(2016) PF De'Ron Davis to IU

[HoosierRob 1,042]

A senior troy will not come off the bench. If he were to come back.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,799]

Overland knocks off unbeaten Eaglecrest 63-41 tonight. DD with 10 pts. is all that's out for now. Boxscore

Newspaper account of the game.  There are no additional stats for DD but there is a nice quote.

Solid game. They updated the Boxscore to.

 

10 pts, 10 rbs, 7 blks and 3 stls.

I'm getting more and more excited about Davis, he seems like he will do all the dirty work we need done.  And Bryant can be our inside scoring.  Should be an excellent duo. 

[Hoosiers219 178]

Seems like he's more of a 5 than TB. If TB stays, I'd say DD would be the rebound key and TB be the ppg guy. Sounds dumb but hopefully somebody understand what I'm saying?

Seems like everyone seems to forget about Newkirk. Isn't he suppose to be the true PG? DD is going to do a significant amount of everything his rookie year.

I'd say that is a solid ten. Would Rojo transfer? I hope not.

To be honest, I wasn't sure about Newkirk. I don't really know that much about his game. I just thought he was a true PG. Rojo isn't getting hardly any play at the 1. I haven't really seen much that would lead me to believe that his skill set transfers over to true point guard.

Could someone talk a little bit about Newkirk and what he would bring to the table next year? I suppose this should probably be in a separate thread. My bad. Mods feel free to move, if you're so inclined.

I'm curious whether that's the lineup you would pick, or the lineup you think Crean would go with?

I would rather roll with something like this:

 

Johnson/Newkirk

Blackmon/Cujo

OG/Hartman

Davis/Morgan or Hartman

Bryant/Morgan

[Stuhoo 85,601]

Uhmmmm...

 

Excuse me. The starting lineup will be:

Rojo

Newkirk

Colinn

OG

DeRon

 

Unless you want to go 'Alaska Hoosier style':

Rojo

Newkirk

OG

Colinn

THON!!!

 

Sadly, I seem to be predicting TB going pro.

JBJ? Troy?

[Stuhoo 85,601]

JBJ = Limited

Troy = Goner for sure

2/5, Overland defeated Smoky Hill 69 - 48. Davis with 5 pts.  Only had 2 fouls so not sure why his stat total might be low.

he doesn't seem to be stacking up the points. Wonder why? Team virtually wins every game so he is doing his part I suppose. Noticed this with Vonleh too. On the contrary, Vonleh's team wasn't winning much.

[chitown hoosier 743]

A lot of times committed kids who are team players let other teammates do the scoring to help with their recruiting. He also had like 4 blocked shots so it looks like he was focusing on defense. I'm not too worried about his scoring because he can be a really good offensive player of he wants to be. I'm extremely excited for next year with a potential TB/DD/OG combo. It would be hard to score in the paint with those 3 gaurding.

[KingPG21 6,587]

DD is not going to be a high PPG guy is my guess. I think he will be an impact guy from day 1 though. I think he will be a 6-8 PPG guy as a freshman especially if TB stays. However, I think he makes us better on both ends of court due to size, athleticism, team play.

So basically like what Davis has been for MSU so far this year.
