Troy Williams Decision

[Stuhoo 79,745]

I fully understand the logic that it will make the team better, but I don't buy that a senior Troy wouldn't have been a net plus.

Because not announcing it once it gets made only serves the purpose of getting attention.  which has been a problem with Troy on the court no need to bring it into his business dealings also 

Still not sure why it's anyone's business but his.

Don't think it's the right decision, but he was the one who was talking with scouts and teams, not us.

I wish him the best, definitely hope he succeeds!

Because for him the combine was never about whether or not he was coming back. If it WAS he would be coming back nothing about his combine would indicate he should stay in the draft so for him the choice was already made

And nothing wrong with that just man up and let people know.  Thomas Bryant made his decision possibly prematurely and what did he do  he announced it  

 

Yup, Troy owes it to everyone to meet your standards when making his own life choices.

You're making assumptions you can't possibly support. Do you know what NBA coaches may have said to him in private?

Like Boo said. When a player makes up their mind that they are ready. They ARE ready.

I get this. I don't fault Troy for it either.

Dakich seems to think its best for all. OG, TB, Juwan are very coachable. Freddie is said to be too. That's very important.

We need JB to be playing for wins and not an NBA audition. If so, we will be very very good.

Not surprised. About every student here knows hes not the smartest or nicest guy around Bloomington.

I'll say this, I think Troy is a huge asset to the team. I'm also not exactly upset to see him go. Especially with a degree. I think we have the right pieces to step up and fill his void.

I like the idea of having one of Troy and JBJ. I could have seen Troy and JBJ fighting to get theirs next season. If JBJ buys in ,like Yogi did last season, to winning and leading instead of auditioning this will be a really good team. It's crazy to think but if they would play like frosh TB they would get the team and themselves to where they want to go. Good luck to Troy, really hope another coach can get the best out of Troy's God given abilities. If they can he can make a great living by helping a team win.

Whether I agree or not with this decision, really hoping Troy catches on somewhere and carves out a niche for a team. It's always cool seeing Hoosiers in the NBA.

I wish Troy the very best overseas!

 

If you told Tom Crean eight weeks ago that he'd only lose one of the four players above, he'd have probably wrapped you in a bear hug. Thomas Bryant passed on the chance to be a first-round pick this year in hopes of emerging as a lottery pick next year. O.G. Anunoby didn't even flirt with turning pro even though he'd flashed enough raw potential to be a potential second-round flier. And James Blackmon wisely came back as well rather than risking going undrafted this June. The lone underclassman staying in the draft is Troy Williams, an undeniably talented wing who hasn't put it all together yet. Someone may select Williams in the second round because of his physical tools, but his wayward shot selection, frequent turnovers and inconsistency may also land him in the D-League next season.

 

-YAHOO

Good luck, you cant be afraid of failure....sometimes you gotta make your own decisions, and I think Troy made a good one! Give em hell!

[MadAboutIndiana 402]

Best of luck, Troy! Will be interesting to see how #5 is remembered

[Markb 14]

Has IU made a statement on Troy's decision???

Then they should have benched his butt....permanently.

I suppose troy was given leeway just due to coaches keeping the boo williams pipeline open??

Come on man, Let's not overreact to things we know nothing about.

Troy Williams is a hard guy to leave off the court. There is SOoooooo much more that goes into his playing time than Boo's pipeline.

Cream was coaching for his life. He knew he needed to win. He clearly thought Troy gave him his best chance.

Also, we all noticed that Troy's PT was cutback last season in games with bad Troy. Mom Williams didn't like it too much.

Anyway... Let's not pretend to know the intricacies of this one, of which I'm sure there are plenty.

If his playing time was kept up because of trying to keep connections.. then Crean screwed up.
