Now sign Malone and a guard 3pt shooter

Yeah, there's no minutes available at the 1-3 positions. Any good shooters we bring in will need to be 4s and 5s.
There surely are Matt Roths 'out there to be taken.
Humerichus & Malone would make it perfect.
I agree, those are the two I've been focused on as well.
Humrichous + Malone + Another Rim Protector
Are there any "shooters", "basketball smart", "great attitude", players in the portal who are willing to come off the bench? You can only start 5 guys...
With 2-3 more spots available, who will be the starting 5 and who are the rotation guys.
We cannot have guys on the bench who are pouting because they are not starting or getting as much PT.

IMO, the rest won't see double digit minutes. The byproduct of a good, deep team is having some guys unhappy with their minutes. They can either pout, get better, or transfer next spring.
A shooter that can also defend. I don't want someone that is "supposed" to be a shooter. We have seen these come in and take 3 shots per game, miss them all, and be a liability on defense. I've always thought that a good shooter doesn't just come in, shoot the ball, and sit down. I believe they need to be in the game for 20+ minutes to pick their opportunities to take enough good shots to be effective.
To quote Chuck Pagano, on offense, that's a "bowling ball of butcher knives."
Good luck Coach Painter, your move.
Your post made me think about what his move is. Painters move is no move — work with who he has and their incoming class.
To add to the IU/PU rivalry, there is now a clear difference in roster building approach. With one in a million Lurch gone, we can more directly compare the two approaches. Will be interesting — we need to finish ahead of them.
Polar opposite approaches for sure. I’d like to think we can buy enough talent to beat them even with Woody coaching. Bizarre feeling just typing that.
Don't want Malone I would prefer Payne. But yes we need 2 solid three point shooters.
Maybe because Galloway's free throw percentage last year was 0.6% higher than Shaquille O'Neal's career free throw percentage. Galloway needs to get right between the ears before he sniffs the starting lineup.
That’s pretty much the most ridiculous stat ever. How in the wide world of sports can a coach’s kid from the state of Indiana be such a horrible FT shooter?
Leal, Galloway, Cupps, and Newton could fill the shooter role off the bench if they really work on shooting this off-season. A back up 4/5 seems like a bigger roster need to me.
If u look at UTFO’s historical posts u would understand stand where I come from.
None of them is a proven shooter in the B1G
That’s the problem, Leal has now had a 5 year scholarship for 5 points.
What is this "willing" stuff?
Kids start based on how things go in practice. This is college basketball. Even if Woodson tries to turn it into the G-league with all this pay to play garbage, he will be gone in a few years max, and things will return to work ethic and earning a spot. Or else Purdue will gladly take home all the Big Ten championship trophies they can carry.
Zach Anderson from Florida Gulf Coast currently on a visit. 6’7 stretch 4 shot 46% from 3 last year on 111 attempts. Torched us last year for 19 points on 5/7 shooting behind the arc. Theres your shooter off the bench. Should have 15-17 minutes available for him.
I remember saying it in August of 1992 and also in August of 2000.
"Jeremy Hollowell and Hanner Perea" should be the response to anyone trying to claim next year's bricklayers are on track for a championship of any kind.
Let's see how they play before predicting anything but what we've seen before.
He fits one of the needs for sure as far as a guy who can come off the bench and hit shots.
Sure, that's it. He's too white.
I just drove through Georgia, man. There's white. And then there's white.
But, Galloway isn't a good enough shooter. I don't care what color he is.
This guy fits the need very well. Would like it to be a guard but oh well.
Gallo shot 40+ percentage 2 years ago when he didn't have to be the PG and shooting guard. It is possible he could regain his shooting touch when paired with a good and consistent PG. I could see Gallo playing more minutes when teams use 3 guards or when we need more perimeter defense.
Our top 6 are all proven performers at the high major level. They are not unknowns nor are they untested.
Nobody could shoot last year. They replaced those guys with people that can't shoot either. What are they doing?
Galloway's 3-point percentages:
Freshman Year: 18%
Sophomore Year: 21%
Junior Year: 46%
Senior Year: 26%
Galloway's Free Throw Percentage:
Freshman Year: 73%
Sophomore Year: 65%
Junior Year: 64%
Senior Year: 53%
Galloway will get plenty of minutes next year. In terms of shooting, I wouldn't expect much from him.
I predicted TG's 3 pt % would drop as D's could focus on him vs Kopp, JHS and TJD. For the same reason, I think he'll rebound a bit this year. He'll not shoot 46% again, and that was fools gold, but I think he'll get up in the 32%+ range as D's have to contend with Ballo, MR, MM and Rice and Carlyle. I do agree, he's never going to be a "knock-down" shooter.
Galloway needs to not shoot much, sadly.
I don't understand any player not, on their own, working out of such a strange form. Could shoot all day long for years and you can't groove something like that up to a high level.
So he'll never reach what he has the athletic ability to have been.
I don't know what our coaches have been doing with him for years. The staff let him down.
