@Certified Sunshine Pumperwhat's confusing about this? Flory isn't good enough offensively to play 30+ mpg on top of foul issues and Payne has never physically been able to play 30 mpg or really even come close to it.

A 22/18 minute split with Payne + Flory at the 5 with Flory playing a 4-5 minutes at the 4 when a bigger lineup is needed would be a good sell for DeVries. With multiple years of eligibility left, a good development year would potentially allow Flory to push 30+ mpg as an upperclassmen.

Isn't realistic, they don't compliment each other enough. You pick

So much anxiety and arguing. None of that changes what will happen.

I like it, I love it, i want some more of it.   I don’t see either of them listening to that sales pitch unfortunately but from a winning basketball perspective it adds up.  

I mean Payne left Minnesota as a spot starter to go be a spot starter at Texas A&M. He's never averaged more than 23 mpg anywhere . I think he knows and understands his limitations at this stage. I really struggle to see Auburn guaranteeing Flory 30+ mpg next year. Would be a massive jump that ultimately leaves him disappointed. He's just not ready for those kinds of minutes yet.

However the worst free throw shooting duo we could pick.  Why can’t Zeller just come back and play the 5 eternity?  With enright and either of these centers the free throw shooting would suffer.

Why don't they compliment each other? You get 20 minutes of an elite shot blocker and potential high end rebounder who could be a massive threat in lob action and then you get 20 minutes of a brute who draws fouls and is very efficient around the rim. What else do you want/need from your 5?

There's an ignore feature. Your bravery to skip over passionate basketball dialogue is duly noted.

That would be amazing, no one is denying that.

No way one team gets both those guys though. 

And I don't want an offense that has both those bigs on the floor at once. We've seen how that works out.

Your posts seem like they add a lot to discussion

I would be all over that! Payne 23mpg/Flory 17mpg. Not sure Flory would though. 

If Flory really is down to Auburn, IU, and Michigan (still?) then there's no way he can expect to realistically play heavy minutes next year. I would assume he understands that though. 

[AKHoosier]

Also can we please take the money we offered to Conwell and extend the same bag to Braylon Mullins?

Let's go.

Guys clean it up. Add to the discussion in some way. Get therapy if you need to vent

Yes!! We got him. We battled a lot of teams but greatness and genes won out in the end.

It’s not his job to do it, but I imagine he could be a great recruiter. If I’m him I’m all in on that - I would be texting and calling all my friends and guys I’ve played with at camps etc that could help.

I would like to take this moment to acknowledge that if this was another dude in the same rank range as Tucker we would all be going nuts that we just got a top 10ish portal dude.

So let’s act accordingly!!! let’s go! Excited to see some crazy in-motion threes being launched from this guy. Tired of our only good looks being 10 set shots for the last few years and he should fix that.

I find it interesting that two hours ago the IUBB official Instagram site posted a 50 second Luke Goode highlight reel in it's story.

Makes me think that IU might have some indication that he is likely going to be back.

Sure hope so.

Bruce Pearl can guarantee 30 minutes per game.  Doesn't mean he has to mean it.
