Tucker DeVries

I had a labrum repair and had the same surgeon that worked on Tracy McGrady. McGrady was shooting even worse than usual and said he had a shoulder injury. He started wearing some kind of adhesive bandage on his shoulder. The surgeon said they couldn’t see any problems on imaging but took a surgical look see because McGrady was insistent. During the surgical look they found no problems at all. The surgeon’s position was that it must have been some kind of psychological coping mechanism to explain his horrific shooting slump. When McGrady had a shooting slump it was worse than bad. His shooting percentages were bad with his normal game.
Is this some sort of veiled shot at DeVries? Sorry, didn't read all the posts... But he was shooting nearly 50% from the 3, so your comparison, if it was an attempt to compare McGrady and DeVries shoulder issues, is absurd.
The correct answer, for those following, is that DeVries was with an entirely new team, and played against Pitt, Gonzaga, Louisville, and Arizona, in those 8 games. It was a step up in size, athleticism, etc... So he was adjusting to being able to finish inside, I'm sure. But obviously he hadn't lost his shooting touch...
We'll find out next season if he was going to adjust and start finishing better inside against better competition. I suspect he was, and will.
There are a few here that become unglued when reading a simple statement of fact. I get it, it is supposed to be all make believe.
He’s more obsessed with IU than most IU fans. Pretty wild and also pathetic.
So just a side story... Got it.
Was just odd because someone in the post was questioning DeVries shooting, and DeVries went down with a shoulder injury, and detractors have questioned how severe that injury was... And there was no other context for the McGrady story.
I spent 20 minutes on the last page responding to the assertions.
He had two seasons already and on track for a great third that would have led the Big10 in 3 pt shooting. The statistic usually tracked is made 3 pointers.
I always hated McGrady-couldn’t stand his style of play and when he was together with Yao-unbearable.
Ha ha...no, my bad for not reading further back. He's going to be a good wing for us. But we need some speed and athleticism around him.
DeVries has made 2.5 3s per game over his career.
Heide has made 0.6 3s per game over his career.
Part of being a good shooter is being able to get your shot.
You clearly don’t know anything about basketball. GTFO…
So glad to see a 3 pt shot with nice trajectory. I am so tired of the flat fastball 3’s.
You can't point out he shot only 9 of 30 for 30% from two and say that is a small sample size and then apply he shot 47% from three in the same sample size, its either both or neither. I can tell you Fletcher Loyer shot 59% for Purdue his first 8 games, but he ended up shooting 45% for the year, something happened, BT games started, they start coaching to take away players strengths. Percentages drop, better completion. Tucker should be an upgrade, but his overall stats are pretty average.
Loyer shot 59% his first 8 games against Alabama, @Marquette, Nc State and Ole Miss, two those are still playing, it still is just a small sample size. Loyer after 3 years is shooting 44% from 3 and DeVries is shooting 36.7%. Who knows what they are going to next year, but some on here are saying Tucker is lock 1st team BT, just like Ballo, Rice and Carlye were all world last year! Rinse and repeat. And some wonder about expectations? Geesh!
See thing is...no one expects this. But its.a.sweet argument for those.wanting to say expectations here are ridiculous.
They're not. I.csnt speak for everyone. But I can tell you what I expect:
1. Not to lose repeatedly by 15+.
2. Be competitive in the conference (Top 4)
3. Be a legit 2nd weekend threat.
4. Perennial Top 20 program.
That should be expected here. And yes..it can be done quickly. With the right hire.
This has to be one of the dumbest post ever.
1. His 30% from "2" was in a shortened season(8 games). He only took 30 shots. What's stupid is using that against him, then ignoring the 3pt%--then turning around amd saying "it cant be pointed out"--Yet, well, you did just that.
Way to go. Using an 8 game sample as a measuring point.
His overall stats are pretty average?
17ppg/6rpg/2.3apg. Shooting 37% from three. 44% overall..and 80% from the line.
That's "pretty average"?
Jfc...Get proper ventilation for your car.

You're too dumb to post on this board, get the f*** out.
What are you talking about? We don't give a shit what Fletcher frickin Loyer did. The last time I cared to pay attention to him he was smiling and talking shit with our crowd, then proceeding to get DESTROYED, by a mediocre Indiana team...and then losing whatever games out of whatever coming down the stretch.
I'm sure he'll have to wear Depends playing against Houston this weekend. Good thing they're not wearing their home whites.
I was careful to label career and single year stats. You are the one mixing and matching.
Freshman season
Loyer 59 made 3’s
Devries 75 made 3’s
Soph season
Loyer 63 made 3’s
Devries 88 made 3’s
Junior Season
Loyer 73 made 3’s
Devries 87/made 3’s
You said that Devries not near the top of Big10 shooting while actually he would have won the stat category 3 pointers made both his Soph and Junior seasons.. I did note that he was on track to exceed 100 made this past season before injury
He took only 30 shots from 2 and 55 from 3 this past season and hit 26 shots from 3 and 9 from 2 so yes nearly twice the sample size from 3 than from 2 but that has nothing to do with his 3’s his Soph and Junior seasons being much higher than Loyer.
Nathan Childress went 1-1 from 3 a few seasons back but wasn't lauded as a knockdown 3 shooter (Oh my God he hit 100% from 3). Good thing because the next season he went 0-1 from 3.
