I think we're set

Yes, we need a foul trouble, injury insurance big man. The bigger the better. Then we'll probably leave 13 open for a surprise.

We know what our starting line-up will be and we have 3 high minute guys off the bench (Galloway, Goode and Tucker) They cover 1-stretch 4. My guess is Rice and Mgbako lead us in minutes. The 15mpg Ballos on the bench will be covered by Reneau and Mgbako can slide to the 4 and open the court up.

We're a lot more balanced and have several combinations that can defend the perimeter. We look as good anyone on paper.

We need another big. MR is foul prone

*Was.

No idea if he will be again.

fwiw - he went from 8 per 40 as a fr to 6 per as a soph. Still way too high but hopefully we see another jump.

We need another big regardless of the above.

History of being foul prone warrants adding a big for insurance

He’s already committed two fouls since the season ended.

He’s already committed two fouls since the season ended.

He got in better shape last summer — let’s give him credit for not fouling of most games, which was the expectation from his freshman campaign.

I’m sure lateral movement, perimeter defense, and 3pt shooting will be things he works on this summer.

 

[Middawg]

A large sample of MRs foul trouble came at the end of the season when some first season starter fatigue was setting in and after that injury to his lower leg was sustained.


Context matters.

Also, I think settling on this roster now with two open schollies is about the dumbest thing I've heard.

If there are two or more starter level players that want to play at IU, grab them.

Do you think MR will play more at the 4 this yr than last, causing him to guard quicker players, giving him more potential foul problems? Or does woody keep him down low

Not for insurance. For necessity.

All year I thought he was the 4 with Ware starting at the 5. ?
