Surprised Malik is as high as he is. For someone who might be more familiar with his game, what does his shot look like? I think he did take a 3 Saturday. Did he shoot 3s at MV at all? Percentage?
On a podcast one of our assistants (months ago) said that he had numerous offensive moves in his arsenal. I can’t speak to his shot, but he was described as having a variety of polished, different ways with which he could score.
His footwork is supposedly high level. We will see pretty soon. I’ve heard he has a nice jump shot but haven’t seen it personally.
He has a great midrange fade. a la his idol the late great Kobe Bean Bryant, RIP. Got that dog in him!!!!
This team has a lot more mid range gamers seems like. Kansas last year.
Hate to be the barer of bad news but we are gonna have injuries, and likely 2 or 3. I will be shocked if we aren't missing at least one or two of the top 10 guys we think are going to play come March. IU always has injuries, as do most college bball teams. We always talked about what if OG doesnt get hurt... Difference this year is we should have true depth to fill in.
Only spots that worry me is the point and wings. Especially at the 3. Still in better shape than most years.
It will come down to our guard play and the collective team’s ability to consistently knock down outside shots. JMO, but this is a recording.
