Malik isn’t coming off of the bench
If CMW says he develops big men then is he or is he not teaching Reneau to face up to the basket and shoot midrange jumpers or fake and drive? No way can he make it to the pros with his limited back to the basket game.
Can we at least expect in year 4 given he gets all these big name guys the expectation is a sweet sixeteen and top three in the big ten. I would hope that would be the expectation but maybe i am just unrealistic these days and i live in the past.
I would be happy with 6th in the B10 and getting into the tournament because I’m not as sophisticated as the fans that have high expectations.
I think his name means he sharts his pants consistently
Hard to replace Galloway's energy, especially if he improves his 3
How about his FTs? Not good enough.
I'll believe Ballo is coming only when I see his commitment video online!
Not your post, but is that horrifying, as you're probably right that's what we hope for anymore.
IU has waited 4 years for Galloway to improve 3s and free throws. Why would he suddenly become better if he hasn't done it for 4 years?
The tournament, as a 1 and done deal on a neutral site, is not a good barometer. Weird things happen.
his FT shooting has actually regressed each year, with a big dip this past season. His shot has been jacked since day one. If it was fixable, it would have been fixed by now. It is what it is.
46% his 3rd year on two attempts per game. He suddenly got better that year and then regressed last year.
Funny, but if you listen to Todd Leary on the post game shows, he says Galloway has a fundamental flaw in his shooting stroke that he could fix in 1 session. Cav, can you figure out some legal way to get Todd and Trey together over the summer? What happens if they both just want to go shoot some hoops at an outdoor court somewhere?
TMP referenced it in a previous thread and I've noticed it too...it's almost like Trey twists his arms/wrists ever so slightly when shooting free throws. I think he has his right elbow out too far from his body, which throws off his north/south alignment and aim. I'm not a shot doctor so what do I know. But a coach's kid from Indiana shooting fifty-some percent from the line his Sr year....hell Uve Blab shot better than 70% his sr year, and his shot was always awkward as hell.
Can't wait until he's gone. Most overated player in IU history.
I think everyone here knows his free throw stat. Give it a rest. Bitching just to bitch about something is trifling.
TJD wasnt on the roster this past season. Had to have something to do with the 3pt fg%. Free Throws? Yikes
Don't think it was 2 per game... didn't he take like 45 3s that year? At any rate, as I've said, I'll never buy a guy is a good 3 pt shooter if he's not near 80% or better on FTs. That is what is known as an anomaly, imo.
Maybe not highly likely. But there have been an endless number of NBA guys who have dramatically improved their shooting or free throws at ages 22 to 25. But yeah - not holding my breath.
Once his shooting struggles became obvious; maybe second half of the season. Early on he was being covered pretty tightly, imo.
Malik isn’t coming off the bench and I doubt that Tucker is. A five star isn’t coming here to ride the bench
TJD was always a good rebounder, but I thought his passing out of a double team improved a ton his last year. The rebounding is a head scratcher for Malik. That, passing out of double teams and fouls would make him a much more complete player.
