Race hello. Other than those two, not seeing much development
TJD's biggest problem is that our guards are not big scoring threats. So guess who the other team is gonna focus on. He would do fine in a balanced offense.
Al, Race, Armaan, Trayce. All improved since a year or two ago. Al has not seemed to improve a lot since last year but he is a calming spark when no one else is there.
TJD is definitely more physical and more assertive than last year. Armaan and Race are unquestionably better.
Rob needs someone to light a fire under him. Something isn't clicking. He has the talent and the strength and the experience. Maybe it is drive, I don't know.

TJD is now the key focus of every team's scouting report. He is drawing a lot more double and even triple teams. Just about everything he does this year, to include shooting, rebounding, ball control and passing is much more difficult.
And yet he is still frequently getting double/doubles. His scoring is up about 6.5 points per game and rebounding is about the same 8 per game.
To me, that is improvement.

Thompson and Franklin are much improved. Huge improvement in both. TJD is better than last year despite being the focus of every team we play and IU's bad outside shooting. Juwan Morgan also much improved under Archie. Durham improved from his Freshman year. Brunk was a better player at IU than Butler and we need him back. Others seem to be slightly improved. Some about the same. Happens on every team.
Great post. Thinking the same. At one point Al was 1-6 from 3. Senior guard needs to do better. Go Hoosiers!
The statistics tell us they all have improved on the defensive end.
It seems like your question is: Who has improved offensively, except for the guy who has improved the most offensively.
Rob sure hasn't developed much since a fairly impressive freshmen year when he looked like he would turn into a very good player for us. Reminds me of another Rob (Robert) with last name Johnson who never improved much either. Johnson may have actually gotten worse through his career. Diff coaches too. Bottom line is we aren't recruiting well and haven't been for many, many years. It's not like any of our transfers have gone on to do anything special at their new destinations either.
Yes. He was a great complimentary guard to Yogi and Blackmon as an underclassmen. Good set shooter in rhythm, struggled creating his own shot as the lead guard in Archie's first year.
