No mention of Leal on here?

[Stuffshot]

Very slow latterly. Needs to be wide open to shoot.

Woody has seen him everyday since he started. There is a reason he is last on the bench.

"Slow latterly" you say?

I can think of one of our starters that is fast as hell, but he often runs to the wrong place either losing his man or leaving another one wide open.

The whole flow of the game literally changed when Leal came in late in the 2nd half. I think he was +17 during his time on the floor. We started playing harder on D and moved the ball around better on O. I'm not about to say he could be our savior but I've never understood why the kids doesn't get 8-10 min per game. He clearly understands the game better than all of our overrated athletes, plays harder, is always in the right spot and doesn't do stupid shit. He should definitely be getting some of Cupps and Gunns minutes.

He was a warm body. He didn’t do anything.

I know it is fun for you to poke at me with Tamar, but he is shooting 50% from three. My favorite thing about him was always his shooting. IU could use it desperately. Considering Mack is the only shooter on the team.

NBA loves shooters. I would slow down Mac and cheese boy.

Tamar seems to have settled in. He will be fine.

This. I didn't get a chance to watch the game until someone posted the whole game on YouTube. Yes, IU pulled ahead while Leal was in and the announcers acknowledged him, but he wasn't responsible for the rally.

I didn't really see him do anything that Cupps wouldn't have done when he was in.

Kinda like talking about our NBA players without watching the games. I mean after you ripped TJD for not doing shit in the NBA, he broke the internet. That was nostradumbass level on steroids, well done.

It was literally the next game when Trayce started his roll. Early on, he wasn’t seeing much court time. I believe I accurately quoted he was averaging 7 minutes a game. Now he’s kicking ass and I’m happy as hell for him. You know what they say about hindsight being 20/20, right?

I think it's the cover story on this site, "Leal sparks Hoosiers... or something." If he could help IU win, he would play more. It's not complicated. He played a few minutes to help IU win against a bad team with a lot of IU guys sitting, good for Anthony. Not a kid that is going to play 8-10 a game the rest of the year, or it is going to be a terrible rest of the season.

CJ still gambles when he shouldn't on defense. That is why Anthony got minutes last night. There was a play ( not sure if you could see it on TV) the last minutes of his night, when IU scored and CJ tried to turn the KSU PG in the back court and the PG rode CJ all the way to the rim. That was it for him.

He struggles to keep his intensity up. No room for his gambles at this point of his career.

Every player on that bench is a good basketbal player.

Some good enough to play at a high level night in and night out, some capable of playing well in certain situations.

AL had a good showing and it won't be the last time we see that.

I'm convinced some of these jokers only look at box scores to decide who they think played well. Especially with games they'd actually have to pay for (B1G+/Peacock). Anyone who didn't think Leal was a calming influence and was at least partly responsible for the clear change of direction in that game didn't watch. Or if they did, they sure as hell don't know much about basketball.

I just kid you. I wish Tamar had worked out because he felt like a big steal coming in for us, pulling him away from his Texas commit.
Disappointed it didn’t work out.

The only thing we have now as a memory is a shirt they still sell that can actually be purchased and, yes, you can still buy these:
So, it looks like some portion of the funds might go into his NIL.
