Reed Bailey Is A Hoosier!

[Stuhoo]

Inside the Hall is running a really good new article on Reed with some new lineup quotes from Devries. Pretty optimism-inducing stuff- Devries makes him sound like a Danny Wolf clone.

Also notable that from this interview it seems overwhelmingly likely that Reed Bailey, Tucker Devries, and Lamar Wilkerson will be the focal points of this team.

I am looking forward to watching them + Conerway. Lots of interesting lineup combinations depending on the fifth player on the floor. Think it’s going to be a really fun year 1

Defensively looks like we'll be a 'scrappy' in-your-face, high energy lane-defending, defensive rebounding team. That can work with the right guys, at least at this point the roster building looks good for that, imo, and Reed certainly looks like a mis-match on the offensive end. I would still love to have a guy like Ware, a real athletic shot-blocker, but if we don't add someone like that the level of energy/intensity is going to be really important. 

On top of the outside shooting and spread out play, which I am so looking forward to watching, one thing I'm confident about going in -- we're not going to be re-watching lackadaisical, stand-around players on offense any more. Thank God.

He'll need one of these.

We kinda knew Tucker was going to be the focal point.

Ja Morant and Reed Bailey partying in Memphis on a Saturday late night?

I hope Memphis doesn’t test for grip strength.
