."

This is so damn depressing to hear from Woody.  If Jakai didn't have bad luck he wouldn't have any luck at all.

The Newton news isn’t too surprising. I didn’t have him in my rotation I posted last week. I imagine he will “transfer” this upcoming Spring. 
 

Woodson mentioned he wants to play small with Luke or Malik at the 4. I don’t know about Malik at the 4, but Luke could do that. I’d like to go really small and see a line up with

 

Rice / Trey / Tucker / Mack / Luke

That’s an interesting line up I’d like to see get some minutes early.

I believe he said with Luke or Mack at the 4, not Malik.

If he plays like he talks, then they’ll be very good. Maybe even great. He’s a perfect match for Woody. Sort of like J-Hood. 

If he is accurate and is fitting right in with our starters and maybe even outplaying them a bit we’re going to be really good. I get the sense that he is right there with mgbako, he had no hesitation when talking about that relationship and I think he is being humble in all actuality

The best NBA prospect on our roster. Offensive game is extremely polished. 

He's both confident and humble -- all about the work, knows he has the tools.

And loved hearing him talk about how Bako can flat out shoot -- looking forward to seeing that in action, as in MORE shooting, along with this young man's attacking game, this season

If you want to really appreciate the personality and mindset of one of our new players, watch this interview of Oumar Ballo. Such a likeable guy, been noticing the IU fanbase for years, and his reaction when asked about Malik is priceless.

 

I listened to the Ballo, Tucker and Rice interviews and they all seem like really great guys.  Also heard MR’s interview and it was GREAT to hear him talk about practicing small ball with him at the 5.  Should be (better be..LOL) an exciting/successful season.
