Yep better to take a good shot and miss than spastically drive and turn it overkills the offense
exactly, you might make it, might get a offensive rebound, but bury your head and charging like a bull doesn't create anythingYep better to take a good shot and miss than spastically drive and turn it over
His game in high school was basically layups: bully your way to the bucket, cut to the bucket, somewhat penetrate to the bucket. That doesn't translate so well to the Big Ten when you are 6'3 or so and aren't really quick. Offensively, his game just doesn't translate to college right now. He isn't a consistent shooter, as his numbers tell.kills the offense
Never saw him play HS, Only guy AM recruited i saw play a HS game was the guy from South Bend and was like WTH?His game in high school was basically layups: bully your way to the bucket, cut to the bucket, somewhat penetrate to the bucket.

We don’t want him shootingkills the offense

TJD isnt even on the radar in the NBA..This thread is nonsense. Tell me how many Big Ten teams don't have an upperclassman as one of their top 2 scorers?
Al and Rob are not doing enough offensively. Simple as that. That Galloway starts says a lot about the overall weak guard play that IU has.
Once again I will point out that Indiana is going to be worse next year unless IU retains TJD. Might as well make that the trigger for Archie's job as well.
Then on a team of poor shooters, he’s going to have to do everything else at an extremely high level to garner minutes. What does he do at an extremely high level?We don’t want him shooting
Exactly why I prefer lander,Then on a team of poor shooters, he’s going to have to do everything else at an extremely high level to garner minutes. What does he do at an extremely high level?

100% he comes back.

Leal or Geronimo
Agree he is back. Unless Archie’s culture is so toxic he wants out.TJD isnt even on the radar in the NBA..

Issue is he a role player on a team that needs more scorers. If he is a garbage guy on a really good team who can play 12-15’minuties a game then great but he should t be a 30 minute a night guy.He doesn't need to be a shooter. See my post earlier on him but he is a four year role player that will come in and provide quality minutes. He bulks up this off season and is ready to role. He is the guy that swoops in and wins a few games off the bench.
Each certainly has more upside offensively, but all three are currently defensive liabilities.Exactly why I prefer lander,

I wouldn’t prefer Lander over Galloway in any situation ever this year. I like Leal subbing for Rob or Franklin to keep shooters on the floor. And I would use Geronimo over Galloway at the 1-3 positions but I actually like Geronimo over Hunter at the 4. He just seems to have the strength and athleticism to guard that position better.
yes...but come back to THIS??Mock drafts show TJD going 55-65.
He may well come back.
yeah that's my worry. Granted he's only a soph so probably not able to go Justin Smith on us. I haven't kept up with the changing transfer rules to know if he has any other option next year without sitting out a year- which he'd never do anyways.Agree he is back. Unless Archie’s culture is so toxic he wants out.
Yea as iffy as it may be I would have AD at point over Lander. Heck or AD just to bring it up and Galloway or Franklin facilitate from there. Rob would be my point 99% of the time. I would only have Lander in for very quick spots in the first halves of games and only in the second half if we were up or down by 15+.Who is your point guard? Either Lander or Rob, although both are bad, must be on the floor almost the entire game. Did you see Al's 2 bad passes that started the collapse yesterday?

At this point in his career he is more of a creator than a shooter. I would like to see him take more shots as well, but he is 3rd on our team in assists with a low TO rate. I would rotate him and Durham since AD is also more of a creator than a pure shooter. I wouldn’t have then both in the floor at the same time unless you have a shooter at the 4.

No way in the world I play Lander. I don’t have the time to look it up but I am assuming anyone he guards is averaging 30+ points per 40 minutes. As average as the other guys are at the point, they make enough of a difference on defense to be way ahead of Lander.Rob disqualified himself yesterday from consideration as starting point guard. Al, Galloway, and Franklin can't do it. Look at Franklin's TO #s even with a good ankle. That leaves Lander.
More like 100% he goes into the G-League or transfer portal. He's not developing here, so either would be a better option for him personallyTJD isnt even on the radar in the NBA..

I would have agreed with you 3 weeks ago. Now, he's getting better every time he plays.
The guy Dakich was talking to during the game last night had two G-league players in his top 5 NBA draft choices. TJD might decide that playing in the G-league next year is his best shot to improve and be ready for the NBA.TJD isnt even on the radar in the NBA..

I'd bet it will too. Lander and TJD are probably transfers or G-League, will get uglyShould he be on the roster? He is Zack McRoberts. I bet after this season the roster will look very different.
Not defensively. He isn’t ready to contribute on that end of the floor.I would have agreed with you 3 weeks ago. Now, he's getting better every time he plays.
