In comparison to JBJ, Curtis is not as good a shooter but probably more athletic and better finisher at the rim. Defensively it is hard to say by watching them tonight but Curtis may have a slight edge.

Traffic cones have a slight edge on JBJ in regards to defense.

End of the first half in the Derby Classic and per a Rabjohns tweet:  "Curtis Jones with a really nice first half. Team-high 16 points for Maroon squad. Finished with a Eurostep from the right wing."

Curtis Jones has it rolling.  21 of his team's 77 points. Showed his hops throwing down alley oop off backboard from CJ Walker. 

 

NOTE:  He was not a starter in this game.

Having CuJo come off the bench and be that spark next season will be nice. This past season we really didn't have that from the guard spot. Just imagining having JBJ and CuJo get buckets while RoJo distributes more but becomes a knockdown shooter and JN getting everyone involved has me giddy for next season. We should have a better overall backcourt although Yogi will be difficult to replace.

Over/under 10.5 ppg for CuJo as a frosh?

If it's over we are going to be very good.

Agree, teams will really have to decide what they want to take away though. Having TB or DD on the floor with the second unit is going to keep defenses honest allowing players like CuJo to do their thing on offense.

This is the most talent overall that Crean will have on a team at IU. The Zeller & Oladipo group were more star studded, but this group is deeper 1-13. If we do replace Priller & Troy comes back its even more talent. Gonna be hard to keep everyone happy if your Crean next year.

Under. He could surprise me but after watching him tonight I would be very surprised to see him average double digits. He was getting to the basket pretty easy tonight. A lot of easy fast break points.
