A crystal ball selection for Myles Rice to IU was made today on 247. He is the reigning PAC 12 Freshman of the Year who averaged 15 ppg. Would address the guard position in a big way.

Needs to work on his shooting but the mechanics look decent....

Many don’t think Galloway should start if we want to change the offense. If he’s our 6th man next year it’ll be a step in the right direction.
He was also first team all PAC-12, and has three years of eligibility left. It would be a great pickup.
He is a good pickup if we have some shooting around him but with Trey already in lineup and Tucker. You are very limited from the outside
Trey has proven to be a good spot up three point shooter. Mgbako will be a volume three point shooter. Tucker is an unknown. Shooting is fine.
No it isn’t fine. Why do you at that?
Lineup:
Pg Rice
Wing: Galloway
Wing: Tucker/MM
4: MR
5: portal big
That is not a good shooting lineup.
To improve this…change to this:
Pg Rice
2: portal shooter
3: Tucker
4 MM
5: MR
Show me how that lineup is fine shooting?? Please do, I will wait on these numbers from you.
Trey was 30-65 (46%) as a secondary ball handler in 2023. Mgbako is trending up and has the potential to put up a few 30 point games next year. He will have the green light whether you like his numbers or not.
Trey was 26-100 last year from 3 and 40-75 from ft line. He can’t shoot
I like Trey a lot, but if he starts then IU is not where they want to be. Hopefully, we can find our starting shooting guard in the portal. Put Trey at his natural sixth man spot.
In 2023 he proved he is a very good set shooter, and in 2024 he proved he can’t shoot off the dribble. Capeesh?
Not really…he was low volume and hit 30 threes as your 2 guard. That’s isn’t great. If IU wants to make a leap they need shooting. Capeesh?
Galloway needs to be a spark off the bench. Not a starter
He could be a starter if your had a shooter at the 1, 3, 4 spot around him
He took 65 or two a game in 2023. You don’t need a high volume shooter next to Mgbako. Think Carmelo Anthony.
I saw that. Not saying I would turn him down if he wants to come but how much cap space are we using to get a guy that appears to be an inefficient scorer except from the FT line (which is a plus)?
I think the kid from Indiana State had really solid numbers. I still think he would be a good get.
MM is not Carmelo. Also Carmelo had McNamara who hit 85 threes and Duany who hit 43 to go with Melo’s 56
Agree Conwell is the better take but Rice is a pg. if we take Both move Trey to bench
Think we all need to calm down about “shooters.” Rice looks like a very solid player and we’d be lucky to have him. I’m sure a year of chemotherapy is tough to come back from at the age of 18 let alone come back and win conference freshman of the year. The kid went 0 for his last 22 from 3 otherwise he would have been around 33 percent. Who knows what was going thru his head at that point of the season? I’m sure he is just thrilled to be able to play college basketball at this point and is taking advantage of it. And you have a kid like Trey who genuinely appears to love playing at IU. They will figure it out.
For the record, are you saying Mgbako is not a shooter?
He is a scorer who can hit the 3 but I would consider him a great shooter. 50/153
Also are you ignoring stats I provided? melo had shooters
I would guess Rice gets his 3PT % into the 30’s. Form is okay. It’s tough as freshman and players need time to acclimate. Like a Ware for example.
He can hit from outside but not at a high efficiency. He is fine if you have others but he can’t be your best
I’m just trying to get an answer, so we can refer to this post after next season. Yes or no?
Good god dude you are something else. Either have an actual discussion or go back to being a Woody yes man
I like Mac, but I'm not ever going to think him and Melo, C'mon.
I agree he raises it into the 30's. 81% on free throws shows he might not be as bad as his 3P% shows and being able to play off ball more might make it easier for him to make them. If he hits 33% on 2 shots a game that should mean we're taking more 3's at least.
He's a freshman but in his third season as he redshirted his first season and cancer kept him out in '22-'23. I think he'd acclimate really nicely in Bloomington and lead for a few years.
